Basically, that Gasol to Cleveland for Waiters and Varejao trade he projected does nothing for the Cavs and goes completely against their team philosophy and youth movement, but he's wanted Pau outta L.A. for the longest so the longest so he's gonna suggest it for any team he refuses to take seriously. I'm a scorned Cleveland fan so I'm biased myself, but I'm allowed.
If Amar'e could walk and chew gum pain free, he'd be proposing Amar'e trades all day

The Rondo trade he proposed is pretty horrible too.

Rondo for McLemore, Vasquez, Patterson and Jimmer.

They have to be able to get something better than that.

In the ocean where the sharks be at
man, thats a lot to give up tho. two first rounders and 3 starters???

:manny: We'd be giving up a nikka that's washed, who stay gettin outplayed by his backup, a nikka in Europe who we dont know how his game will translate to the league a late 1st & Jimmy. Jimmy and the Cats pick would hurt only because their ceilings are unknown, but we know what we're getting wit Love. An elite, bonafide 2nd option.

Rose/Love/Noah & roleplayers would body nikkas for the next 10 years.

Zach Lowe musta gotten in Bill's ear because there isn't a bigger LARRY SANDERS! fan on Earth than that dude.

Must be, cause everyone they listed from the Cavs on up are better than the Bucks easily on paper. I'll be shocked if Jalen doesn't call him out on this, the Bucks starting five is :scusthov:

If the bulls want Kevin love they will have to give up a ton there is no way around that.

Only way out of that is to flip deng for a player on the block but hope a team Will give up a future 1st in that deal i.e deng to Orlando for afflalo and a future pick. Then you can package that pick with boozer, cats pick our pick rights to miritoc and give the wolves a package it will be hard to say no to. But you will def have to give a ton to make it happen.

It's quite easy for them to say no.

Think about it. They didn't go out and sign Brewer, Martin, Budinger, and Pekovic only to move Love now. They're all-in this year, and for a team that won 31 games practically injured, it would have to take a lot for them to throw in the towel this year (like some pathetic record at the break, like 20-30 at best type of shyt, and that won't happen without either everyone getting hurt again or Love playing like crap to the point where you wouldn't even want him).

They're not gonna attempt to try to start over. They're all-in on these next 2 years. They'd rather delay the inevitable than hasten it.
