Cleveland Cavaliers: I.T. Support

Everyone knows that whatever LeBron says, goes. Many rumors have emerged this season speculating whether LeBron is leaving or not, where he’s going, but to be honest not a whole lot of focus has been on the Cavs’ biggest offseason move – trading for I.T. Or maybe I should put it this way – because the Cavs went on a 13-game winning streak (and are currently on a 5 game-winning streak), people are beginning to take the Cavs more seriously. So what could the Cavs need after winning 18 of their last 19?

Lue could try to integrate young players like London Perrantes and Ante Zizic (who I personally think should get more run) but you run the risk of ruining chemistry when I.T. returns. LeBron leads the team in 2PA per game (18.7), Kevin Love is in 2nd (13.4), and then no one else on the Cavs is averaging double digit field goal attempts except for Derrick Rose (11.9); who hasn’t played since November 7th.

It’s no secret that just because a team is attempting a bunch of shots that indicates a good squad, but the Cavs are going to have to figure out how to integrate I.T.’s 13.9 career FGA. I should add that I don’t think it’s a bad problem to have, but they could really use the King of the Fourth to help alleviate the burden off the King’s shoulders.
