Good pickup for cavs if he can stay on the floor

Cavs needed defense at the guards, hopefully this helps. Crazy to have Strus out there trying to defend the opponent's best.

Ball is a good compliment to Mitchell on paper, a big point guard that can take the tougher defensive assignment. Cleveland is well-positioned. I'm not sure what if anything they really lack unless you just want to insist Mitchell isn't a"true superstar. " People insist the East is wide open but I don't agree, Cleveland could lose anyone except for maybe Mitchell and still win the conference. Not better than the Thunder but there's no good reason not to pick them to take the East.

Mobley is the key to cavs. Mitchell isnt carrying anyone as we have seen time and time again

They lack a true number 2. Garland has his stats and efficiency take a dive every playoffs.

Ty Jerome playing beside himself early in the playoffs helped to mask some of that. But they need that 2nd shot creator.

This tells me they're not going to pay Ty Jerome. Even though he shit the bed against the Pacers he still had a good regular season and was a Top 5 6MotY candidate.

Last season they won over 60 games, dominating the conference in the regular season. Mobley and Garland are both capable of averaging over 20 and the team that eliminated them won't have their start player next year. There may be a few teams that can take the other spot in the conference Finals but Cleveland is set to make the NBA Finals unless something major happens with another team this offseason.

That would be a first....

I like the way the guy plays, but he's cursed or something.

Some teams are just built for the regular season. The 2015 Hawks for example. But many never thought they had enough.

Most of the East osn't even built for the regular season. Cleveland has a great coach and the most talent by a wide margin. Plus Mitchell can be great in the clutch. They are an easy to pick favorite.

I like it for the bulls and I like it for Cleveland too. Lonzo played, keep in mind there are 82 games in a regular season, 247 games in the last 8 years. He shoulda played 650-750 ez. Bulls can and will outscore anyone. We got the next gianis can’t even spell his name till he wins a chip, in Matas aka Lile Buzi Vert. Bulls, unlike any team in the nba actually hold their own 1st and 2nd round picks for the next 5 seasons. It’ll be fun to see what the bulls can do as the old heads die off aka draymond green bron curry all them old hoes.
