Responding to both of you with the comment below:
Definitely great that the Cavs kept their 3 best players (Garland, Mobley, Allen). I also agree that the Cav's new lineup is good but it's weird to see 2 ball-dominant guards in the same starting line. I'd actually be interested to see one (probably D Mitchell) coming off the bench as the 6th man, although I know it won't happen.
I guess it's an interesting move to me because both Garland/Mitchell are small guards. I haven't seen enough of Garland to know how good he is defensively but I can't remember Mitchell being a good defensive player (albeit small sample size).
