The NBA offseason has featured a lot of trades, free agent signings and cuts, and, by far, the largest free agent acquisition was LeBron James.

The four time NBA Most Valuable Player and two-time NBA champion decided to return home and play for the Cleveland Cavaliers once again. With James in Cleveland, the Cavaliers are the favorites to win the East.

There's a great chance the Cavaliers will win the East, but to ensure they win the NBA Championship, here are five things they must do.

1. Take Advantage of Weak Eastern Conference

Everybody knows the Western Conference is far superior than the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers should have the best record after 82 games and get the No. 1 seed with home court advantage. But the Cavaliers shouldn't take any game for granted. They should look at the big picture and try to have a better record than any other team in the league. If the Cavaliers have a better record than the San Antonio Spurs or Oklahoma City Thunder, they can get home court advantage.

With Paul George expected to miss the entire season, winning the East should be a lock.

2. Prepare For the San Antonio Spurs

No team has given James more trouble throughout his career than the Spurs. The Silver and Black franchise has faced James in the finals three times, winning twice. This also includes the last two NBA Finals appearances. James has faced the Spurs in three of his five finals. If it wasn't for Ray Allen's miraculous series-saving three-point shot in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals, James would have been 0-3 against the Spurs. Bottom line, the Cavaliers should keep an eye on the Spurs all season long.

3. Feed LeBron James

Cavaliers management should do whatever it takes to make James happy and comfortable. Last time he wasn't satisfied in Cleveland, he left. Miami Heat President Pat Riley called James out in a press conference, and he left. The Cavaliers didn't do a great job of building around James his first time around, but that doesn't appear to be the case now. The team is building around him and has brought in--and traded away--players to suit James. It looks as if James will also be getting a max contract in 2016, as well.

4. Kevin Love Has to Play Elite (If He Arrives)

Kevin Love isn't officially a Cavalier yet, but an "agreement" between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cavaliers has been made. The earliest the trade can be made is Aug. 23 because Cavs No.1 NBA Draft pick Andrew Wiggins is a rookie. If this trade does eventually go through, one of the best power forwards in the NBA will be playing on the Cavaliers. Love is pretty much an automatic double-double who can score from anywhere on the court, but his defense could use some improvements. Playoff basketball is just like any other sport: defense wins championships. We will see if Love is up for the challenge.

5. Kyrie Irving Has to Adjust

Irving was the No. 1 overall pick by the Cavaliers (one of the four Cavalier No. 1 overall picks since 2003) in 2011. Irving has been a great young point guard for the team. Three years into the league, Irving averages 20.7 points per game and 5.8 assists per game. It's no big surprise that Irving doesn't put up huge assist numbers because he's never had a No. 1 scoring option playing with him. With James on the floor along side him, Irving has the potential to be an elite point guard in this league. He does, however, have to change his style of play. Instead of being an Allen Iverson-type of guard, he's going to have to switch to more of "pass first" Chris Paul-type of point guard.
