I get the salaries match up nicely but why else does the media keep suggesting Portland would do a CJ for Love swap? We would have a bigger hole at guard after that trade than we do at forward without it and the talent acquired isn’t a significant enough upgrade to justify that. I even read one suggestion saying Portland should give up CJ and Nurk for Love. We are a total after thought in the eyes of the media, are players don’t even hold the value for us that they would for other teams, it’s pretty laughable.

Porzingis is worth significantly more than Love. And we saw what the market price for him is. That makes Love worth one first round pick and filler.

Assuming you can't get AD for a good deal, and you could get Love for something like that, wouldn't it be worth a shot? The passing alone would be amazing. Assuming Love could refind his outside shot, that would be a pretty tough combo to defend

Lillard
CJ
Aminu? Harkless? Layman
Love
Nurkic

And you might be able to nurse Love's minutes to keep him healthy.

Exactly. Cleveland should take anything they can to get out of that contract. They are trying to go young (At least they should be) and Portland can offer ending contracts after next season. They should beg Portland for Meyers and ET and a draft pick. Of course if someone else can offer ending contracts for this season...then that would trump our offer.

Can’t believe people would want Love at this point. That contract and his injuries and level of play yikes

If you could get him cheaply, you don't think he would improve this team?

Not sure if I've ever seen a -20 win trade machine result.

I can't stand when people value the wins barometer in the trade machine. I saw someone post a trade machine trade the other day where they basically traded the Pistons bad players for the Warriors stars and it still said -3 wins for the Pistons getting Curry, Durant, and Thompson.

The draymon green factor
 
He wants to play with Dame
 
Would much rather have a Roco/Love/Nurk starting front court over Powell/Roco/Nurk
