Another reason to dislike LeBron

I like the trade. A lot. Plus minus when LBJ wasn’t on the floor during the finals was absurd. Need someone else who can carry a team. If they pull that trade off, the Cavs offseasons is just getting started. Expect them to deal Love ,JR and Korver for another star and most likely a defense first 3PT specialist like Andre Roberson or Danny Green. Cap room relief would allow them a lot more flexibility next off season when LBJ bails on them or the ability to resign George.
I still think Love could be dealt to the Celtics for a number of guys. I could see a Love, JR, Korver and draft picks for a Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley/Marcus Smart too.
Cavs learned they need to get more athletic to be able to compete with GSW. Putting 3 or 4 guys that are 6’8 on the floor all at once could accomplish that.

@Kcmatt7 Oooh. Good trade here. Covington, Okafor, Justin Anderson and Stauskas for Love.
Philly starting lineup:
- Fultz
- Henderson (Hopefully B-Mac instead)
- Simmons
- Love
- Embiid
Makes both teams much better. Covington gives Cavs great D. Okafor gives them some actual offense down low and a solid pick and roll guy. Anderson is good D off the bench. And Stauskas might be able to actually hit a 3 if he is as open as LBJ and PG would get him.

They could easily throw Love in to sweeten the pot for PG, but only if Thadeus Young comes with PG and Hill.
-
Kryie, J.R., 2 First Round Picks and Love for Gobert, PG, GH and Thadeus Young.
Sweeten the Pot with Korver or Shumpert?
Cavs Starting Lineup:
- GH
- LBJ
- PG
- TY
- Gobert
I just expect the Cavs to land PG and another really long defensive player. I kind of expect the finals this year to be the best O ever vs. The best D ever.
If they can land another 6’8 wing, how do you score against CLE?
-
@Kcmatt7 Really just keep coming back to this Celtics trade. If Hayward spurns the Celtics, they would be willing to make that trade I think.
Clippers sounds good too…
Love and JR for Deandre Jordan and Mbah a Moute.
- GH
- Mbah
- LBJ
- PG
- DJ
That D is sick. Pick and roll LBJ and DJ. Jeeeeeeze
-
Why not build around Kyrie? LBJ and Love for PG and DJ in 3 way trade. Then get athletic 3 and D for first rounder.
- Kyrie
- JR
- Green / Roberson
- PG
- DJ
:trollface:

So help me out here, as I’m not an NBA guy. Meaning my knowledge is low.
Does this say LeBron has a problem with KI?
-
It just means that anytime LeBron is involved, everyone around him is dispensible, just another asset, even the other stars. I have no idea if he has a personality problem with him.
-
@approxinfinity Well that blew up in my face… Who knew you could get PG for a bag of smashed crackers?
Also, I’m confident LBJ has a no trade clause. He has CLE by the balls and will use them as he pleases…
And CLE should be greatful. Is he not the reason they won their first championship?
