And they're going to help off of them and they're going to come into the lane and you're going to have Mobley out there and Allen out there already. And now you have three guys who you're not guarding and it's going to be a problem. Or it's Dean Wade, who gives you a little bit of everything, but not a lot of anything. Or it is. Ken isn't healthy either and isn't healthy.
Or it's Karis Levert, who is shooting the heck out of the ball this season, but is can get bullied on defense and historically is not an amazing shooter. And you wonder if those numbers are going to regress. To a degree. And with Hunter, it's like he makes sense. He's big. He's physical. He's having the best year of his career.

He can knock down corner threes consistently, 39, 40% on corner threes. He's having the best shooting season of his career right now. I think he'll make a ton of sense for them offensively. Keep him in the corners. He's really good at baseline cutting when defenders fall asleep and stuff. He's gotten really good at that. I think... He makes a ton of sense for them. I thought that was a good move.

Levert has had a really good year. Hunter is maybe the sixth man of the year favorite, though. And Niang had kind of fallen out of the rotation there. So I like that move for Cleveland. And I also appreciate Cleveland being so close to the tax and being like, screw it. We're adding money. We believe in this team.

I think they might. There's no question there are elements that they'll miss. Like... he's had a really good year for them shooting over 40 from three. And he's been a really important playmaker, but they can rejigger their rotation also in ways to make this work.

Like they've got to elite, elite, elite, all-star level playmaking guards and Mitchell and Darius Garland, who are both literally all-stars. Yeah. Literally all-stars. Both of them are awesome. Garland's having the best year of his career. He has been great. And he's been a great playmaker for them.

Evan Mobley is not your conventional guard who is going to set up, but he's had a really, really good season as a playmaker and really as a connector. And honestly, I think Ty Jerome gives him a little bit of a nod to that direction, too.

Ty Jerome has been one of the great surprises in the league this year. He's been awesome for them. And he just comes in and takes 19 floaters in a row. And he hits 16 of them and shoots 40-some-odd percent from three. And he's been good when you give the ball to him in the bench lineups. And it looks real. I don't have any reason to believe that it's not real. Real.
