Cavaliers May Explore Trade for DeMarcus Cousins This Offseason

[Voice of Reason]

Still wont be enough.

If TT wasn't getting dominated all series and the bench could put up any points they could have won that series.

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

They'd be at $84 million if they let Jrue & Jordan walk, cap next year is $102 million and the list of FA PGs is looking a lil after you get past Curry, Paul, Lowry, Hill and Holiday who are all going to get the max. There's nothing on the FA market better than Holiday for that $18-20 million they'd have to spend, you could maybe sign Patty Mills foro $10-12 million a year and look at the SG/SFs but a lot of those guys are restricted and the ones that aren't are old or will get more than what the Pelicans can offer.

They'd be in a much better place if they didn't sign Solomon Hill, but bad GMs make bad moves, and I fully expect them to fukk the Cousins thing up and eventually drive Davis away.

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.

We don't know if it was a real fleece yet considering kings get to rebuild with potentially 6-8 lottery picks and draft picks with a good coach. Boogie didn't get the pelicans in to the playoffs and we don't even know if they will have a playoff roster yet. We also don't even know if boogie will stay yet

I think Boogie is a lock for Washington if they can't make a decent run, without the DPE the Pelicans can't really offer him much more than other teams.

I agree I think he would rather play in Boston or Washington with wall and beal

Yeah we'll have to see how it pans out. If I were them I'd see what it would take to get a 15-20 pick, resign holiday and grab a pure shooter with the MLE like morrow or someone along those lines then pray they all stay healthy.

That would've greatly helped the Cavs but haters on here putting all blame on KD. But Bron's defense was lackluster this series especially 4th qtr and he allowed KD to shoot that 3 dagger right in front of him....

True but he was gassed from carrying the team the whole game.


Depending on how much Kyrie progresses in general and as a playmaker in particular makes this trade talk moot. I think this current team could compete with a higher BBall IQ Irving and a bench that can actually score points.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

How much help does this nikka need?!

How much help did Curry need

 

[Jerz-2]

Is like to see how LeBron could coexist with a dominant center....

Why, so LeBron can dilute his effectiveness and make him change his game up like Bosh and Love?

LMAO at suddenly every player going to the Cavs, Lakers fans are like "nikka that's OUR yearly claim!"

If I were them, I'd pulling out all the stops -


Take one of the contracts between Crabbe or Harkless, preferably Harkless and the first rounder Portland is offering.
Resign Holiday and retain Crawford



I'd also look at guys like Troy Williams, Reggie Bullock and KJ McDaniels.

Probably offer Michael Beasley the vet min for 2 years as well.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Cavs really just need someone like Jamal Crawford/Lou Williams coming of the bench and a big man that can get some boards and they are set

 

[Kovu]

Curry not supposed to be the "GOAT" or "Chosen One"

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Those players are hard to find right now for some reason. Those games def went to shyt when Bron went to the bench, they def need a player with more offensive game than Livingston but just as consistent to compete.

DWill was stealing money in the finals

 

[Voice of Reason]

I don't know if the finances would work but, I would think about putting a deal together for Crawford and Jordan or maybe Crawford and Reddikk if you don't want to lose Love.
