Could the Cleveland Cavaliers trade Darius Garland this season? Will Evan Mobley round into form? Can a brutally honest film session from Kenny Atkinson get the Cavs back on track? Jason Lloyd & McNuggets break it all down on the latest episode of the Ultimate Cavs Show. The Cavaliers won 64 games last season, winning the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed in the playoffs. They are stacked again, featuring four players who have each made at least one All-Star team: Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen. (Garland required offseason toe surgery, but participated in a 5-on-5 practice this week and is nearing a return.) They replaced their Sixth Man of the Year candidate, Ty Jerome, with Lonzo Ball, adding the former No. 2 overall pick to a wing rotation that includes De'Andre Hunter, Max Strus (who will miss the start of the season), Dean Wade and Sam Merrill. There is some overlap on the ball between Mitchell and Garland in the backcourt, though the former ceded some control of the offense last season, and it worked to great success. Same goes for Mobley and Allen in the frontcourt, though Mobley's development as a perimeter player has helped their spacing. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
