    That team is going to be terrible defensively.

    Lol just like Parsons would NEVER be traded? Just like Parsons was going NO where?

    It's official guys, were getting Pachulia!! Whenever Basketballhollic think's he knows something, the opposite happens.

    "Stats don't matter!! My opinion does!! My opinions are facts and you will accept them!! If you don't...

    I.

    WILL.

    DO.

    THIS.

    Because its persuasive y'know.

    We did not trade Parsons. Morey let his a... walk when his contract became a negative value.

    And now you're advocating giving away Canaan for $10 million worth of Pachulia clogging the cap for the next 2 seasons while standing on the side of the FT lane watching the dude he fouled sink a couple freebies.

    We

    are

    not

    trading

    for

    Pachulia.

    Cavs seem to be making some moves again. Things could be heating up. They just traded for some non guaranteed contracts that can be used in a trade with Minny to take back more salary.

    You said multiple times Parsons wasn't going anywhere, you shouted it in every thread, tried to correct people, acted like Parsons staying was set in stone. You were dead wrong. Which is cool, everybody gets things wrong including me. But when you arrogantly repeat and rant your blind ignorant opinion like its a fact, and tell other people our opinions are wrong, it makes you look ridiculously silly. Especially since you were just dead wrong about the Parsons fiasco, you shouldn't be going about things like that anymore.

    As we all suspected, Love to Cleveland could take awhile, given the need to match up salaries and whatnot.

    Why Love to Cavs could take a while

    Jul 23

    By Nick Borges | ESPN.com

    The Cleveland Cavaliers will likely end up with Kevin Love at some point as the other contenders -- Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors -- having interest in the power forward can not or will not meet the demands from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Should the Cavs and Wolves come to terms, the deal won't be finalized for a while due to some trade rules via the collective bargaining agreement.

    First, the Cavs need to sign Andrew Wiggins to help make the salary numbers match up. Currently his outgoing value is zero, but that will increase to $5.51 million as soon he signs his rookie-scale contract. Once that occurs the Cavs will have to wait 30 days before Wiggins is trade-eligible.

    Second, the Cavs acquired three players from the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, according to Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst, and at least one of them can't be traded for two months since Cleveland went over the salary cap to complete the deal. Those players are guard John Lucas III and forwards Erik Murphy and Malcolm Thomas.

    There is a lot of rumors that Minnesota wants to include guard Kevin Martin as part of a Love trade and the Cavs will need to send back all three of the players from the Jazz if they hang on to center Brendan Haywood.

    As of Wednesday, the earliest Love could join the Cavs is Aug. 23 if Wiggins signs his contract today. The latest is Sept. 22 if Lucas III, Murphy and Thomas are part of the package for Love and Martin.

    Take with a grain of salt?

    But not a crappy offer, if true.

    Hold up. Mirotic can't be traded until December though, right?

    EDIT: My bad. He was a draft pick. 30 days.

    I'm tired of hearing about this crap.

    One day it is "wiggins is avaialbe", the next is "wiggins is not available", and ever day after that it just keeps switching back and fourth. Somewhere in between we'll see "klay is available, then "klay is not available".

    Jesus just get this trade over with already.

    In two years the Cavs could have a MAXd out Kyrie and Love and disappointing playoff finishes and LBJ the free agent.

    I am not sure why you take Wiggins #1 if you think he could lose value in 6 months.

    I am just picturing a finals with Kyrie trying to guard Westbrook/Parker and Love guarding Duncan/Ibaka and laughing my tail off.

    How come CLE trades for those players on non-guaranteed contracts and the media is not labeling them "assets"? How come it's wrong when Morey does it? double standard

    Thought they mentioned something pretty interesting somewhere in the 40ish minute range...

    He and Simmons both agreed that they put Love in their top 10 players, but Lowe mentioned he's spoken to all types of people in the NBA who don't think he is a very good player. From stat heads, analytics guys and old school evaluators there are guys who believe he doesn't help you win games.

    FWIW (not much? but now that ESPN is reporting Minnesota interest in Thad Young):

    Someone on the 76ers forum (philly.com) posted what some ESPN "Insider" Brad Doolittle was hearing, something like:

    Minnesota gets Andrew Wiggins, Thad Young, Anthony Bennett, nonguaranteed (waivable) contracts and two 2015 first round picks (from Cleveland; maybe their own and Memphis').

    Philadelphia gets Dion Waiters and Kevin Martin.

    Cleveland gets Kevin Love and J.J. Barea.
