Can a championship contender be built around Donovan Mitchell? Hey, Chris!

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands and beat reporter Chris Fedor analyze the Cleveland Cavaliers' readiness for the upcoming NBA playoffs. The discussion centers on whether Donovan Mitchell possesses the physical profile and two-way capabilities to be the primary option on a championship-winning team. The guys evaluate head coach Kenny Atkinson's lineup adjustments amid a heavily injury-riddled season, as well as the team's offensive stagnation against switch-heavy defenses. Additionally, they identify the Cavaliers' most fatal flaw — a severe inability to defend the 3-point line — and speculate on potential playoff matchups, seedings, and the likelihood of the team strategically resting core players in the final games of the regular season.
