The Cleveland Cavaliers have a roster full of redundancy.
But does it matter?
Bringing back the ‘core 4’ of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen might be the best move for the Cavs in the short and long term.
But they’re not really the redundancy that you should be worried about. It’s the supporting role players, particularly on the perimeter that have overlapping size, skills, and roles that leave significant holes and don’t help mitigate the weaknesses of playing with the core 4.
That’s why the Cavs doing nothing thus far in the NBA offseason is not ideal.
In an Eastern Conference that is loading up and getting more competitive, the Cavaliers front office seems to be banking on internal development and a coaching change as the path forward.
As fans, we have to hope they’re right. But you’re right to be concerned.
