Even so, plays should be run for him. Like not even a pick and roll play? Lobs? Its horrible
The only thing they allow him to do is get offensive rebound putbacks from Garland and Mitchell's misses lol
They run pick and rolls with him and he's good in those but he needs to be able to shoot. The only way it works with him only being effective in the paint is if he plays center and he's too sleight for that.

Cleveland has such a weird roster. It seems like they've just signed/traded guys just to do it instead of trying to make the pieces fit.

They have a small backcourt, then signed Strus to play SF and he's only 6'5" and definitely doesn't have the athleticism to defend on the wing. Their front court got bullied by the Knicks in the playoffs and they decided to just run it back. They have no shooting in that front court either.

What is their identity beyond hoping Mitchell and Garland get hot?
Okoro not living up has really hurt.

2 thoughts:

1. Harden needs to handle the ball way more when PG comes back. From the games that I have watched of them this season PG is handling the ball more than Harden. Harden and Kawhi should be option 1 and 2 and PG needs to be 3rd.

2. The Clippers are an athletic power forward away from being really scary.

OKC needs a little more firepower. Even Bogdanovic from the Pistons would be a big help. They can't sit this trade deadline out.
