I've wanted Alec Burks for a couple of years now.
DeWayne Dedmon has value as a third Center.
Kevin Love could fit perfect as the backup PF in that Danilo Gallinari role.

And all three could help with spacing the floor.

I would pick one these two for sure, in this order:

1st, Love: big, can rebound and hit 3s, and great FTs shooter

2nd, Gay: not played a lot, not a good season at 3pts but he was always good before so a bit strange, doesn't turn the ball over
He certainly still focus, having the best Net rating of UTA this season, and by far (+9.6, Markannen being second with +4.1), even if he played more against bench players, it says a lot in this case
Also a good FTs shooter

After that, maybe Ross but that's all.
Dedmon was horrible with MIA this season, too much of a gamble it would change here. Same for Barton with WAS

Love would be THE perfect buyout target, but I can't see a reason why Cleveland would buy him out.

I'd take Rose and cut Holiday.

Rose can be a interesting pick, but right now, in efficiency difference:
- ATL backcourt is 10th in the league at +3.6 (+0.7 at PG and +2.9 at SG)
- ATL frontcourt is 24th in the league at -6.1 (-1.3 at SF, -2.9 at PF and -1.9 at C)

So I would pick a big guy over a guard if there's a good one available.
That's right that I don't see why CLE would cut Love, but if they do, I would call him in a second

Here we go! We need to sign him, absolutely!

Kevin Love is finalizing a buyout with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Love, who was recently removed from the team's rotation, was currently in the final year of a 4-year, $120 million extension signed in 2018.

At this point, I'd offer him a starting role next to Capela...

This starting 5 would play almost no defense and have terrible advanced metrics...and they'd probably still have the same record as the Hawks do right now. :cry:

Except Love has not been good since the calender flipped to 2023. Doesn't he also have an injury of some kind.
Also, Tony is avoiding the Luxury Tax. Currently $1.6 mil under. $500k incentive for DJ for hitting 125 3s, he currently has 110.

Good for DJ. Happy for him!
