What would you do with LeBron if you were the GM of the Cavs...

Tell him tough luck. This is what we got, there is no savior coming to save the season. Not DeAndre, Lou, Kemba or George Hill.

Spoiler

"You do everything you can to appease him now & get him some help now!"

Sir LeBron, we appeased you when we had to pay Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith & Iman Shumpert. You wanted to those guys paid & kept around.

Sir LeBron, we traded the first overall pick Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love.

Sir LeBron, we traded two first round picks for Timofey ****ing Mozgov.

Sir LeBron, we traded then-lifelong Cavalier Anderson Varejao for Channing Frye.

Sir LeBron, we traded another first for Kyle Korver

Sir LeBron, we signed your friends Mike Miller, James Jones & Dwyane Wade

Sir LeBron, we signed veterans like Kendrick Perkins, Richard Jefferson, Dahntay Jones, Mike Dunleavy, Chris Andersen, Derrick Williams, Deron Williams, Andrew Bogut, Larry Sanders, Jose Calderon, Jeff Green & Derrick Rose.

Sir LeBron, we traded most of our draft picks for win now help.

Sir LeBron, we fired David Blatt and hired friend Tyronn Lue.

Sir LeBron, while we probably shouldn't have traded Kyrie Irving, you pissed him off so bad that he no longer wanted to be here/play with you.

Now a few short years later(in your words), we're top heavy as hell, need a ****ing playmaker and we're stuck with these terrible contracts that no one else wants because you wanted them to get paid.

Sir LeBron, we did our best to appease you. This is what we're left with.

 

Beautifully written.

 

I was referring to the situation where Cleveland traded Lebron to Miami and other recent situations where CP3 opted into his deal to get traded to us

 

They should blow it up and trade everyone but they won’t. Instead they will likely trade away a couple of the bad contracts along with the Brooklyn pick for something like Kemba or Marc Gasol. They will likely still not make it out of the East. Lebron will leave and the Cavs will be on the mediocrity treadmill for a decade or so.

 

Acquire DJ and Lou for TT expirings/future pick.

Trade IT/expiring contracts (Rose, Calderon) for Kemba Walker + take on bad contract of either (Marvin Williams/Nic Batum or MKG)

Vital deal that seems minor in price but should pay huge dividends while being fairly easy to obtain if I were Cavs GM.....

Acquire Tyreke Evans for your own 1st round pick this year. Evans has been terrific this year and I can see him really helping the Cavs. It was never a question about his skills, size or talent. His knock has been decision making, effort and efficiency.

Everything has been on point this year (contract season). 19.5 points, 5 boards, 5 assists per game and he’s doing that while shooting 46% from the field and 39% from deep off 5.4 attempts per game. There’s nobody else that’s going to provide as big of an impact.... speaking in terms of what you have to give up to acquire. Cavs are desperate for a well rounded playmaker that can create his own shot, distribute for others and relieve pressure off of Bron. Evans should be a top priority.

 

It's Kemba and/or next Season.

This is the Land of the Quit. And Despair.

 

I'd call up OKC and see if they would give up Carmelo for JR Smith, Isaiah Thomas, and Jae Crowder.

OKC needs depth in the worst way and Melo is dying playing next to Westbrook. Thomas gives them someone to relieve Westbrook when he goes out of the game as well as play next to him at times. Smith gives them a spot-up chucker who can get some points when they kick it out to him and Crowder replaces Melo at the 4.

Melo gets to play with his Banana Boat buddies, gives the Cavs someone to replace Love while he's out, and gives them a pretty fearsome lineup come playoff time when Love comes back.

 

He needs a glue like Battier or Varejao. Getting older does not help.

He is easing into the 2nd Scottie Pippen role therefore a younger No 1 option is needed urgently!

 

Cavs salary dump trade

Cavs get expiring contracts from the 3rd team and unprotected first round picks from 3rd team.

Rockets get LeBron, JR Smith, T Thompson, Iman Shumpert

Rockets send Ryan, Gordon and other players to 3rd team.

Cavs need to save big.

 

Every Western Conference playoff team has made an offer for LeBron, but I don't think he's actually on the trade block.

If they wanted to force his hand a bit, they could initiate a rebuild and give him his trade options. He won't stay through a rebuild. I don't think he will get traded though, but I'm sure they will make a trade before the deadline.

 

Lol, for a scientist you are really bad at math.
