We have to also think about next season's treadmill run. KG is going to retire and I'm all about done with Mirza after that brickfest he had against Chicago. I've never seen a professional with that many open looks clang shots like that.

Jefferson was just sent down to the D League so he won't be getting any NBA minutes any time soon.

I agree that we should be looking for a Lopez taker soon. I'm still on board with trying to get Stephenson for Lopez, and who knows with Big Al going down for 4 weeks at least.

Also I would be REALLY inquiring about Love with Cleveland. Things don't seem to be meshing there and they seem like they need a solid center now with Varejao out for the year. And maybe Blatt would be on board with the idea of also getting rid of Waiters and getting two Eruo studs in return with Bogs and Tele.

King should be going full court press right now for Love and Waiters in return for Lopez, Bogs, Tele, and maybe even through in Anderson just to get rid of his @$$ lol.

Next year is the big one... i cant really see us missing the playoffs this year, especially with Hollins doing such a masterful job and not catering to anyone.

but next year, with no KG and if lopez is still here that could legit be a season we miss the playoffs.

if we can move brook for a PF on a 2 year deal we have to make that move

I'd be on board to get kevin love.... but if cleveland needs a center why in the world would they trade for one who just got benched and cant stay healthy. the last thing they need after varajao is a guy they cant count on to be in the lineup, especially if they trade love.

I'm sure cleveland would get 75 cents on the dollar for love right now, but they sure as hell can do alot better then brook lopez.

to get love they would need to get plumlee... and we would likely need to send salary to a third team to make it work as well.

I have a hard time fathoming Cleveland really trading for Lopez and giving up Love to do so. Even with as disappointing as Love has been for them, he's still worth more than Lopez. I'm just hoping that we can get a few more offensive outbursts from Brook like that consistently so we can sell high.

Although I'd take Love in a heartbeat, 2016 space be damned.

love is the type of guy you would want to spend cap space in 2016 on anyway.
