Still LOL at Cavs fans thinking a Love for PG trade is what Indy needs/wants. Cleveland got zero assets to trade. They sold their souls to be runner up 2 out of 3 years and now have no pieces to move. You think Indy wants Love and a 2021 pick? You think Boston wants Love playing along side Horford so Cavs can get PG, while having to give up high draft picks to make it happen? Cavs fans delusional. You got nothing anyone wants. Blame your LeGM for that.

You know that I know I'm not talking about anything that has a chance of hell in happening. :yeshrug:


Just what it would take to actually get a competitive advantage next year. :mjcry:


Now, if we get to the stage where we start predicting what trade will happen, you know I already own your ass. :mjgrin:

Exactly. There is no reason for the Lakers to trade for him when they get him a year later for nothing. Plus with him they still not beating warriors, Spurs or even rockets.
Why not wait a year ? The fan base seems ok with the young stars and the direction

Exactly. I would love to see the young players get another year to grow and spread their wings to learn who they are as players. Having a star can stunt that development this early on. I'm cool with the Lakers staying pat and on George for one more year.

Yeah, you've exactly nailed the issue. Cavs need two-way players, not 1-dimensional guys.

My all-in solution is to use Love to get Butler and Kyrie to get PG13, and force them to throw Teague in there too (maybe giving up Shump and JR in the trades as well). That leaves you with:

Teague
Butler
PG13
Lebron
TT

That's a starting lineup that could compete. PG13 as a 2nd option, Butler as a 3rd option, Teague as a 4th option....that's plenty of firepower for a contender. And on defense they'd be lights-out, able to guard anything and switch everyone (except big centers).


Ask for Rondo too in the Bulls trade, and you have:

Rondo
Felder or Liggins
Korver
Frye or Derrick Williams
Tavares

Which is a much more balanced 2nd unit than they had this year, because you have someone who can actually run an offense for the shooters without Lebron on the floor, along with enough defenders to not fall apart on that end. Put Frye at center with Korver and Felder in for an offense-heavy lineup, or Liggins/D-Will in at the same time for a defense-heavy lineup, or any balance you want.
