    I guess Bill Simmons said CJ for Love would be an interesting trade. Someone on another forum mentioned Derozen is friends with Lillard, and if you could convince him to come here, that would be an interesting team next year.

    I don't believe we will have Cap space for two max free agent signings. We could do a max guy and 3/4 max guy though probably.

    true
    history says this isn't a destination that max players are willing to take a pay cut to join forces in

    but, you never know...

    Dame
    DeRozan
    Aminu
    Love
    Whiteside

    I'm not sure that would work under the cap. You'd have to max Whiteside and DeRozan. Love is making 20+ million per year, plus Dame's new deal kicks in. Between Whiteside, DeRozan, and Love, that's at least 60-70 million.

    If people are complaining about the Dame/CJ, why would Dame/DeRozan be any better? The argument against Dame/CJ is they both need the ball to be their most effective. That's DOUBLY true of DeRozan since he isn't a shooter - at least Dame/CJ can both play the catch/shoot role while the other dominates the ball. Paying MAX for DeRozan would be dumb.

    The only thing DeRozan has on CJ is FTA, but CJ sports a 3FG% that's 12% higher!

    People don't want to admit it but the big problem they have with CJ is not that he needs the ball to be effective (because that isn't anymore true than a lot of other NBA players) it is because they think he is too short (even though he isn't the same short guy that he was when drafted) to be a SG (so he must be a combo. he just has to be in their minds. it is nonsense but it is something you can say over and over again and they aren't going to change their stance).

    That isn't to say that size doesn't play a factor (especially on D) but let's remember these are two guys that improve in some area every year. They both know they need to improve on D and it isn't like they are giving up more points then they make themselves (so really the other team's guards must be horrible at D too right?).

    I was initially in that camp that thought he was too small. But I no longer feel that way. Rational people can change their opinions. :)

    My problem with CJ is that he's quiet,introverted, and standoffish. What a jerk!

    Let's say we land Love somehow, do we give him the "Skylar Grey" treatment? Lol

    Do you honestly think that after trading presumed superstar #1 pick Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love, they would proceed to deal him for Meyers Leonard less than two years later?
