    Get real. Most likely outcome right now is keeping Dwight. By far.

    I think what you mentioned, but for Love and Mozgov, will happen.

    Cleveland doesn't care about picks. They are in win now mode, and those picks won't likely be until the end of the 1st anyway.

    They want immediately impact players....ie Dwight and Ariza.

    Apparently they turned down Dwight for Love already.

    We'll see. But today's moves (on Cleveland's and Houston's side) make me think it will happen. Makes too much sense for both teams.

    Love would be an alright move for now.

    He will let us play all offense and little defense and go down trying.

    Don't want a sulking happy face D12 on the team after the trade deadline. If so, please fake a season ending injury for him and let Capela develop under Dream's coaching

    We'll see if it happens, sure. It's definitely not "the most likely scenario" though.

    Idk why they would... they have zero chance at the chip this year if they keep their current squad. The Love experiment has failed, and keeping him would only waste another 1-2 years of Lebron's prime.

    Why? Keep dreaming. They don't have a backup 4. They play JJ or RJ so now they will always have a stretch 4 in. Also they can play Love and Frye and clear the lanes. Also Frye can play in small ball lineup instead of Love. Versatility.

    Alright move for now? If we swing Love for Dwight, it would easily be the second best move Morey would have made thus far in Houston.
    The first being Harden.

    Last year was the end of LeBron's prime.

    If we aren't gonna go full firesale, I'd like to see a Jones/Brewer/something for Ryan Anderson type deal. Maybe dump Brewer on a 3rd team (Philly?) and give em a pick.

    If we gave them Ariza/Dwight, Ariza can easily slot in as a stretch 4.
