Don't move anyone, Love isn't worth what the asking price will be, especially since Cleveland wont be able to lure old vets with the promise of lowered state income tax and warm weather.

That's kinda what I'm saying he wouldn't push for Love at Tristan's expense. I just worded it poorly.
I'm a believer in Love having empty stats...The cavs do need to sign someone before we either max out Irving or move him.
He wouldn't push for Tristan, but he'd probably tell em Waiters, Wiggins and Bennett are all fair game, and that's too much for Love.
I wouldn't say he's empty stats, but his lack of impact on defense is just
He'd be really good on teams with defensive 5s or multiple defenders on the floor to cover up for him, but with the Cavs not having a center and needing to give up several of their young players to get him, I don't see the point.He wouldn't push for Tristan, but he'd probably tell em Waiters, Wiggins and Bennett are all fair game, and that's too much for Love.

Yeah I mis spoke but his 26pt 15rb is like an emptyn 26/15 because the hell give up 18-28 depending on who he plays.
Yeah, he's fukking awful defensively -
That's the percentage opponents shoot at the rim when he's in the game, basically he has the same kind of impact defending the paint as a wing player.

As a Cavs fan I'm just so damn thrilled...walking on cloud 9 all day. Still can't believe we got Wiggins . We were a team that were only 4 games out the playoffs and would have made it if we didn't waste time with the Bynum experiment. Perfect tank season

Could you imagine how depressing it would have been if we had ended up with like the 9th pick in the draft and had taken someone like Doug McDermott? Now we are headed into next season with an amazing young corps (Irving, Waiters, Wiggins) and a head coach that everyone in the league is praising. I have a lot of faith in the Blatt/Griffin tandem and think they can really stabilize the franchise.
Going forward, it is clear that the center position is going to be a huge hole. I know that next year's draft is loaded with big men, but hopefully we will win some games and won't be picking very high. Ideally we would find a shot blocking rim protector. Maybe those extra first round picks from Memphis and Miami will come in handy one day.
I forgot what this guy looked like before Kansas.
Oh My Damns.
Unleash this man Blatt. UNLEASH HIM.
I am still going to regret not trading down and picking up another asset with Embiid...Since we were almost a playoff team last season and have cap space I figured we could of waited for Joel to come along slowly and still been In the running for 7-8 in the playoffs.
I also was a fan of Parker as well but I'm happy with the Wiggins pick..Embiid was my number 1 prospect but wiggins and Parker were tied.
Now who are we going to bring in as a free agent,

Kyrie will do so much for this guy. He had a trash PG at Kansas. He'll do fine his first year but once he gets used to the NBA he'll be a problem.
They will have around 13 mill these guys could be options but I'd probally resign Hawes and keep varajoe they are set at PF we need A SF and a Sg.
Hawes is going to want to much to stay with the Cavs. We need interior defense over anything else right now and he does not fit the bill.
I expect them to get one via trade and not free agency.
My guess as to who is the likeliest to be moved:
Anderson Varejao (he'd only be moved if it bettered the team tremendously. He's a fan favorite. We can't depend on him for 30 plus minutes a night for 82 games anymore. Would have value on a contender.)
Jarrett Jack (obvious reasons. He duplicates what Irving and Waiters does. Was probably only signed because they fear Kyrie getting injured frequently. Waiters could easily play PG in spots were needed. He's also got the longest contract on our books. He like Andy would be ideal for a contender. I'd fukking love to have Livingston back.)
Tristan Thompson ( Trist just does not fit what we need. He's supposed to be our best interior defender but he can't block shots at a high rate. He can't shoot it consistently. He is an abysmal passer and just overall clumsy with the ball in his hands. He has to gather himself to jump. And he's going to want a Favors like extension this summer.)
I honestly think the only reason he is still around is to keep the line of communcation open with Rich Paul and they are waiting to see how Bennett pans out this year.
