If we can stay healthy, I'm not sure we need a trade. Our front court could use some depth and ducking the tax this year would be great, but when you start thinking about who to send out, disrupting chemistry, etc. TT is the only obvious expendable.

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.

I actually could be a huge hit to the chemistry. He's def a player-bench coach. He even sits right next to the coaches despite being an end of the bench guy.

Basically, I doubt we get rid of TT even if he doesn't directly impact the on-court product.

Kenny tried out a horns set this game and it seemed to result in really good shot. I'll hold my horses on it until we see how it works against better opponents.

The set was our ballhandler bringing it up and two screeners on either side (one was a shooter and one was a big).

We got shots really early in these sets so I didn't see what the gameplan is for the screeners.

This would be a pretty good time for Strus to come back.Image
