$49M get passed around.. Cavs get a Sexton replacement. Love goes to LA to play with Lebron again for a couple of years.
K Love has been playing well this year so I don't think even CLE would do it.
They absolutely would not do it. Not a snowball's chance in hell.
This is the problem with Westbrook. He is a chemistry killer on a winning team, and he is potential floor raiser on a tanking team, which costs lottery balls. Nobody wants him.
The only team that might consider taking him is a team that secretly needs to tank for more lotto picks, but doesn't want to tell their fans. Perhaps New York fits this description? They need a PG with Rose out 8 weeks, and they have Fournier's bad salary that they wouldn't mind jettisoning. The problem is, it would still require a 4-for-1 deal. The Knicks wouldn't mind including Kemba with Fournier, but I don't know who else they'd include to get them up to Westbrook's cap number. Burks has been too good to just give away as filler.
