How about to Houston for Ryan Anderson for similar reasons? Plenty of teams wouldn't mind moving a bad contract and tossing some 2nds a late 1st. If you're Cleveland, you're not doing any favors by trading LeBron to the Lakers (whether it be via S&T or him opting in), and I doubt the Lakers are going to send picks back to compensate the Cavaliers since they'd probably be trying to keep those same picks for Kawhi. So you're essentially trading LeBron to the Lakers for a HUGE TPE, which I suppose is valuable in it's own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a lot of Cleveland's players are better than they played last season. In bigger roles I think guys like Love, Hood, and Thompson would produce a lot more.

The Cavs aren't trading LeBron to the Lakers, they'd be trading JR Smith I think was the mentioned player in the line. JR Smith will have value to teams that want to cut a lot of cap for the 2019 offseason, same with George Hill, especially if LeBron and George opt in and Leonard isn't traded to the Clippers/Lakers. Then you add in the fact that Klay and several others could be FA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungJefe Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If LeBron does stay in Cleveland do you think they could potentially make a move for Carmelo Anthony? He'd be cheap and he's close to LeBron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I know he has connections to LA but if we are talking the best chance to win it is either Houston or Philly above the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would OKC want to move Melo enough to essentially trade expirings for expirings to save 7 mil or so? Hill and Korver would be nearly a match dollar for dollar, and give OKC a perimeter shooter that they could use. Korver doesn't necessarily need to be included. Cleveland gets Carmelo Anthony Dennis Schroder Kent Bazemore Melo and Bron get to play together. Schroder gives them another scorer who is an upgraded passer from Clarkson, who ATL is rumored to want to move, and Bazemore, who can defend the arc, is a good shooter, and would fit the dynamic of the Cavs OKC gets George Hill OKC moves Melo and saves nearly 9 mil in salary/tax penalty, making it easier for them to extend George financially Atlanta gets JR Smith Jordan Clarkson player wise, ATL probably isn't getting close to equal value back. However, ATL would be able to buy out JR after 2018-2019 for only 3.8 mil, and Clarkson's final year is much less than Bazemore/Schroder. ATL would save about 17 mil in contracts in 2019-2020 by doing the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nugpimpen Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Sounds like we are waiting to make moves until Lebron decides. Report said we'd send Sexton for Kemba. Obviously more parts to that as well. Guess we will find out more on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWood21 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Anyone else feel that the opt out (Friday) indicates where he's going? If he's opting out, he's most likely going to lose money next year as his PO will likely come higher than his max salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
