Losing Love for nothing would be actually insane.

The only caviat is that Andrew Wiggins doesn't look like a sure fire stud and while Bennett has improved, it's not drastic.

I'm still pissed that Embiid got hurt. It's an interesting "what if" to wonder if the Cavs would have kept Embiid instead of trading for Love if he never broke his leg

Chris Bosh > Kevin Love

You know Bosh has been underrated, even back when we signed Amare, no question imo stat was better at the time and probably the 2 years following but Bosh has been a top 3/4 PF his entire career, not many can defer and completely change their offensive game to adjust to 2 superstars

I feel like the Love angle was a huge deal maker for LeBron.  Obviously I don't know for sure, but it must have been.  Do you think they don't pull the trigger if they draft Embiid instead?  
 
If Cavs are unsure if Love will stay, they should really consider moving him for good, young role players/picks.  LeBron/Kyrie with elite role players (bigs who can screen and roll would be a start) can win a championship with good coaching.
 
Tough spot for the Cavs.  It's weird, I honestly thought they would be awesome off the bat.  On paper it all looked like a fit.

 

[travesy3]

For example:  Ross+Patterson (maybe best 3 shooting big in the NBA)+Bruno (prospect) +fillers+Raps pick this year + Knicks pick for Love should at least make them think about it if they're not sure about him staying.  Not sure that deal makes the Raps better, but those are the types of players I think the Cavaliers need.  Not sure they can get them with their non-Love assets.  Idk maybe that's a shit offer and I'm biased as a Raps fan but those are the types of players the Cavs just don't have.

 

[Pugz]

they should trade love for greg monroe.

srsly

no thanks

The Cavaliers will figure everything out in due time. Worry when it's March or April if this shit is still going on

 

[elcheato]

Kevin Love isn't gonna leave

 

[RipCity32]

Dion and Tristan for GMoe and Jerebko imo.

Dion and Tristan for GMoe and Jerebko imo.

not a bad deal for cleveland, but it doesn't help their lack of interior defense at all

 

[Pugz]

not a bad deal for cleveland, but it doesn't help their lack of interior defense at all

and most people would jot want dion here.

 

[The Young One]

The issues with that team won't magically get fixed. They need a rim protector and start mike miller in the at the 2 guard in 2014. Oh yeah and LeBron is in chill mode.

 

[bosoxlover12]

A good deal (imo) would be
 
Cleveland gets:
G A.Bradley
C B.Wright
 
Indiana gets: 
G D.Waiters
F J.Young
 
[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]Boston gets: [/SIZE]
C B.Haywood
F L.Scola
2015 MEM 1st (via CLE)
2016 IND 1st (protected)

[The Young One]

I'm waiting for the common person to pick up on his life story story so we can get a blind side pt 2 movie.
