    I believe they could do a sign and trade and still obtain the rights to Wesley and Robin.

    I'll pass, I like the athletic team Olshey is building instead of slow players who are beat up and injured.

    It's LeBron... It'll work that way lol

    But seriously the Cavs are an interesting situation. I think Love is gonna sign there.

    Yeah, but he can't wait until they use the cap space before choosing to do so. He's a cap hold.

    A good majority of Cleveland fans would hate him more than Osama if he left again. Could you imagine Dan Gilvert's second traitor letter?

    There's (Christ Traeger voice) literally no way LBJ leaves Cleveland now. Although Olshey managed to land a top-five NBA player in Chris Paul, he's not going to land the best player in the league.

    But we do need a multi-talented player, because we've sure stocked up on role players.

    Dear Lord no to Hibbert! Plumlee is more of the prototype new era center.

    Middleton should be a huge target for us.

    Is he worth max? Literally the only chance you get him. They match up to at least 12 MIL a year imo. I would rather go after Demarre Carroll who is unrestricted and can be had for 11 MIL a year imo.

    I'd go full max for Middleton. Which would be what? 4/62? Ain't that big after the cap jump and he is really young.

    I just put everyone who suggested trading for Hibbert on ignore. And I put everyone who suggested trading Vonleh for Hibbert on DOUBLE ignore. j/k - no new additions to my list. But seriously, that's deep "stupid" territory. I wouldn't even trade Kaman for Hibbert - Kaman is more valuable because he'll increase the rate at which Meyers and Vonleh become better players.
    We need to use our cap space on a SF before thinking about adding anymore front court players.

    The plus size to obtaining Hibbert on the cheap (say kaman) is that If it doesn't work out, he is expiring and still a shot blocker. You can trade that and get value back of some kind.

    Kaman for Hibbert wouldn't work.
