I don't buy that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinwiddie's efficiency fell off a cliff as the season went on and is not even close to worth a jump of 21 spots in the first round. You don't move from #29 to #8 without paying a serious premium.

I mean, two years ago Amico was caught plagiarizing the King's blog...so...no? Then there's this gem: As for how it would work, I could see something like: Cavs trade: KLove, #8 FOR D'Angelo, 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the bolded - IDK what the trade could look like but yeah, Levert and/or Russell wouldn't be traded for the #5 pick straight up, let alone a salary dump or #8. Regarding Dinwiddie, his efficiency numbers did fall off but it was very clearly due to his role being changed and experimented with upon D'lo's return. Before he was running the show and the ball was in his hands more, his natural position. After, he was often relegated to a wing position standing in a corner off-ball. His assists were down and his usage were down because of that. With a full off-season, Kenny will figure out the rotation with him, Lin, and D'lo all healthy.

The Cavs aren't giving away All Stars and lottery picks for NOTHING, which is what you seem to think. Although, in your defense as a Nets fan, you are used to teams giving away lottery picks for NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, this board When you veto 2 legitimate trade type deals where you actually GIVE SOMETHING UP after saying that exact quote. It's like when someone says, "Where do you want to eat?" ...and you say "Man, I don't care, let's go anywhere." Then, after someone says, "Cool, let's go here." ...you're like "No way man, that place is terrible. Seriously I'm up for whatever though."

I'd send back '19 1st (~15), #29, Dinwiddie, and Carroll IDK how the Cavs side is looking at this if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raves Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 @Bianconero Love isn't a dump, he's an all-star and his contract is perfectly fine. TT is a little overpaid but he actually does bring value to a team and isn't a contract you would dump as it would be hard enough to find someone that can give you what TT does with what money the Cavs would have. Some team might be willing to take him on as part of salary matching as they make a post season run that needs someone that can defend multiple positions and rebound at an elite level.
