    It's spelled "lice."

    And I've been clean for years, thank you very much.

    So if the rumors are true and the Cavs might want to move Mozgov as well as Love, I would consider taking both off their hands. Mozgov offers the rim protection we would need. Some of you don't like Plumlee, but I think he has a lot of value for the right team. (Teams who appreciate a passing big man) If Cleveland want to save money and get some talent, how about Vonleh, Plumlee, and Aminu for Love and Mozgov? Some will laugh that it is not close to be enough, but remember the salary cap savings and the potential of Vonleh. Of course others will laugh that it is too much.

    That would leave us a 10 man rotation of:

    Dame, CJ,
    CJ, Crabbe, Henderson
    Harkless, Crabbe, Henderson
    Love, Davis, Leonard
    Mozgov, Davis, Leonard

    Others: Kaman, Frazier, Montero, Pat C, Alexander

    You forgot about Meyers. He would have to be somewhere, either there or here.

    It's Schrodinger's Trade - until it's made you don't know where he ends up!

    You beat me by a few seconds. I realized it just after I posted it. Yes it would be a 10 man rotation with Leonard.

    I know you have to give up something to get something but if Leonard was in and Vonleh out then I do the deal. Otherwise I pass (and yes I understand that this sounds homerish - probably is!).

    I'm on your side. Send Plumlee, Meyers, and Aminu. Sounds good.

    He would be fine as the 3rd team Center and PF.
    Harkless would have to cover Stretch 4's as well as playing SF. We would need to address that depth issue this summer.

    Trust me that would be my preference as well. But if we pay 20 mil per for Love, Vonleh would not be getting many minutes anyways. I just think Vonleh would be an easier sell.

    Then let's just sell them Meyers too, along with Vonleh. We can take Jared Cunningham off their hands as compensation.

    Love would quickly become a fan favorite in Portland.

    Not with his back and shoulder issues.

    Dellavedova is the Cav to target.

    Have we traded Meyers yet? Or at least sent him on "vacation".

    Why would we do that? He's helping us tank.

    Because we would suck more without his floor spacing. If you want to tank right, you have to make the hard decisions. I mean, he can't do anything on the floor well except that, so we can cut him loose and take that aspect out. Easy peasy!

    Watching Lamarcus last night gave me a new found appreciation for Meyers, Ed, Mason, Noah and all the good guys. Love is an interesting question...there's no doubt he is an asset to any team that needs scoring but I like the focus on defense at the power forward slot. I'm really happy to have our focus change into a rebounding defender at the 4
