Let's talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that predictably last season pushed the minutes of their starters down. That's what Kenny Atkinson does. I didn't expect them to be as good as they were, and now the team comes back relatively unchanged. But a few little things we need to talk about Michael Bolton. Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the locked-on fantasy basketball podcast. Let's get to it. Let's get to it.

We are here to talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers, so we might as well just get into

that part of it right now.

To talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers, I'm joined by the host of the Locked-on Cavs podcast.

Danny Cunningham is back with me for another year to talk about this Cleveland team,

which I mentioned in the intro, it's relatively stable from a rotation perspective. The coach was new last season. We know the Kenny Atkinson style. We know this team. I'm pretty sure we're going to know what the starting lineup is. I don't expect there's any change in that versus what we've seen the last couple of seasons. But I guess there are a couple of little things that are going to be important in this when we talk about this squad and where we're at, Danny.

October 22nd for the Cavs. I'd be surprised if he's out there. I'd be surprised if he's on opening night, obviously the season begins up to October 22nd for the
