Mexi do you actually think they should do it? I might be the only one on that bandwagon

love just can't stay healthy and i just feel if they want to compete, they night have to do it

It's one of the trickiest trades ever for me

One problem with Melo on the Cavs would be not having a long enough trial and error phase to become acquainted with each other.
LeBron's been through that building phase with other star players twice now and it never worked from the get go. 

 

[Mexi]

Melo would be ready to spot up and give up some glory to win imo
Took love and bosh time cause they werent ready

But i see melo as ready

So the Cavs trade a guy who has already become accustomed to a heavy spot up role, for a guy who has never done it, and is actually a worse shooter than the guy he'd be replacing.
 
Seems smart

it's gotten pretty funny at this point. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

The only reason to trade away Kevin Love is to get someone with a comparable offensive game but a significant defensive upgrade
 
That's not Melo

 

[elcheato]

the only reason to trade kevin love is to break my heart

Disagreed. He's played with both LeBron and Irving with USA basketball over the years. I dont think it'd be a problem at all.

who starts when love is out for the season?

Korver and Bron to the 4?
Frye? Jefferson and bron to 4?
Derrick williams?

I think that's a different beast altogether. There was so much talent on team USA that there wasn't a real hierarchy and nobody really cared about individual stats or fame over like a 7 game stretch. 
Substitute Angola with the Wizards in a game 7 and Melo is probably gonna think differently about being a spot up shooter.

I mean you can't just speculate about injuries. You know whose knee could require surgery if you look at it the wrong way? Melo's.

1. Disagree

2. Agree

I don't think Melo goes to the cavs trying to be the same player he is on the Knicks. He knows it's not his team.
