    I agree he's probably not the player he used to be but he's a baller for sure that can board, shoot & pass. If you good get him for VM and let him come off the bench?

    I would be fine with Love on a vet minimum deal where he is not in the regular rotation, because he can't be counted on to be healthy.

    Was Griffin in a competitive situation this season? They lost in the second round.

    If he gets bought out and wants to come to Portland on a vet minimum off the bench, anyone that says no is probably just your run of the mill hater.

    So far this morning..
    “If Kevin love is bought out the warriors will put on the full court press to add him”
    “If Kevin love is bought out he will be a top target for the nets”

    but he’s not good enough to come here I guess

    I will say that these Olympics could be huge for the Cavs. If Love plays, and plays well, he could theoretically restore some of his trade value, and maybe save them from having to buy him out to get rid of them.

    He's clearly burned out on the Cavs...he's not going to build that kind of trade value with them...too late...he actually quit playing in a game for them..I think he'll end up in Portland no matter how much the media wants him in GS but it'll be on a buyout...his contract is toxic but he's an elite rebounder and passer...his passing is as good as it gets in the NBA...

    Their chances are certainly, no better than the Blazers. But Nat'l Media thinks once Klay comes back, all's well. Coming off injury ain't easy. Just ask a younger Nurk. He hasn't been close to the player he was before the big injury. Now 2 years removed, new coaching, commitment to craft? Maybe we see Nurk, the Bosnian Beast return. Fingers crossed.

    I think an acquisition of Love and Larry Nance Jr. could be interesting. We would probably want to move to a 1-4 switching defense with Lillard/Powell/Covington/Nance. Love could be a featured option on the second unit and pick n pop partner for Dame in certain situations. CJ/Jones for Love/Nance works, but I think CLE would like cap relief for Love (so they can sign Sexton). Maybe CJ to NY, Jones to CLE, Love/Nance Jr./Quickley/Robinson to Portland.

    Lillard/Simons
    Powell/Quickley
    Covington/Little
    Nance/Love
    Nurkic/Robinson

    Here's the problem. I don't think this would be enough to make Dame happy. Neil needs to hit a home run. This would really be like a double.

    In that scenario, if Love is healthy, he starts over Nance.

    the ONLY way I'd be remotely OK with Love is if he's a vet min addition after a buyout. I don't want to trade anything for him.

    He could be like Melo for us next season.
