I don't see the logic in that. Isn't he a 4?

They specifically would trade for him to deal with Draymond Green when they go small.

Wouldn't have to sacrifice either shooting/defense like they would when they go small with TT/Love.

My thing is Blatt had yet to try LeBron at the 5 in that scenario....he could handle him. I just think the Cavs would then be lacking rebounding and someone to screen for LeBron on offense.

That would make sense for the TPE, he'd be close enough to his brother that they'd probably get a cottage together and split the distance :russ:

This would basically be a slap in the face to Love though, are they still holding out hope on a wing being available, or have they settled on Delly & Mo?

It's a slap in the face to Love but they've given him ample opportunity to show some growth as a post/rim defender and he's physically incapable.

Irving has improved as a perimeter defender. It's about looking in the mirror and knowing you've got to do better. Love just doesn't move his feet quick enough on help defense.


He can be mad about it all he wants but if he wants to win it all he's got to be better or the Cavs need to plug the hole with someone who can defend, rebound, set screens, and space the floor.

It's a situational need that would only apply to GSW.

A line up of Irving, Delly, Shump, LBJ, Morris could be an incredibly good small ball line up. Is that better than GSW's tho?

Love is really :ld: dude is shooting 43% on the season and 40% over his last 10 game, so the lack of defense is made even worse by those numbers. If he were shooting around 46% it would be a different story and you could live with the :scust: defense.


What about Terrence Jones? He's another guy that could be on the move.

Yeah Love was great to start the season and has remained excellent on the glass. He's missing a shyt ton of wide open shots that he normally makes so I'm not completely concerned with it. I think that's been a team thing mentally. I think what the Warriors and Spurs have been doing was putting more pressure on them to kill opponents instead of just getting better as a team.


I think Windhorst is zoning in on Markieff because his value has lowered and being closer to his brother would help him out mentally.


Don't know what the Cavs would give up in return or how the minutes would work with him on the roster.

If Shump and LBJ hit shots sure.

I think they might go Iving, Smith, Shump, Bron, Morris tho. Just because JR is much bigger than Delly (height, weight, wingspan)
