The Cleveland Cavaliers crashed and burned in the playoffs last season when Darius Garland got hurt. Despite an uncertain injury timeline, the franchise has made its stance on their All-Star point guard crystal clear -- they are not concerned heading into next season.
There were plenty of calls for the Cavaliers to break up their core four players this summer after another disappointing playoff finish. It is certainly true that the fit of Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell is not ideal given that both thrive with the ball and are small, below-average defenders.
On the other hand, it's hard to find another backcourt with the pure offensive power that the Cavaliers can boast, and this was a team that won 64 games last season.
