Adams and waiters for me.

Think Dion could be a Damn scary 4th option.

Does anybody think otherwise except for Brooks? I'm not even sure Perkins is an NBA player. But I do love Adams, how could one not?

Scoring from everywhere and playing some defense. As a 4th option, Waiters will probably still put up 15+ppg.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Agreed, Klay has looked very good. His per 36 minutes number have been:

30.3 pts, 4.2 reb, 4.2 ast, 2.3 stl, 1.5 blk, 56% FG, 65% 3-pt

Not a bad start for Klay after being the 2nd leading scorer on the FIBA USA team over the summer.

No way is Waiters putting up 15PPG with Kyrie Love and Lebron on the team...

Depends. What do the rotations look like? Who do the other team's defenses try to take away? Are there times when Dion comes off the bench? How many regular-season games do LBJ, Love and Kyrie actually play? How many minutes in those games do they actually play? There are a lot of factors.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

It really depends on the minutes and shot attempts he will get per game. One can assume he will see an uptick in efficiency by playing with LeBron and Love, and he is also more seasoned and in better shape. If he is at say 30 minutes per game; I think it would be reasonable to assume that he could be scoring anything from 13-15 points per game on 12 or so shots per game.

I expect the cavs to be one of the league leaders in scoring and pace. They have the athletes and the ability to rebound and get up the floor quickly.

KLove and Dion. Though I don't expect Dion to look as good with the Big 3 back in the lineup. Love is looking great though. His game is definitely sustainable regardless who's in

Drummond seems like an obvious choice, his usage rate is going to go up, I'm thinking 17 and 13, 1.8bks 1.5 steals.

That is a bold statement considering Waiters is a solid spot up shooter, and will likely get minutes with the second unit where he will be a focal point on offense.
Well at least we're not Detroit!
