If Lebron says no, what about Hood and Love as an alternative?

    It would be hard to put 3 - 30m players on the team at one time and build from there. But if Lebron leaves, why not focus on our weaknesses, we need a big with range that can also rebound, and we need another 3 and D guy to possibly replace an aging Ariza.

    Maybe we can offload Anderson, and some picks, and cash to Cle as they clealry would enter rebuilding mode, for Hood and Love?

    I am not good as specifics of the trade, but it seems that would be great as a target for Harden and CP3, to have Love as that third guy.

    Honestly this is LeBron, PG or bust.

    Because Love is of no value against the Warriors. He can't switch. So he's gonna sit on the bench collecting a paycheck like Ryno.

    Why? Because...

    Hood sucks.

    Love is an upper middle-class Ryan Anderson.

    Love is no better than Anderson on defense against the Warriors.

    if Lebron leaves, the focus shifts entirely to securing Paul George...please stop bringing up mediocre players like Hood or flawed “stars” like Love...

    Love as our 3rd guy? Lol, no thanks. His defense is a liability in general, and against GS in particular he’s BBQ chicken. Love is gonna execute this switching scheme? I don’t think so. If CP3 goes down in the playoffs again next season which is certainly a possibility, we’re gonna roll with Harden, Love, and the rest of the crew? No...

    Rodney hood sucks

    Kevin love is about as big of a defensive liability as Ryan Anderson

    Creative idea but I don't see how any one on that Cleveland squad moves the needle for us besides Lebron.

    Which is another reason to hate the Warriors. Offseason is usually really fun. But when there's only one clear cut team to beat teams don't take risky or unorthodox moves; because there's too clear of a picture of what you need to win

    This thread is PEAK DaDakota.

    // Forget Lebron, he is too old.

    // Hey, let's take a look at the younger detritus instead.

    Weird for someone who was always railing about the Rockets "kicking cans down the road" instead of trying to win now.

    If we put that in mathematical format:
    0 - Darryl Morey = you

    :D Gotta love DD ideas!!

    But, hey! I'm totally with you if we strike out on EVERY available true star and ended up with Love, i'd be okay with it. I was catching heat for suggesting trading for Millsap too. Millsap at least plays D though. Where we differ is this plan is like a last resort. Not plan B lol.
