150 million in 3 years! 127 million in 3 years! The shortest double gun in the NBA has been underestimated, and 15-man teams have made a big streak to the championship
9:06pm, 28 September 2025【Basketball】
NBA new season training camp is about to begin, and the well-known US media ratings 30 teams in the league. Among them, there are only 4 teams in the first championship favorites, namely the Russian Thunder, the Denver Nuggets, the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Thunder are the defending champions, spending 800 million US dollars in the offseason, and failing to win the championship; the Nuggets, Knicks and Cavaliers are also armed to the teeth and shoulder the mission of encircling and suppressing the Thunder! Especially the Cavaliers, who paid an expensive tuition fee last season and were questioned for spending money to be beaten. Only by getting up from the place where they fell can they win respect again.
Cavaliers were eliminated in shame, and made a comeback
Last season, the Cavaliers' experience was comparable to a roller coaster. They made heavy punches in the regular season and were incredible. They were timid in the playoffs and were dull. During the regular season, the Cavaliers achieved a record of 64 wins and 18 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Mitchell, Garland and Mobley Jr. joined hands to be selected as the All-Star lineup, Atkinson was elected as the best coach of the year, and Mobley Jr. also won DPOY. In the playoffs, the Cavaliers swept the Heat 4-0 in the first round, but were swept by the Pacers 1-4 in the playoffs! The Cavaliers' shameful elimination is caused by many reasons, such as Garland and others being injured, such as Atkinson's lack of on-the-spot command and dispatch, and far underestimating the opponent.
This year's offseason, the Cavaliers made up small fusses and made up small moves, with constant gains and losses. First, the Cavaliers selected Barn Heize with the No. 44 draw in the draft and Proctor with the No. 49 draw. Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers and the Bulls completed the deal, sent Ocorro away, and introduced Ball Ball. Subsequently, Jerome of the Cavaliers was poached by the Grizzlies with a three-year, $28 million contract. Finally, the Cavaliers gave Merrill a four-year, $38 million contract, and signed a one-year, $3.6 million veteran's basic salary contract for Nans. In general, the Cavaliers believe that this core lineup team deserves a comeback!
3 USD 150 million and 127 million USD 3 years. The shortest double-gun in the NBA is underestimated. The Cavaliers have double-tower Mitchell + Allen inside, and double-gun Mitchell + Garland outside. The lineup is thick enough. This configuration is indeed suitable for achieving results in the long regular season. But then again, the Cavaliers' lower limit is very high, and what really determines the team's playoff ceiling is the outside double gun! Last season, Mitchell and Garland were both All-Stars, but when they arrived at the playoff stage, the shortcomings of this pair of double-gun combination were infinitely magnified. Take Mitchell as an example. He has the league's top scoring explosive power, but he relies too much on three-point shooting. It is difficult for him to affect the progress of the series like James, Curry, Durant, and Jokic when the team is in a desperate situation. Take Garland as an example. His health risks have always existed, and his ability to fight tough battles is seriously insufficient. He can only be defined as a regular season star for the time being.
More importantly, Mitchell and Garland are both 1.85 meters tall. They are also known as the shortest double-gun in the NBA today. The first backcourt defense line they built is easily broken through. This is the key to the Cavaliers being easily targeted in the playoff series. Among the top 100 players in the new season selected by ESPN, Mitchell ranked only 15th, and Garland ranked only 38th, even worse than Mobley Jr. (13th). There is no doubt that Mitchell and Garland, the shortest pair of NBA guns, have been underestimated, but then again, they have to withstand questioning and underestimation before they succeed. This is the only way for a star to a superstar! Mitchell has 3 years and 150 million US dollars left in the contract, and Garland has 3 years and 127 million US dollars left in the contract. It is reasonable and profitable. They should also show a performance that matches their value and crushes the doubts from the outside world. The Eastern Conference pattern has quietly changed drastically, and the 15-man team has made a big victory in the championship
The Cavaliers' 15-man roster is released, as follows: back line - Mitchell + Garland + Ball + Merrill + Craig Porter + Proctor, forward line - Hunter + Struce + Jaylen Tyson + Trevors (two-way contract) + Tomlin (two-way contract), inside line - Mobri + Allen + Nance Jr. Overall, compared with last season, the Cavaliers' lineup strength and depth have been steadily improved, and their ability to resist injuries is stronger. The Cavaliers' lineup has a salary of up to US$226 million, a luxury tax of up to US$148 million, and a total expenditure of up to US$374 million in the new season. Winning the championship is the only goal and the only way out!
What is beneficial to the Cavaliers is that the pattern in the East has quietly changed drastically: the Celtics leader Tatum and the Pacers' top star Halliburton have a ruptured Achilles tendon, the 76ers leader Embiid and the second leader George have no return schedule so far, the Bucks leader Antetokounmpo is isolated and helpless like a trapped beast, only the Knicks can compete with the Cavaliers in lineup talent and depth, which means that the Cavaliers have an excellent opportunity to break out of the East to compete for the championship! Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come. I hope the Cavaliers can know their shame and become brave and fight for the championship! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
