Do We Go Big or Small?

The Cleveland Cavs have appeared to be the NBA's most versatile team. Besides them having many big-men and athletic forwards, they also have an outstanding amount of shooters including LeBron.

Now that they are the best PROJECTED team in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers are probably the NBA's most versatile as well.

LeBron – PG
Danny Green – SG
Jamario Moon – SF
Ilgauskas – PF
Shaq – C


That equals the incredible heights of, 6'8" - 6'6" - 6'8" - 7'3" - 7-1." That's enormous.


People believe that Z and Shaq at the same time would slow down the defense and if you want to argue that, then fine I'll agree. But what if instead we added 6'11" Varejao for Z?

It’s funny to me, and I really would love to see teams struggle as they try to match-up with that, also defensively, that group would be very acceptable.

Aside from that, the Cavs could still produce a rotation of players that would be able to get up and down with ANYBODY in the league.

Mo Williams – PG
DelonteSG
Jamario Moon – SF
LBJ – PF
Varejao – C


The key to this line-up, of course, is Mr. 23 at Power Forward. Remember game five of the Eastern Conference Finals? LeBron annihilated Petrius and he was basically unstoppable at the low post area.


CONSIDER

LeBron – PG
Anthony Parker – SG
Moon - SF
Shaq – PF
Varejao – C


The match-ups are incredible mismatches.

Other teams… I’m sorry, but add a loss to your statistics, once you enter the "Q" this season.
  • Projected Record: 60-22
  • ONE WEEK UNTIL TIP-OFF !!
