I figure Love will Opt in and go for MAX MONEY next year When is Tristan Thomas's contract up? Rocket River
LeBron has spoken. TT will re-sign with the Cavs. Love is a goner. Has LeBron spoken up recently about how important it is to bring Love back? No. Love is history in Cleveland.
Defiantly not screwed. They still have the brendan haywood and his contract. Haywood offers a large amount of value from a contractual standpoint, though, as next year he has a $10.5 million cap hit, per Spotrac, which teams can maneuver out of due to a clause that makes it non-guaranteed if a team cuts him by a certain date http://m.bleacherreport.com/article...inal-look-at-brendan-haywood-chatter-and-more the can add a nice player or players. there's also a chance to sign and trade love. And most important, dan Gilbert proved that he is willing to pay in order to win.
Let's see the Cavs cap situation. Good : Hayward contract Bad : TT max extension Love ? Shumpert extension JR Mozgov in two years Varejao with one ankle getting paid 10 per for two more seasons. Yes they are screwed.
I don't quite understand what you mean. LeBron is staying anyway and waiting for the next years cap-explosion. Kyrie is already signed on a max. Kevin Love isn't going anywhere. He will sign the option because he is in a championship chase and also waiting for the new cap-situation a year from now regardless. The Cavaliers can match any deal Tristan is offered and they will. JR will also pick up his option for the same reasons than Love. Cavs can match Shumperts offers and they will do it. Varejao is locked. Miller has a player option that he will sign. Mozgov has a year left on his contract. They will take care of Dellavedova (not expensive) and Jones. Harris is on a rookie contract. That's 12 players. Matrix will retire, Perkins will think it over and they can do a lot with the Haywood contract to bring in a reserve PG and a C. The Cavaliers will be a very strong team next season.
Does not matter what LeBron says Love has the option NOW If you saying LeBron will get Love Traded . . .that could be interesting In the weak East it should be sufficient to stand pat Rocket River
What I mean s if Love leaves they are screwed cap wise and they won't be able to add another max star player. That's what I meant. Your post explained their cap situation better and in more detail.
BTW everyone here seems to banging on the Haywood contract. But that trading chip has lost a lot of value with the cap spike next offseason. Doubt they can bring a reserve C with it. There are few teams that will want it that much to give a center away.
LeBron, You Okay, Bud? LeBron James' strange, cryptic tweets Who, exactly, does LeBron James keep subtweeting about? Missing u: Kendrick Perkins | LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Tyronn Lue agree an enforcer is vital to a championship team, admit Cleveland Cavaliers don't have one
