    Yeah. As I said in the other thread, something to continue to watch. DMo would probably improve that team.

    I don't know why Love would want to be the scapegoat for this team. It's clear that Lebron and Kyrie can do what they want. Blatt is picking on the 3rd guy and trying to make a point. Call me when Blatt benches Lebron. Maybe that'll be news.

    So much for the notion of Love finding his place in the offense while LeBron was out.

    Daryl secret plan to trade for Love:

    1) sign McHale to an extension (The GM that drafted Love)
    2) trade for Brewer (Love's fastbreak partner in crime)
    3) trade for Shved in order to have enough salary to trade for Love
    4) give Shved playing time over Canaan to show some value

    It's all falling into place....

    Love was benched because Markieff Morris was destroying him inside - out.

    Think about how many people had Love as the best PF in the NBA the past few years. Was a good laugh then, and it's a good laugh now.

    If he was really available i'm not sure if i'll want him......He really does put up empty stats. His defense is really gawd awful as it seems too.

    I don't want Love anymore. I really don't think he can be a viable piece on a championship team, not with his sorry defense. Especially on a team like the Cavs that need him to be a plus defender for his position, it's not going to happen. He really needs to play with a real defensive front court, all defensive SF and C to make up for his shortcomings on that side of the ball.

    Heat-Bosh is much better than Cav-Love. Toronto-Bosh is light years better than Love. Bosh actually contributed to wins and playoff berths and could play elite defense.

    Maybe we can get LeBron to throw himself into the trade.

    I rather have DMo over love.... Love is way over rated and over payed not to mention the fact that he relys on the jump **** more than the post up. No thank you I'll pass on Love

    Small sample, but Minnesota was 2-2 when Rubio was healthy, losing only to Chicago and Memphis by combined 5 points. They unraveled when he got injured, going 3-29 since. I don't think it's unreasonable to believe the Wolves would be somewhat respectable with Rubio.
