Realistically, the Cleveland Cavaliers' biggest move this summer was not making a move at all.
The team has money to spend, but by remaining frugal and planning for the future, the organization has put itself in prime position to make noise at next year?s trade deadline and in the 2013 free-agent market.
Of the few moves made by the team this offseason, none was more significant than taking Dion Waiters fourth overall in the NBA draft.
He is a talented scorer who overpowers his competition at the rim, but he lacks a consistent shot and may or may not show his versatility at the next level.
Despite having a solid build and deceptive athleticism, he is a bit undersized for an NBA 2-guard. Players such as Dwayne Wade have made it possible to succeed despite their height, but an extreme level of production and leadership is what separates a player like Wade from the rest of the bunch.
Waiters is going to be good, but choosing him with the No. 4 pick could prove to be a reach if he never lives up to the expectations of such a high lottery pick.
Luckily for Waiters, he has Kyrie Irving in the same backcourt to help alleviate the pressure.
