I think they would be better off losing Durant and keeping Green. So, I hope they don't do that.

He has been so durable for them. He always kills us. He deserves as much credit as anyone for their success However I bet his act has worn thin.
I would still stay they are better off with Durant if they had to choose. But he has been IMO the heart and sole of that team.

Still can't stand him .

I would rather trade for Hayward honestly.

After thinking about it off and on all weekend I agree with you. I think between the two forward spots, the SF is the more crucial one to upgrade. Of course either one needs to be cleared by the medical team so I am saying this based on Hayward being healthier than he was last year. The problem is Ainge would want more in return than I think Cleveland would. Collins would have to be involved at the very least.

Edit: never mind

We can’t realistically trade for him anymore with ET gone which is great. He’s a good player but locking up $100million per year to Dame, CJ and Love would be silly.

You're right. Much better to save money and just let this season be Dame's high water mark as a Blazer.

Technically if Neil really liked KLove then he would include Collins. That would for sure IMO get the deal done. Hark, Meyers, and Zach.
You resign Kanter and you have Skal (or Aminu) back up Love

NOT saying I would do it

you supply a constant flow of links to your stuff here bones.if someone liked your tweet enough I'm sure they'd post it......dan is a nice guy...he joined here and folks didn't like him linking stuff like his editorial content or youtube videos here...so he joined BE and got paid...perks..gets press passes...did his brand in impressive fashion...he and I disagreed about Mason Plumlee and in the end...I ate crow...he was right about Mason..nothing wrong with the dude in my view..he was always very, very easy to talk with. I think the forum was wrong to make him unwelcome here.
 
They've never been to specific in what would Cleveland want.

But a Love for Harkless + Meyers + Trent works juste fine.

Problems?

1. Our backcourt.

Dame / Simons
CJ /
Bazemore / Little
Love / Labissiere
Nurkic / Collins

2. Cap situation. Incoming salaries are 5.2 higher then outcoming. We will then have trouble having a potent backup SG. But in this case our team would be really good. Good enough to convice veterans to sign for cheap?

You traded Leonard and then have him listed on the depth chart. If we could do that and re-sign Hood somehow it's not bad I just really get worried about having Love at his age with that contract.

Fixed. Thanks. Skal as backup PF and Collins backup C.

It's a joke... Dont take things so seriously.
 
Also, I barely link my stuff. Probably 10% of it.
 
I would not trade Zach, but for cap purposes/example of what it would take to work financially:

Harkless
Leonard
Collins

Already been posted a few times, but, will repeat, Harkless, Leonard and either Trent or Skal works financially. Collins isn't needed to make the $ work.

I imagine I'll post this 2-4 more times in this thread for those who miss it and say what we'll have to include to make the $ work.
 
Trying to make the trade work.

We trade Harkless, Leonard and either Trent or Skal.

Cavs trade Love; injury prone, on the downhill side of his career, on a very bad contract with 4 years remaining.

How many unprotected first round picks do the Cavs need to add to make this trade work? I say at least 4, or no deal.

4???? How about 1?

The problem is Love's long injury history. Given his age timeline with his contract, the games lost to injuries will increase, not decrease.

How about this idea. Make the 4 picks, one for each season of his contract, conditional.

Every season Love plays 60 or more regular season games, and is healthy enough to play in all playoff games that season. The Cavs keep one pick.

Impossible. How can you define "healthy"? If he is rested one night, how does it count?

Simple.
Love is dressed, on the bench, and available to play.

I worded it that way to protect the Cavs. Without the protection. If Stotts keeps Love on the bench, dnpcd, for just one playoff game, it would cost the Cavs a first round pick.

They could list a fake injury just to get a pick though.

See your point, not sure how to prevent this? Any ideas?

My point is. Love is a good player, when he plays. The only way we make this trade is if he plays when we need him the most, the playoffs.

If Love does not play, it costs us much more than his lost production. We can not afford to gamble $30 million a year, for 4 years on a player that does not play in the playoffs. It would cripple the team.

We need some sort of protection to take on his huge contract, due to his yearly injuries. Or no deal.
