What does that mean?David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz said he heard from his sources that the Blazers didn't knock on the doors of Love before getting Whiteside. Take it for what it's worth.

no, i mean, "knocking doors." Like, didn't make a trade offer?Probably nothing, but maybe not nothing.
I just laughed very loud at this!!!Is this a story about a brothel?

Ya I just don't see how Love and Whiteside are related.Who knows. It was a brief quip in a podcast. News is slow in August.

Good. Fuck that contract.
That's crazy. You can dislike Love for his contract, injury history, suspect defense, and possibly even fit with the Blazers (although I'd dispute that) but he's unquestionably a better player than either of those two.I consider Love an inferior player to both Whiteside or Bazemore.

We would have needed to move Leonard and harkless to match his $$in a trade?Ya I just don't see how Love and Whiteside are related.

I'd rather get LMA back from the Spurs than take on Love's contract. Whiteside's salary this year is almost exactly matches Aldridge's $25M, but LMA has one more year on his deal after this one. I think Popovic could see the chance at re-signing a younger Whiteside as a better move than probably losing LMA in free agency in a couple of years. Once Nurk gets back, I could see this trade as a likely prospect.
Is Neil listening?CJ's next podcast episode guest: Kevin Love.

1 Trade Every Contender Should Make to Go All-In
Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Kevin Love
Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: Hassan Whiteside, Zach Collins
The Cavs won't deal Kevin Love without getting back a combination of young players and draft picks, Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor reported. Given his age (31 in September), injury history (most recently a toe ailment that necessitated surgery and wiped out three-plus months of last season) and colossal contract (four years, $120.4 million), that's an egregiously high asking price.
In fact, five different executives told The Athletic's Sam Vecenie they wouldn't do a Love deal if Cleveland didn't provide some kind of sweetener (salary relief, draft pick, etc.).
The Cavs need a desperate team, not to meet their preferred rate (no one will), but simply to provide something valuable in return. The Blazers might be that team.
They're at or nearing now-or-never time with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum at their peak. They're also limited in ways of adding help since their financial books have been bloated the past few years.
Love would lock Portland into its core, but if it sees championship potential, that wouldn't be a problem. Maybe it's a reach, but a glass-half-full projection is that Love would liven up an already elite offense as a multitalented screener, a floor-spacer, an outlet passer and a slithery post scorer. That could give Portland the NBA's highest-scoring trio and enough offense to shoot its way through any series.
"If you put a playmaking screen-setter who can shoot next to Dame and CJ, that's a problem," ESPN's Zach Lowe said on Woj and Lowe (via Tim Brown of the Oregonian). "... I would like to see that a lot."
If Cleveland is honest with itself, it should pounce on this swap.
Once Hassan Whiteside is trade-eligible, his salary would be needed to make the money work. But it's also expiring, meaning the Cavs would have a clean escape from Love's big deal.
Portland could put any one of its assets into play—Zach Collins, Anfernee Simons, Nassir Little or a future pick—but Collins might be its preference. With Love and Jusuf Nurkic locked into starting frontcourt spots, Collins, the 10th pick in 2017, would need a change of address to spread his wings.
