The problem is that since it is the beginning of the year, it’s possible that
Rubio could miss all of next season too depending on how his
rehab goes. It’s almost similar to Kawhi’s situation. He will be rehabbing
through the entire year, and the earliest he could return to the court would
be around the all star game.

On the bright side, Cleveland allegedly is back into trade talks with the Sixers.
The rumor is that Cleveland could offer Sexton/Lauri/Okoro and 2 first rounders for Ben Simmons.

If that does go down, that could possibly make Cleveland a true threat in
the EC

Allen/Mobley/Cedi/Garland/Simmons.
