You know the roster is in bad shape when one of the main story lines after game
1 is how 32 year old JR Smith should be getting more minutes.

Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade might be the two best examples of guards you don't want on your team in today's NBA. And Cleveland is currently starting both of them, and they both took more shots than Kevin Love last night. Wade is 36 and DONE. Kyle Korver is 36 and DONE. Iman Shumpert is more valuable to the opposing team when he plays. Derrick Rose is apparently healthy enough that he can get into the lane for a bad shot on any possession he wants...since that is exactly what the defense would like him to do.

Cleveland is going to have to move that Nets draft pick they acquired in the Kyrie trade or they won't just get swept in the Finals, they won't stay within 15 in any of the games. Getting IT back will obviously be a huge upgrade over Rose. But they'll need LeBron + Love + Crowder + IT + another key piece if they want any shot this year.
