A lot of how one views the outlook of this Cavs team...

...depends on how much you trust players like Porter, Tomlin, Tyson, Thomas, to play real minutes for a team with championship aspirations.

Tyson already progressively grew into a becoming a full time rotation player last season. His responsibilities are likely to increase further regardless of the next moves made this off-season.

I expect Dennis to be moved. One of Porter or Proctor is going to be the backup quasi PG...I say that because one of Mitchell or Harden will be on the floor with them.

I think the Cavs will look to shore up the forward situation but Tomlin earned himself a standard contract last season. He's an interesting talent that is growing into himself as a player but is still a bit rough around the edges.

If you trust the young developmental Cavs to be championship level rotation guys, then you're not going to be pessimistic about this squad going into this season. If one doesn't trust these guys then you'll be looking at this team as one that's top heavy. Where do you all land on the question of whether these guys represent quality depth around the starting core?
