In context
Loweobviously that would be helpful it feels like we've been saying that for four years um you know part of my as you may have heard i don't trust the cleveland cavaliers when i'm picking teams to come out of the east uh i don't trust james harden in big games and i just feel like i don't know how you feel about this i i thought the peyton watson trade was a very good move for them and the kind of move
Lowethat they should be doing and the player profile that they've been searching for i do think like the first 30 games of watson mobley allen is going to be a little clunky and there's going to be a lot of learning curve to like all right he's in the corner teams aren't guarding him even though he shot very well in the corner if he does that again teams will guard him not like the most intuitive catch and go playmaker but
Lowecan do it the guards both dribble a lot um it just feels like it's going to be a little clunky on offense And they have this lever to hit off the bench of going small with Watson at the four. You throw in Tyson for one of the bigs. You throw in Sam Merrill, both of them, whatever.
LoweI just feel like the Cavs are going to have to search a little bit for what is our optimal rotation? What is our optimal five -man lineup to close games with? All the stuff other teams all have to do, too. I just feel like it's going to be a little clunky for them.
LoweI don't know how you think about that.
LoweI don't
Duncanthink it's unfair. I think because I think of a big picture question that I had for Cleveland. And we had talked about this when we had to chase down guys on our podcast.
