Might as well get this rolling, but feel free to keep celebrating the title.

It should be a quiet offseason for the cavs. The dominoes will fall after KD makes up his mind. Also, apparently Cedi Osman has been looking good. Giannis believes he can be a really good player in the NBA.

I don't know much about Osman. We drafted him and stored him overseas, is that right? How does all of that usually work?

I don't really want any changes this year. Getting JR Smith back is the #1 priority and he's due for a big raise.

I'd like Delly back, indifferent on Mozgov, don't care really about any of the other bench players.

I'd answer calls for trades for Love but unless we get a great deal in exchange I'm for keeping him.

I don't want any major changes but I'd love to grab a few guys to come off the bench.

It'll be impossible to make a splash in free agency with our cap, but I am hoping we can get a guy or two to contribute.

How about a sign and trade with OKC with KD for Love?

Also Ekpe Udoh is wanting to make a comeback to the NBA. I'd kick the tires on him if I were the Cavs. Bring him in for a workout at least.

The crazy part is KD would fit absolutely perfect with Kyrie and lebron. I give it about a .0000001% chance of happening though

Cavs should at least pick up the phone and dial the fucking number.

Durant isn't leaving OKC.

Also, I don't think Durant is at the point in his career that he wants to shadow behind Lebron. That's also why I don't think he will go to GS either. He will re-sign with OKC on a 1+1 deal this year and then depending on how they do, he will either stay(at least NBA Finals appearance needed) or leave to go to the Spurs(assuming no Timmy).

I'm curious to see the vets the team decides to bring on at the Vet minimum as we should have a few roster spots open.

Who's even out there that would take a vets minimum?

Yep, as the biggest Love supporter on the board, there are maybe 5 players I'd trade Love for, on this team, and KD is one of them.

Damn only 5? I can think of way more:

KD
RW
AD
Curry
Klay
KAT
Cousins
Kawahi
LMA
PG
Drummond

This was only thinking about it for 3 sec.

Anthony Davis.

And I think Towns would be a better trade than anybody COA posted except possibly 3 or 4 players.

Wait, slingshot, you wouldn't trade Love for KAT? I'd do that in a heartbeat!

I mean, if I had a shitty team, and not this Cavs team then yes most of those guy would be nice, but for the Cavs, a lot of them would be terrible fits. I even said as much in my post, "on this team". I guess 5 wasn't me really thinking about it.

AD/PG/Butler/KAT/Kawhi/Durant/RW/Klay would be the only players I'd trade Love for, for this team, and have it make sense.

Sure I'd trade him for Curry, but you gonna put KI on the bench? Drummond was worked by Love and TT this playoffs, no thanks on him. LMA and Love are essentially the same player, and for the Cavs Love is the superior rebounder, we don't need his scoring most nights. Cousins is too big of a head case, and maybe LBJ could reel him in, but I don't see him buying in to team ball and giving up 8 shots a game with a fight.

I revised it up above, to 8, for this Cavs team.

In a vacuum I'd trade him for a lot more than the 8. I'm not THAT big of a love fan to think he's top 5-6 in the league was strictly naming players that would fit in this team.
