    Signing the assistant coach multi-year means a continuation of the system with adjustments. Lue already had major input, so Blatt's system is half Lue's.

    The players might respect Lue more, but Love will still have a big problem.

    On paper, Stotts seems like a perfect coach for Love's game. Would be an interesting tweak to the roster. They need expiring contracts. Kaman and Henderson would play in Cleveland and help them in the playoffs..they need size and a combo guard

    Fucking a, is lebron the worst "gm" in the league or what?

    If they would have kept Wiggins he would be an enormous trade chip right now.

    Idiocy.

    No, they need good players on good contracts. They won't be under the cap for years, and saving $10M on the cap realistically saves them $20M ish

    Moving Love gives them salary relief..boosting the holes on their bench on the cheap seems to be a good move for the playoff run. I'm sayin' I wouldn't trade a CJ for Love but if they could get him for a handful of older players and a young project..I'd be tempted to bite

    The Cavs would be crazy to give up all that for 7th man types.

    The Cavs would be the real looser in that deal.

    Crabbe is perfect for Cleveland. He'd get Shumperts minutes but he can also play backup 3. He's that 3 and D guy they've been trying to get. Anderson isnt a 7th man, he's a legit starter. Only a slight downgrade from Love. Plus Leonard gives them even more spacing for Lebron and Kyrie.

    If I'm Cleveland I'd try to get Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson straight up for Love

    The other part in that Cavs trade is they'd save $23M in cap (which results in around savings around $30M from reducing luxery tax.

    You would give anything for Love, but you wouldn't give that....
