Who do the Cavaliers get for next year?

[OregonDucks]

Maybe cavs need to focus on keeping LeBron for next year. After this, and seeing how difficult it is to beat the Warriors with the current Cavs roster, LeBron may leave.

Cleveland should see if they can trade Kevin Love and get back Andrew Wiggins and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot in return. They'd be significantly better.

Imo, the Cavs need a rim protector. In game 1, their strategy appeared to be to chase the Warriors off of the 3 point line, which worked to an extent.

The problem was, it left the Warriors with lanes to the basket, which they took advantage of and the Cavs didn't really have anyone to protect the rim. TT is a good defender, but he's not exactly a guy who is going to stop teams from attacking the basket.

Cute won't win many games against a very complete team like GS.
I think they need somebody to matchup with Green or Thompson on defense and offense.
Other than Jimmy Butler, I don't see anybody else with that capability who might be available.

I don't know, but the Warriors are in dire need of an upgrade at the 5. They should see about bringing in Blake Griffin.

Also, they should target Gordon Hayward & JJ Reddick to shore up their bench.

They likely won't have the cap space for more than one move, if that.
Clearly they're pretty damn set now.

cans can't really add anyone to improve their roster money wise. They're just gonna have to hope and Pray San Antonio upgrades with a chance to take GS Out next year.. But if SA upgrades they probably soundly beat the cavs like the Warriors.

Cavs boxed themselves into a corner overpaying role players. Its why Lebron will take off to collude in NY or Chicago or Toronto now. Because the Cavs aren't getting by the Warriors or Spurs again

Sports radio talk is already discussing the 2018 FA and where Lebron will go next. Cavs have so much payroll through 2019 and are so over the lux tax that nothing is possible without losing a major piece to gain a major piece. In 2018 so many players are becoming FAs. Westbrook, George and LBJ. But to where?

Maybe this trade (which would never happen) could help the Cavs out. Tristan to S.A., Aldridge to N.O. & Boogie to Cleveland.

Westbrook to the Cavs would be awesome

At this point, every superstar should try to join the Cavs, cause if a title is important to them, there is no reason to sign anywhere else, of course assuming GS cant add more superstars

 

[OregonDucks]

LeBron is looking at the Warriors and thinking, "That's what I wanted in Miami"

Naw, dog. Warriors are bringing in Anthony Davis. Then they can compete.

Spurs

Spurs

Fair, Leonard is awesome, Pop is awesome, just think they need a lot more to get on the GS level

If you managed your million upon million dollar salary correctly and responsibly over the course of your career, then I don't see why you wouldn't join Cleveland or GS at a bare minimum contract to get your ring if you are a star studded player without a ring.

Like get rid of Aldridge and get younger.

Thats a start, Aldridge is talented, but gutless, that guy will never play on a championship level

Agreed I'm just saying if I'm a star who wants a ring I can go there too, not just Cleveland. When healthy they are better than Cleveland generally

 

[shopson67]

They should try to get someone like Crowder, but I don't know what they would have to offer the Celtics other than Love. Bradley/Crowder/Olynyk for Love, and maybe add a rotational rim defender elsewhere?

 

[shopson67]

PJ Tucker could be a Cavs target if the Celtics don't bite.

 

[OregonDucks]

I hope when the Cavaliers get their 4th All-Star to try and make things even, the Warriors go out there and get their 5th All-Star just to one up LeBron.
