James's confidence comes from the significant improvement in their team's strength this season.
There is a statistic: since the summer of 2005, the Cavaliers have been the team with the most net salary cap increase for four consecutive years until this summer, reaching $92.31 million this season, an increase of more than $43 million over four summers.
This season, the Cavaliers' total salary surpassed the Mavericks' $91.31 million, second only to the Knicks' $96.65 million, ranking second in the NBA team salary rankings.
After spending so much money for so many years, this summer the Cavaliers finally spent it where they should have.
We have to mention the "Money-sprayer" Bucks, as everyone's attention this summer was on the Celtics and Suns, overlooking the Bucks who were also tearing down the house.
