Ehhhh.... You could get away with it, but the Cavs problem is that there's a gaping hole at the 3.

That's the point and you gotta give up something to get something.

IMO, I think their two small guards are more of a problem than their 2 bigs

I just don't buy the spacing with those two in a seven game series. I get the concerns about the Garland/Mitchell pairing as well.

True. I just seen double big work more times even in the modern era compared to 2 small guards. You have to pair a small guard with size in the backcourt

Curry had Klay Thompson
Isaiah Thomas had Marcus Smart
Mike Connelly has Anthony Edwards
Brunson has Mikal Bridges

For the Cavs to have two small guards who are ALSO defensive liabilities is just insane to me

Even though Donovan's defensive track record has been spotty, I still believe he can be a quality defender. His strength and length allows him to play bigger than he is.

A good wing is going to cost them more than just one big, that's the issue. Unless they want to roll the dice on Brandon Ingram if he hits free agency :manny:
