On Sustainability Awareness Night at the Q, the Cavs will get their first idea of whether or not their big man situation is sustainable. With the season (career?) ending ACL injury to backup paint patroller Chris “Birdman” Andersen, the Cavaliers are now about as thin at the five as they are at the one. Sure, they’ve got plenty of options given the small-ball lineups they can run with, and there’s still decent rotation of big bodies (TT, CFrye and KLove in a pinch) they can throw out there. Fortunately, they also have the NBA equivalent of a Swiss Army knife in LeBron James who can play the five just as well as the one (and everything in between), serving as the ultimate safety net.
