Coming up, big Cavs talk today.

We're going to sit down with Justin Rowan and look ahead to the future of the Cavs, what they might do in the playoffs, and whether LeBron James is coming this summer.

Good morning, everybody.

What's up, ass?

What's up, Justin Rowan?

Welcome to the show.

Justin Rowan, one of the hosts of the Chasedown podcast.

He covers the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Hope you guys had a good all-star weekend.

I did.

By the way, Justin, you're wearing a Jasper Canada shirt.

yes i'm very threatened by canadians you know it's that maple leaf on your backpack to hide the fact that you know or to cover for the fact that that's not american right that really scares me yeah okay are the calves scary to you now i think to some extent yes

Yeah, I will say I think Jared Allen has a track record of success and is a pick-and-roll big, good short-roll passer.

The problem that they're going to have, the hang-up that they're going to have when their five-man lineup is out there is Evan Mobley, the shooter.

30 from three is not going to get it done he's a low volume shooter right he needs to actually take shots that's going to be what creates all this space for for allen and then you've got the big to big passing that i do think is something they can use so maybe it's a little bit of mobley diving from the corner and you know catch getting the pass from allen as the defense rotates there are ways to work around it and kenny atkinson's a good coach

I'm not worried about the structure.

It's more of the performance, like you said.

Harden is going to be available.

He is going to play.

We've already seen, though, in the fourth quarters, he is making Donovan Mitchell's life easier, right?
