Laugh if you want. This is the perfect attitude and mindset for him to have.

He actually finished 10th for 6moy 2 seasons ago, when he started the season off the bench (behind Mozgov). That was with him ending up starting half the season.

I agree that it is the positive attitude you want him to have instead of pouting about being benched.

Best 2nd unit in the league?

My top 5 candidates...

Cleveland: Rose/Wade/Korver/Frye/TT

Golden State: Livingston/Young/Iggy/West/McGee

San Antonio: Mills/Ginobili/Anderson/Gay/Lauvergne

Miami: Johnson/Richardson/Winslow/Olynyk/Adebayo

Denver: Murray/Beasley/Barton/Hernangomez/Faried

I doubt Bam plays much at the start of the season. Miami current bench unit likely looks like this most likely.

Tyler Johnson
Ellington
Richardson/Winslow (whoever doesn't win the starting job
McGruder
Olynyk

I think honestly it's a horrible move for the regular season. It puts unnecessary wear and tear on Lebron, Love and Crowder having to bang with bigger bodies. You don't need that kind of punishment. In the post-season though, I think it would work out well nicely for them going smaller and being more versatile. But it's something you can also practice in the regular season like the Warriors do. The Warriors don't go "small" to start the game or even play extended minutes with a small lineup. Generally it's the last 5 or 6 minutes (or less) of the 2nd and 4th quarters if necessary. The Warriors small lineup wasn't used much during the course of the regular season. Rolling this small lineup this early for the Cavs gives teams more advantage on how to play against this lineup, instead of it being a change of pace.

The regular season is all about getting through it as healthy and with as little wear and tear as possible. Now I'm sure TT will still get a big chunk of minutes upwards of 30 a night, but from a principle stand point I don't agree with it for the Cavs team. Really think that if they go with this lineup, this early in the season, it'll hurt them in the long run.

I hear you, but most teams don't have 4's or even 5's that bang around inside.

Most often, Jae will be guarding the 3, I would think, cause that will usually be the better player. LeBron on the 4 - for a lot of teams - becomes basically a roamer. (Like before Durant came when LeBron would take Dray and roam/help)

Pelicans, Grizzlies, Heat, Spurs, maybe Clippers its a different story. But for most teams, I could see LeBron guarding the 4 being actually less of a toll than if he was guarding the 3.

He won't get it because guys like Lou Williams, Crawford, Clarkson, Wade, Eric Gordon will put up starter numbers.

But, his impact can be just as important.

I doubt that, maybe if it was mid January.
