    This is the only scenario that makes any sense. Cavs have to know they are not getting by the Warriors currently and Lebron's window is starting to wind down. We get a younger star who really isn't working out there to rebuild around Harden. Also might make a Durant signing more possible.

    Even just this year, it would make it considerably easier for both Lawson and Harden to operate, IMO.

    Why the heck would Cleveland trade Love for Dwight?

    Love is 3-4 years younger, locked into a cheap contract relative to the new cap. They can pawn him for far better value. Trading him for a 30 year old wanting the new max, has injury problems, and is much like their other three bigs(big guys with D & reb), it makes zero sense.

    Love for Bosh would make more sense.

    Dwight for Hassan, Deng, Birdman, Haslem and two picks is the only thing I can think that'll happen.

    Lol at the Cavs if they fire their coach because of Love and then trade Love.

    Here is the real question: Does Lebron prefer Love or Dwight?

    While I think LeGM prefers Love, Dwight would be better for them against GS.

    Love is terrible on defense and still hasn't found much more of a role than chucking 3s on offense.

    If only the dumbass Kings would just realize Cousins isn't working in Sac. 5 seasons without 30 wins. They should just rebuild and give us Cousins. We can deal Howard to Celtics and they can give their million picks to Kings.

    Klove for Howard would be insane too. Klove doesn't even fit on Cavs whereas Howard would take them to another level. They would have superior perimeter D with dominant interior D with Howard. It would be dumb for Cleveland not to at least entertain this trade if Howard agrees to re-sign.

    Shaq is such a biased idiot when it comes to Howard. Why the constant hate? DH was never as good or successful as Shaq, but he still won't give up the hatred. Is it the LA thing, the Superman nickname or did DH do a Fisher with Shaq's ex wife?
