Hassan Whiteside? Or other options

[shadrock]

What do you guys think about signing Whiteside in the offseason? He will probably be commanding a contract of around 20mil per year, maybe a bit more. But he is an absolute rebound/block/defensive machine.

We could trade Vuc and replace his offense with someone like Ryan Anderson. Also, wouldn't mind trading Tobias Harris either. I think essentially swapping out our lineup of Tobias/Vuc for Whiteside/Rhino fits our team much better.

Our top 6 would look something like this:

C- Hassan Whiteside
PF- Ryan Anderson
SF- Aaron Gordon
SG- Mario Hezonja
PG- Elfrid Peyton

6th man- Oladipo

Plus that's not even including what we could get in return in trades for Harris/Vuc.... But something that fits our core of Peyton/Hezonja/Gordon much better would be great.

I think if Gordon continues to develop his jumpshot/range, this lineup could be killer.

I like the idea of having a legit stretch 4 on this team. Unfortunately, Frye just aint cutting it right now. I wonder whether the Cavs would consider a package for Love built around Vucevic? Would a Love/AG pairing work?

If the Cavs are going to trade Love it's going to be in the off-season. Tyronn Lue has said numerous times that he's going to use Love better, and likes what he brings to the table. I don't see them trading him. And according to reports, multiple teams are asking about Frye, unfortunately for us - that doesn't mean much.

Whiteside and Durant to the Warriors makes:

Curry/Thompson/Durant/Green/Whiteside

Could this team, if healthy go 82-0? It is a real question to me.

No to Whiteside.

If you're looking for a stretch 4 big to put next to Vucevic, we should be pursuing Serge Ibaka in 2017. He's literally the perfect fit and there's still the chance that OKC could lose him if either Westbrook or Durant bolts.

(a guy can dream)

I think we try and move on from Vuc (not just dump him for garbage, but be patient) and try and go get Ezeli for the stopgap.

I also think Brandon Jennings is the best fit at PG for this team. He'll be cheaper AND younger than Conley, and has a good relationship with Skiles.

I like the prospect of the Whiteside + Anderson frontcourt.

He is going to demand too much for us. I rather save our money and sign the players we already have. We need to lock up Dipo this offseason then next season is AG and Elfrids turn. We cant let our young guys walk after all the work that has been put into them. Dipo, AG, Elfrid and Hezonja all need to be locked up. Who knows the kind of money they will demand at the time. Cant let them go.
