All 3 love to shoot, and they still have Kyle Korver and JR Smith at SG who need to be fed. There's likely to be some disgruntled players in this group. The Cavs will be a real coaching challenge.
I'm not sure this is going to be much of a problem. Irving & IT took the same number of shots last year. No change in losing the one & gaining the other.
Neither Smith nor Korver took a lot of shots (per 40 minutes) last year. In fact, Korver has never taken a lot of shots in his career -- he just makes a lot of those he does take!
I don't think anyone will care what Rose wants to do. I doubt he'll get much playing time for that matter (certainly not once IT is back).
Wade could pose a problem -- if he wanted to. But I kind of doubt he'll want to.
Yeah, I don't see a problem - especially because IT and Rose aren't going to play together, Wade's a great passer who understands that winning is most important - he's understood that since his early days in Miami playing with Shaq. And the other guys are in there to stretch defenses - so they help everyone else. Cleveland is the clear favorite in the East, imo. Btw, Felder's now their 4th string PG. I thought they'd have a depth problem - but with the Boston trade and the signings they've made, they've taken care of depth issues, and when IT's healthy, they're starting lineup is arguably better than last year's because of Crowder, imo.
