This is going to take a while. The first few games could be misleading one way or the other. IMO, the real question is how IT fits with Kevin Love, who has thrived as the #2 option this year. Either Love or IT will have to accept being the #3 guy. If Love, he may revert back to previous form and disappear at crucial times. If IT, he could prove a serious liability on the court when he isn't scoring a lot. I can see the Cavs going to another level with IT or not improving much at all. Right now they can use a little shakeup to get out of their rut.
