    This might be one of the only times I ever agree with and appreciate Quick chiming in with his opinion.

    I would. They are both a wash defensively and Klove is a better, shooter, passer, and dribbler.

    I'd rather keep our 3 picks and go with the rookies.

    The question was whether or not we'd rather have Love instead of TT. I picked Love. Personally, I don't want either of them.

    He's a MUCH better rebounder than TT too.

    Yes, but how are you going to get either player? Meyers/ET/Crabbe without picks? Hahaha

    If CLE goes after PG13 we are in position to facilitate as a 3rd team.

    FWIW, I don't want him back.

    His shot selection was among the worst possible shots in the game, and he took them in volume. He also wouldn't play C, which makes him look like a prima donna. For a guy his size, he was mostly a weak rebounder (most of his career). He was a fine defender; not sure how he is these days.

    It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but I'd rather see us try for someone else. Someone like Nurk, who we got for cheap and looks like he's going to be awesome, and he's young.

    A consolidation trade isn't a bad idea, don't get me wrong. Package up 2-3 guys and some picks for equivalent salary in one player who's a big upgrade for us at SF or PF.

    Dviss calls him "Texas Turncoat" or "TT" for short.

    That is a possibility. In doing so we would be helping CLE and they may be willing to take any combo of Meyers/ET/Crabbe without us surrendering a pick. I'd be down with that.

    My name for the one who shall not be named.

    The Texas Turncoat. TTT? TT sounds better. It's actually my niece's nickname.
