    Yeah, especially if that season is going more experimental than one would have liked.

    You are right. I want Harden Westbrook Covington Ibaka and another starter with Tucker off the bench and Gordon traded

    I would figure Love would want to play with Russ since they played together at UCLA.

    lol the media got all you guys good. Old media tricks of mixing in some facts with hyperbole and emotion arousing statements got most of you caught up in an emotional web. Who knows what the truth is. I’m sure its a combination of Russ wanting to play pg again, drastic coaching and management change and lack of cap room for improvement. Who knows. Who cares. If he is on the trading block we have to get another star either lesser or equal. Anything less would be a step back.

    yes! Tucker is not a starter in this league. I like noels nerlene at the 5 and ibaka at the 4. Who knows maybe management will convince russ to stay.

    Right. Kendrick's whole premise is that James wasn't involved in the coaching interview process and we know that's not true.

    If cyber is right then Harden is doing us a favor by keeping his issues in house to allow his trade value to stay high.

    Which ironically would be the type of Integrity move that would make me want him to stay now. For all his faults, they don't making them like Harden

    Love is already 32 years old. i feel like Kevin Love gonna be our Ryno 2.0 at this point in his career...
    i'd say screw them all, trade both Harden and Russ..let's hit the reset button..

    Never been a fan of Love, but he has always been way better then Ryan Anderson, Love has been an all star for good reasons years ago, he could score, shoot, pass, rebound very well...at least on offense he was and probably still is a complete player. Anderson was always a monodimensional player, even offensively, he could shoot and do nothing else, bad passer, mediocre rebounder...so, yeah, Love would still have a better impact than Anderson here, even though he would probably spend most of the time waiting for an outlet pass. But at the same time, at this point i feel like he would be such an underwealming get...he has also been playing tanking basketball for two years now, constantly missing games too, i know the situation we're in in terms of assets and leverage is bad, but still...to me it would be the perfect trade that shows how we're literally trying to stay aflot when we're destined to drawn cause we simply can't swim.

    I love to compete but, can we really beat a LeBron and Davis Lakers team? Or a steph Curry led team with the second pick this year...
    Part of me wants to say blow it up...LeBron will retire ...then let’s go all in...

    Brogdon and Turner is a no brainer.

    We do this because Love is a better fit but why would Cleveland do this deal. Westbrook is the overall better player but he's 32 and there's no time to rebuild around him. Would this just be a money grab to get fans to the games?

    Now this Turner deal would be nice. Then, if Harden still wants out you could pull the trigger on a Harden/ Ben Simmons swap and have a quick rebuild with a young Simmons/Brogdon/Turner lineup

    That would be a pipe dream. Those two are perfect fits on this roster. Brogdan is the perfect guard to pair with James. Amazing 3 point shooter, solid defender and doesn’t need the ball to operate but it more than capable with the ball in his hands.
