Not sure I agree with your logic. IMO, if Varajo stays healthy, the Cavs don't get Shumpert and Smith and Moscov. So, their bench is basically no one. Love would've scored more but would not have played as well defensively as Thompson so that's basically a push. Thompson averaged double digit rebounds so Love's rebounding is a wash, too. Moscov is certainly a better offensive player than Varajo so that is a wash, also. Irving was the big (and, imo, only significant) loss to the Cavs. He's a great offensive players who is barely average on the defensive side. Pretty sure Steph and Klay have even better series without Delli and Shumpert in their grill. With your scenario, Cavs have even less bench so I don't think it's the cakewalk you make it out to be. When GS goes small, certainly Varajo and possibly Love are on the bench. Weaker defense, extremely thin, I think GS still is the better team.
