2 second round picks

Dallas in:

Portland loads up for the wild western conference for a better chance at contention giving up 2 firsts and collins. This makes their defence worse, but their offense substantially better, and love probably pairs better alongside nurkic than whiteside would once nurkic comes back.

Cavs get two young prospects in jackson and collins and the more favorable of the two first round picks most likely.

OKC offloads two coveted veterans in return for expirings and more picks.

Dallas gets adams for THJ, jackson, and 2 seconds, mavs probably do this 10/10, solidifies their front court fairly substially.

Portland doesn't want Love. OKC isn't trading Adams for 2nds. Gallo to Portland for exps and a 1st or Little works.

This post perfectly explains Portland's position on this deal. And with the brevity of a scholar. Good day sir.

[Brandon-Clyde]

Portland says no pretty easily. The trade would leave Portland with only Gallo and Love(assuming neither gets injured) to man the pf and center positions(terrible defensively). Love's contract also probably puts Portland in the tax next season making them pay on the repeaters tax. Furthermore I like Collin's potential and would not really want to give him up in a trade for a soon to be UFA and an injury prone and overpaid pf

[Revenged25]

Cleveland doesn't want to trade Love, though at least this probably the best return for Love yet.

Not to mention the contract of Love would necessitate that Portland doesn't resign Gallo, and at this point in their respective careers I would much rather have Danilo on my team than Love.

[ThunderBolt]

I’ll take a first round pick and Bazemore from Portland for Gallo. I don’t want the rest of that trash.

Not really. We're eating THjr which wipes out Jackson and then some IMO. That's a negative value return.

I know this board is irrationally high on Collins, but the reality is he's half way through his rookie contract and he's averaging under 6 points and 4 rebound per game. It's not a matter of him not getting minutes either. His advanced numbers don't jump out. If he doesn't make a big jump this year, he'll be viewed as a role player off the bench and not a terribly valuable one. The 2022 pick is the best asset in this package. If I've got to take back THjr and give up Love to get it, I'd probably pass.

[JRoy]

Easy no for Portland.

Portland needs an upgrade at forward, preferably 2
Way players.

This looks like a panic move and an overpay for two overpaid, injury prone, offense only guys.

I like both players and maybe a deal could be worked out for one but this is not close.

[expatbayern]

Oof. Are Portland trying to set a record for points allowed or something? Whiteside, Bazemore, and Collins might be the only three plus defenders on the team, and here they're traded away to bring in two guys who are so bad on defense they only provide positive on-court value if they're getting enough shots to put up 20+ ppg (which neither one will come close to playing with Lillard and McCollum)?

Without hyperbole I think if you dropped Collins and the picks that Whiteside/Bazemore for Love/Gallo would still make Portland worse on-court (the value would of course be great, but the fit is out and out catastrophic).

[Stillwater]

Collins and JJ are not worth eating THJ
close but not with Love also on the way out.
It's just another undervaluing of Love and now an over valuing of Collins

[Soulyss]

This is pretty horrific for Portland.

[Myth]

Definite no from Portland.

I'd also like to add a side note to Cavs fans of the future that this was another Love to Portland trade that was not proposed by Portland fans.

Prediction: Portland trades for Love at the deadline after he stays healthy and puts up 22 and 10.

That's a good question because there isn't really anything on Portland that Cleveland would want, nothing against Collins and Little, unless those two took a step forward/had a good rookie start, but at that case why does Portland make the trade? Cleveland doesn't need cap space so a Whiteside contract doesn't make sense, CJ is part of Portland's core and Cleveland wants to replicate it with their own talent, there just isn't a trade here. Maybe if Nurkic is back healthy and someone wants the large expiring of Whiteside for whatever reason a 3rd team coudl be found, but that's unlikely still.

Collins and Little would be a very good return for Love. I don't see Portland doing that. I mean, that fills the two biggest rebuild holes for the Cavs, a high potential forward and center.

I think Cleveland fans expect a Blake Griffin type return for Love and that simply isn't something that fans of the other 29 teams are going to agree on. There is a canyon between what the majority of CLE fans expect on this website in return for Love, and what the fans of the rest of the league see his value at.

Its really not worth posting any Love trades on this board. Its just not productive really. Better to sit it out and wait to see which side is right when he is dealt.

Collins has shown nothing but being a rotational player, we have that already, and Little is a rookie so we need to see what he has. How does either of them help Cleveland compared to what Love provides to Cleveland? Love will give the young players to rely on when they are struggling, his production will put them in more competitive games help spur along their development, and he's a good lockerroom guy to mentor them. All Collins and Little would provide is a guy that peopel have been talking about his potential for 4 years but hasn't taken the next step and a rookie that although is at a spot we are thin at, has questions with his 3pt shooting ability which Beilein is known to prioritize a lot in his offenses at Michigan.

The problem is that Love has so much value to what he does to help young players develop that no team is going to want to pay what his value to Cleveland is. Cleveland went through an attempted rebuild once before without any quality veterans before and a lot of losing, it was going very badly until LeBron came back and changed up the culture of the team to focusing on winning. WIth the young talent on the team right now, I would prefer Cleveland just missing the playoffs and the young guys putting put to the fire and finding out if they are goign to get burnt or rise above it so we can continue to develop a winning team.

I have so many responses that I'm going to keep to myself and simply say: And this is why Broncos said "Its really not worth posting any Love trades on this board."
