This is the expected guard rotation once the cuts are made to the current training camp roster. Maybe Kay Felder also makes the regular season team.

The guard rotation certainly doesn't lack depth but what talent or fit?

Even if we were to assume that LeBron James powers the Cavaliers to the Finals, after a competitive and tough series against the Boston Celtics, four of these six guards are still not helpful against the Golden State Warriors, who we assume to come out of the West.

Let's assume the Houston Rockets or the Oklahoma City Thunder make it to the Finals from the West. Against any team from the opposing conference, Cleveland is going to face taller, versatile two-way players. Although inexperienced, the Celtics could also pose a huge problem with their two-way versatile wing players.
