Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

[Mecca]

Yeah, I would if they can find the right deal. They won't get back a player of his caliber, but if they can get back a couple versatile wings, I'd do it.

Bradley and Crowder....bang.

Flips quarter to @shopson67 .

It's a problem for the Cavs.
You are trading a perceived max player for a mid/upper tier player who is benefitting from the new TV deal.

That's not the only option. You can trade him for someone who was already under contract before last off-season.

Bottom line, if trading Kevin Love is the goal, its much better to have his contract be favorable than unfavorable.

Anyway, the money isn't really the main issue for the Cavs, cap space is. As long as you can find salaries that match close enough, who cares.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I agree. Feels similar.

So... does that mean we can count on the Warriors being a first round exit next year?

If it makes you sleep better at night.
Barring injury we're seeing the same result next year.
It just is what it is.

For instance, whom?
I think Love has been exposed.
He's a nice player.
He isn't a max player.

 

[Mecca]

@CitySushi knows, this is just the beginning.

He might not be an Allstar.

But, the kid is already fearless, a good defender, with an improving shot.

I'm so happy the Warriors stole him from the Clippers.

If the Celtics add Gallo or Hayward, take Fultz....

Bradley and Crowder would be expendable.

Would work for both teams.

Ps. I don't know if he's a sf or sg.

But, Brown is gonna be a stud.

Again it is hard. Watching "The Jump" right now.

They were taking about adding Paul George. Talent wise it gets them closer, but then you are talking about adding a 3rd ball dominate player alongside LeBron and Kyrie. It could have diminishing returns. Vince Carter said he did not think it would work. I tend to agree.

I think they need a player more in the mold of Klay Thompson or Kris Middleton along with a couple more pieces. Just not sure who that guys is. I don't think it is Love. The trade that @gordontrue proposed is growing on me a bit, just not sure what they need to do.

I agree, but why on earth would the Celts make a move to help improve the Cavs?

 

[Wamu]

To piss you off?

 

[Black Adam]

I think the folks who refuse to budge on Jordan, me included, said we would reluctantly admit he is in the conversation if he beat this Warriors team.

He didn't.

So, he isn't.

so nanny, nanny, billy goats...

 

[Mecca]

There is that....lol

I also would not want a soft ass frontcourt of Love and Horford.

It would be a non-stop parade of Dudes walking straight to the rim, unopposed.

Ibaka is a better fit.

But, Love for Melo is never off the table.

Unless he's over his career long selfish phase, it makes the Cavs worse because he's ball dominant too.

 

[tlance]

Gallo.

Honestly I have not watched Gallo play enough. Does he defend well? Always thought the knock on him was defense.

 

[Wamu]

Gallo.

Which one, Ernest & Julio?

Don't you ever say the frontcourt of Love & Horford again. Damn that has an awful ring to it.

 

[Black Adam]

try that one out, TJ...

How best to phrase it....

 

[Black Adam]

gotta love this about the Wiggster. this clown will NEVER admit he's wrong even in the face of overwhelming evidence...

with HIS attitude he'll be the ultimate board clown for YEARS to come...

For instance, the one I threw out earlier .

Batum, MKG, & Marvin Williams for Love, Shumpert, & Frye. Works salary wise.
