What are the best lineups for the Cleveland Cavaliers? | Locked On Cavs Podcast
The starting lineup with Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen didn’t play a ton together last season, does that mean we should or shouldn’t be concerned with its lack of success?
On today’s episode of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham (@RealDCunningham) of 92.3 The Fan and Cleveland Magazine talks about what lineups worked the best for the Cavs during the past season and which lineups he would like to see Kenny Atkinson deploy more frequently in his first season as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The best 5 man rotation in the NBA last year for a long stretch was DM,STRUS,OKORO,WADE and JA!
If Garland and Mitchell move without the ball then that could overcome some of the issues with size.
They could have Garland come off the bench but I don't think they'll do that because of the max contract.
The real problem is Donnovan is too short to play the 2 but you don't want to get rid of him because of what he brings. He could play point but like he said in the video that might cause more problems down the road.
10:35 that sigh…the same reason why I commented about Strus in yesterday's locked on fantasy hoops video. Is averaging 12 points during the regular season "good enough" from our starting small forward? The answer is no & for most teams across the league the answer is no too. And even worse, averaging 9 points in the postseason on 36 minutes per game from our starting 3 is just…9 freaking points! Where is the Strus from his Cavs debut dropping 27 points and 12 rebounds?! THAT IS THE STRUS WE NEED!
Any successful business has to think out of the box from time to time in order to be successful. Same goes for the cavaliers. Darius garland coming off the bench is thinking out of the box. So many positives to this move.
None of the overpaid 4 are coming off the bench on paper , even knowing it might improve the bench having DG running it. Or might improve the spacing benching Allen
People underestimate wades impact.
I think Atkinson starts and plays who matches up best, opponent dependent, regardless of $$ players make. He had the balls to bench Gobert in the Olympics.
