Cleveland Cavaliers
Biggest Hole: Backup PG
Ah, the NBA Champions. I’m not going to sit here and bash the champs. They beat one of the best regular season teams in NBA history, and one of the best teams ever period. LeBron James was phenomenal in the Finals and Kyrie Irving finally proved that he can be relied on when it matters most.
When it comes to their offseason, it’s no surprise that the Cavs didn’t do much. They were pretty handcuffed financially, and that was evident by their inability to retain Matthew Dellavedova and (possibly) J.R. Smith (who remains a free agent).
They did manage to trade for Mike Dunleavy, though, who was a Bulls’ casualty as they scrambled to make room for Dwyane Wade. I don’t think Cleveland should be worried about the fact that LeBron is still a free agent, though. Think.
Not yet, at least.
In the end, the fact that the Cavs don’t have a reliable backup point guard will probably end up hurting at some point this season. Are they going to rely on Kay Felder?
