Kevin Love anyone?

[scratched]

What can we offer?

Whatever you're smoking over there, pass that poo man.

[scratched]

I'm sure we have nothing to offer, but can't a man dream?

 

[davos]

We can offer him the best of luck in Boston or Portland.  

 

[FuFuLamePoo]

After we sigh our rookies we can offer him right at $0

[Omega Atrocity]

MLE, good luck with that

You can never have too many PFs.

 

This is good for Cleveland IMO.  I like Thompson's hustle and two way game at his contract better than what Love will get.

 

But, this sucks also for Cleveland since they traded away a star in the making to bring in Love.

Also, we should ask for Boston's first and Gerald Wallace for them to clear space in a Love sweepstakes.

Thonpson-Mozgov wouldn't be a successful backcourt for 82 games. For LeBron to be most effective the 4 man should be a shooter as well, to open up the lane. Also, Thompson's D isn't that good (he's average) it's just better than Love's atrocious D.

I would take Thompson at his contract over the contract that Love is going to command.  That is all.  I do think Love plays better with Lebron than does Thompson, I'm just considering the financial implications.

Thompson declined a $13 million per contract. He is going to get paid by someone.

I'm not sure Kevin Love would come here, but if he did, would pairing him and Al Jefferson be a good fit for one another? 

For me, if he leaves Cleveland I think the Celtics or Lakers could be the landing spot for him. Imagine if the Lakers pull off a trade for Demarcus Cousins (eg #2 and Randle for DMC) and Love signs for them. Suddenly they have Clarkson, Kobe, Love, and Cousins as 4/5ths of their starting line up. All they'd need is to find a SF and their starting line up could be pretty competitive next season if they stay healthy.

Are the guys not already up against the limit? Adding crashs 8 mill would unleash the tax nazis. It would add further insult to missing the playoff too.

yes.  I'm playing in fantasy land back when we had cap space. 

 

Instead we've now get 3 guys with 10+ mil salaries and not a single all star.
