How will he go playing center?
I am assuming that they will still want to run smaller lineups too make use of virtually the same time of player they acquired in Allen, Miller & Jones.
Irving, Waiters, Miller, Lebron, Love
With Bosh, he wasn't an elite defender, but the guy could still swat a few shots away and at least challenge down low.
Is Love capable of that or prepared to become that type of player?
I know a lot of people will fear that potential offensive output, but those types of line ups won't be able to guard a tree.
If they go with your more traditional line ups by keeping Lebron at the 3 and Love at the 4, this is their only chance if they want to have enough balance to get it done, but it means that 'depth' is reduced because guys like Miller, Allen & Jones are not seeing many minutes at the SF spot should Lebron play the bulk of his minutes there.
They have flaws that can be exposed, especially in their first 1-2 seasons together.
It's going to take a hell of a coach to make this work in Cleveland. It's interesting that there's been very few stories about Blatt or what he might do with this team. Very challenging position he's in, coming into the league and coaching this team.
