I misread your earlier post. I thought you meant that you wouldn't put Love on the table, meaning very likely the Cavs don't acquire PG.

What I was saying was that if the Cavs stick with what they have, lose again in the Finals, that there's a good chance LBJ would bolt. If what I'm reading now is saying the Cavs have a Big Four (with Love), yeah....both LBJ & PG would be dumb to leave.

Another thing that could be interesting is if bosh is cleared to play. He got bought out from the heat and if he's cleared to play he could easily fill loves spot at minimum cost of love was involved in the PG trade. Personally I'm taking the gamble of trading love for pg if we absolutely have to.

lol fair. If Lebron/PG left a roster with Kyrie and Love it would be the most idiotic move in FA history.

Even if he's cleared to play, taking on Bosh is dicey, at best. Having a player potentially drop dead on you in the middle of a game is a bad look. I'm not sure that he even could be cleared, with any certainty.

As fans, many of us have the "win at all costs" (unless it involves cheering for the TheRapist or Killer Ray Lewis) mentality where I'm doubtful the Cavs, or many organizations, would want the albatross of signing a player with a health risk, that you probably never know whether he's clear or not, only for him to potentially die during a game.

They could probably get Bosh for a vet minimum too but I doubt the Cavs would be crazy enough to take that risk.

Yeah, but spin zone:

If he dies, the players will be extra motivated and dedicate their season to winning for Bosh.

Probasketballdraft‏ @Probballdraft 3h3 hours ago Hearing if Cavs-Pacers talks go well 76ers could be included as a 3rd team & possible landing spot for Love if IND prefer picks & prospects

Probasketballdraft‏ @Probballdraft 3h3 hours ago
Heard before the draft 76ers wanted to add shooters and a veteran to young core and were willing to trade for it. Fultz and Love are that.

You can check my history (called the exact kevin love trade including the amount of picks going to Min) to determine for yourself if you think I have #sources but my #sources told me this morning that we are definitely discussing a trade with Indiana, and that we will be sending Klove as part of the deal, but also getting more than just PG back (could be a 3-team). I will try to nail down specifics, tomorrow.

I really think they are trying to get George with out giving up love. Obviously TT would be in the deal but I'm definitely ok with that

Here's a question. If TT was paid what we all feel he is worth, are you that quick to get rid of him? Does that fact that he is incredibly overpaid make you want him out of here more? B/c I love TT.

If we trade Love give me Butler. If not, give me PG.


If Griffin pulls PG off without giving up love, just go ahead and build his statue.

I don't think there's a chance in hell we get PG or Butler without giving up Love.

Let's be realistic here fellas..
