Kevin Love - Possible?

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

I don't see a great deal between the two teams popping up but I would trade for him before Blake Griffin.

Blake is the better player (when healthy) but that contract and injury issues are scary.
 
I think the stars are aligning for a deal between us and Cleveland.... not sure exact packages but I think something could develop.
 
Main pieces:

Love to Portland
DeAndre to Cleveland
? to Los Angeles

Turner, Vonleh and Caleb (and Meyers secretly dressed up as a draft pick).

Don't need to include Caleb actually, but they could do draft picks. Maybe the Bkn pick to the Clippers and throw in a 2nd rounder too.

Hollingers stats say this negatively effects the Cavs and Clippers but Portland remains the same.
 
They are somewhat decent this year so the pick will probably outside the top 7 and its coming from Cleveland. Maybe just their pick instead. We probably have to do Davis and moe to make contracts work plus the Cleveland pick
 
And now find a way to deal CJ/Collins/pick for Kawhi and we're cookin (not that I think they'd take it.)

Dame
Kawhi
Love
Nurk

That would be a team that could compete with Golden State.

You must be confident if you think they could compete with the Warriors going 4 on 5.
 
Did Love have teammate issues in Minny?

I was surprised to see Crowder who has only been a teammate for 3 months look at Love & walk on by.

I'm really interested to know why he seems to be so isolated

Well, he comes from a long line of pompous ass clowns, so it's not really a surprise.
 
Than how about this?
Griffin to POR
Aminu, Jordan, 2018 POR 1st to CLE
Love to 4th Team
BKN Pick, 2020 POR 1st, 4th Team 1st/Young Pieces to LAC
the BKN is probably worth more then Jordan by itself.
 
You aren’t getting a player of Love or Jordan’s caliber without giving up CJ and picks and other players.
Lmao. Cousins? George? (Oladipos value wasn't that high). Melo??
 
I just don't Cleveand gets nearly enough for Love and the BKN pick in that.
Yeah idk. Aminu holds value to them and moving down 5 to 10 spots in the draft to flip Love for DJ and Aminu might be worth it. They badly need defense.

The alternative would be (Using ??? for unknown team)
CLE Gets: Jordan, Aminu
??? Gets: Love
LAC Gets: '18 CLE 1st, '18 & '20 POR 1sts, ??? 1st, Filler from ??? (More Picks or young players?
POR Gets: Griffin

One team that could want Love is Indiana. So maybe something like this?

With LAC getting the following 1st Round Picks:
2018+2020 POR (Maybe 2022?)
2018 IND (maybe 2020 IND?)
2018 CLE

Maybe CLE is willing to swap the BKN pick to LAC for one of those lesser picks if they get Lou Williams as well? They'd send out JR Smith most likely.

Either way:
Pacers
would get a star to help them compete in playoffs. Thad Young is a great piece off the bench.
Clippers start their rebuild off with TJ Leaf and a ton of 1sts (5-7 if they trade Lou somewhere else, or 4-6 with one being top 10 [BKN])
Cavaliers get better, especially on defense by swapping Love for DJ and Aminu, all for the price of a late 1st. Possibly get even better by swapping JR for Lou Williams.
Blazers get that 3rd star, and gets much better by swapping out two guys who don't play as well as Aminu for Griffin. They give up a couple 1sts but they finally have a legitimate core of Dame+Griffin+CJ+Nurk+Collins (and maybe Rodney Hood if we traded Vonleh and Napier for him).
 
Davis/Turner/1st Rounder
For Love

Napier/Vonleh/Leonard/2nd Rounder For Hood/Rubio

Both Trades Work(for us)

Nurk/Collins
Love/Amino
Hood/Hark
CJ/Pat
Dame/Rubio

Gets IT/Crowder/Turner back together:) and CLE needs defense.

Trade CJ and Love to SAS for Leonard and filler in offseason if it doesn’t work out.
 
The Cavs want to contend for the championship. They don't want to waste the last year or few years of LeBron's ability.

I don't see them trading one of their big 3 for lesser pieces or draft picks. They're going to want at least an all-star or near all-star caliber player in return for Love.
 
You aren’t getting a player of Love or Jordan’s caliber without giving up CJ and picks and other players.
I know you like to be so even-keeled that you lean the opposite way when it comes to our players but actually, you aren't getting a player of CJ's caliber without giving up Love and a pick or other players. Same for Jordan.
