The Cleveland Cavaliers were tied for the fifth-best record in the NBA during the regular season, but they failed to get out of the first round of the playoffs. The shocking five-game defeat at the hands of the Knicks left them searching for answers about their viability as a contender moving forward.
The Cavs’ massive question heading into the offseason revolves around Evan Mobley’s best position moving forward. Should he play the four or five? The answer has direct impact on Jarrett Allen and his future. If Mobley is viewed as more of a five to gain some valuable floor spacing and defensive versatility, it could force Cleveland to trade Allen to the highest bidder.
