Well, we have many traditions here with the over-unders pod. One of which is we usually do the East second because House's division with the Washington Wizards is usually the last division.
They're usually the last pick. It's like a little cherry on the sundae, House. It's very nice.
We do your team last. We get to end with Washington. I always leave feeling good. No matter what the pick is, I leave feeling good about it.
We're going to start with the Central, where the Cleveland Cavaliers are at an over-under of 56 and a half. They won 64 games last year. They lost Ty Jerome. They lost Isaac Okoro. They gained Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance and Thomas Bryant. And they are our first title-related second-apron test case, Zach Lowe. a true contender with zero outs. This is their roster. They can't really make trades.
They can't improve it. They can't even get buyout, guys. This is who they are. Even if Charlotte's like, hey, we'd love to give you LaMelo Ball and three first round picks for Darius Garland. the Cavs would have to say, we can't. We are trapped under a giant second apron. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
When a contender has a disappointing playoff loss and then can't make any moves and actually has to run it back.
