Cavs became the Lakers i see. They getting everybody
Cavaliers May Explore Trade for DeMarcus Cousins This Offseason
- Thread starter Doobie Doo
- Start date
I think it would have to be a three team deal and a team involved that actually wants love lol. Not sure what squad wants love though tbh.

No bullshyt....adding Whistle and moving JR to the bench 
Might get em to 7 games against GSW. Would he be okay being #3 tho?

Love isn't the problem. They get damn near nothing from the 2 guard spot. JR isn't a starter IMO
Zero percent chance of this happening. And for some reason people keep writing Boogie off like it's a foregone conclusion that he won't stay in NO even though Boogie and AD haven't played more than half a season together. They're going to play well with each other next season and NO will put together a team around them and they will become a top 3 team in the West by 2019.
What evidence do we have of the current management and ownership of the pelicans can build a team around hen plus if holiday leaves they don't have cap space

fukk it, the NBA need to make a way for PG and Cousins to go to Cleveland for fukkery purposes. 
Find a way for CP3 to go there too

The Cavs haters just don't understand. GSW more than a superteam...they are an unbeatable invincible force in a playoff series...they took KD from OKC who really competed with them last year and one of the 2 threats they had in the West...then got a goon like Zaza who takes out the top player of the other team that poses a threat. Ain't no beating that team....no matter how many past their prime or washed up vets Bron and Griffin try to recruit.I don't think a NBA team was ever in a position those Cavs are in. You are guaranteed to make the Finals, but there you'll always take an L. What do you do
Still wont be enough.fukk it, the NBA need to make a way for PG and Cousins to go to Cleveland for fukkery purposes.

Boogie would never be a good fit on a LeBron led team. Ever. (plus he might whoop his ass in the locker room). With Bron and Kyrie, this nikka would NEVER get touches in the post. He'd be turned into a stretch 5. If NO did that deal, no matter what the Cavs offer, they would top the Kings for dumbass trade of the year.
The fact that they were able to fleece Sacramento for him in the first place is the first step.
They actually do have cap space. Cap goes up 8 mil or so this offseason, they can let go of jordan crawford, cunningham, and if holiday leaves they have close to 20 mil or so in cap that they can use and if they are willing to pay luxury tax to put together a contender then they can use the MLE also.
The Pelicans are in a terrible spot to be honest, they have to be good in order to retain Cousins who will be a FA at the end of next season. The biggest issue for them is that they don't have cap flexibility to really improve the roster, case in point they pretty much have to re-sign Jrue Holiday because they don't have the space to sign anyone else in his place, and if they do re-sign him that's there team until 2020 because of all the awful contracts they've handed out - Hill, Moore and Asik are making 1/3 of the cap until 2020. Next year Cousins will get 1/3 of the cap, so their roster that you see put together at the end of this summer will essentially be their team going forward unless they strike gold in the draft next year.
I could see why a Love for Cousins trade would be appealing, only if they could get another player like Shumpert added in because they need more talent anyway they can get it.
If Jrue doesnt resign they can still scrape together 20 mil to offer a player because of cap inflation. If Jrue does resign they can use the MLE to bring in one more player to add to that core group you mentioned. If they stay healthy I think itll be more than enough to keep cousins because thats a 5-8 seed team
