Don't give K Love the Max!!! Let him walk, sign D Wade and look to add a PF.. Get rid of Mike miller and James Jones..

Dupp · Post #3 » by **Dupp** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 7:34 am

James Jones actually played better than he did all year in the finals, he s what he is.

My opinions are bring EVERYONE back. Love(max) ,J.R, shump, TT, Delly, everyone. Miller , perkins i dont care about just the guys that can play a good role.

Then we see what we do with haywood and whatever other means we have to add depth.

Work on a team offense that heavily features Love and Kyrie as focal points, Especially Love. We need to try win but also prolong lebrons career. Plus team offense >>>>

We have the roster we just need to keep it together.

Cavs Want LeBron To Express Opinions On Roster Decisions

Post #5 » by **B Mac** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 1:40 pm

Here are guys I would keep an eye on:

Realistic:
Jamaal Crawford
Mike Dunleavey
Mo Williams
Norris Cole
Tyson Chandler

I honestly wouldn't be overly surprised with a huge move either. Carmelo and DWade definitely come to mind here.

LeBron has been recruiting, and will continue to do so. This team should be absolutely stacked next year.

LeBron's next recruit will be none other than Toronto's DeMar DeRozan, particularly if Smith opts out.

My guess is, since you guys have to pay up for Thompson, and with how effective Thompson & Mozgov were together, Kevin Love is on the way out (I think he'll pick up his option though).

So, some sort of trade centered around DeRozan for Love, I think is possible.

Raptors are looking to make changes as well with how they finished the playoffs.

Just a thought.

I think people are over estimating how much flexibility the Cavs will have. They really only have a couple of decisions to make: (1) How much do you pay to retain TT, Shump, Delly and possibly JR (if that fool opts out); (2) whether to spend the extra money on a role player or two by using Haywood's contract. They're going to be over the apron unless they don't offer Love a contract (and that's not an option IMO). I don't think they can use the MLE. Marion is retiring. Miller, J. Jones, and Perkins should retire but Miller is under contract so he'll take his money for being the ugliest cheerleader in the Q. They have vet minimum cap space and their draft pick.

We'd be idiots to end up with melo and not love.

Rather moz than chandler and id rather kill myself than have Crawford on this team.

Deandre Jordan or Marc Gasol.

If David Blatt is let go for a more experienced head coach, what are the potential options?

Relocating the team. Which is what should be done if we fire Blatt.

As if there were many. Blatt needed time (and probably still needs) to get used to this league but he's got more experience and bball IQ than majority of other coaches in this league. You got to be blind not to see what he's done with this team.

So there are a ton of rumors about D Wade and opting out... What if he doesn't opt out, but instead picks up his option and then tells the Heat to trade him. More specifically he says trade me to the Cavs.

Just saying...

lebryant · Post #14 » by **lebryant** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 2:08 pm

With all due respect to DWade, I don't think he'd be a good fit for this team. Unless he improves his jump shot ofc

Letting Love who is 26, walk to sign Wade who is 33, is a Billy King move. Love is getting a max offer from the Cavs. Deal with it already.

There's a better chance that David Blatt taps out than is fired. Blatt was hired to coach a young team into a unit. What he got was a year long soap opera, microscopic press coverage, unbridled egos, and public undermining from his star player. Tyronn Lue would be his replacement is he wants to leave. I suspect having won every type of Championship other than an NBA championship, Blatt will suffer through one more year of coaching three superstars though.

I would say no. I would offer Love a max deal and dare LBJ to announce he's leaving after proclaiming that he'll finish his career here. A Wade/Kyrie back court would be disaster pants defensively. We'd have to trade Love to a third team in order to get Riley the assets he would need to trade Wade to Cleveland (and you better believe that Riley would only heed that request if the offer was too good to turn down). We would have effectively traded Wiggins for a 33 year old Wade on bad knees. We just had a Finals series where two of our stars, and most of cap space, was wearing street clothes on the bench. If Wade wants to come play on MLE, he can come. But the Heat are right. Wade's not worth the cap space he's asking for.

Dupp · Post #18 » by **Dupp** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 8:19 pm

Yeah what exactly would we be trading for wade and how much would we be paying him? Seems like a terrible move.

Dupp · Post #19 » by **Dupp** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 8:59 pm

Man imagine if we got wade at the expense of love.

Irving/Wade/Lebron/TT/Moz

That's league worst spacing there. Good luck to lebron trying to ever scoring in the paint and see you later any hopes at a title.

Post #20 » by **B Mac** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 2:03 am

Guys.. We wouldn't be giving up Love for Wade.
