That seems like even stronger evidence for kidcolin, tho. That Lebron requires guys he's friends with to take up 2-4 roster spots at all times has been a problem since before he went to Miami, when you're very specifically gameplanning for a team that requires constant switching and recovery old guys are the worst.
One of the Cavs more effective offseason moves was getting DeAndre Liggins as a combo guard defender, he was good against the Warriors. They only have one of him, though, because they wasted a roster spot on James Jones and another on Birdman, guys with zero chance of ever contributing rotation minutes against GSW. They could've used those roster spots to audition younger guys on non-guaranteed contracts.
Now they are going to get another bite at the apple when buyout season hits, but 2 years ago they ****ed that up by signing Perkins instead of an NBA player, and they very well might do that again this year.
