3. Enes Kanter to Utah

Gotta think either Big Al or Milsap has to be on the move at some point.

My guess is Al.

Minny should trade:

Love - sell high, don't get a max contract in the books for a guy who struggles to create his own shot and is a mediocre defender, open up minutes for Williams (who will struggle playing at the 3 full-time).

Beasley - because he's an inneficient volume scorer who doesn't defend and stops the ball

Flynn - because he's horrible

-----

Rubio - Ridnour
Johnson - Webster
Williams -
Randolph - Williams - Tolliver
Milicic - Pekovic

If they could get a very good wing and a defensive center for Love + Beasley, they'd have some potential.

Utah has a loaded frontline with Derrick Favors, Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Mehmet Okur, and now Enes Kantor.

Ultimately their future is Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors though.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Awful pick for Cleveland. An undersized 4 who's a long-term project. Very raw offensively, gets lost defensively, poor defensive rebounder.

I don't understand the Tristan Thompson craze. Why is he so highly rated?

Utah messed up those plans.

The Cavs didn't break the Spurs hearts, but the Pistons'. Thompson played Derrick Williams to stand-still in workouts and won Cavs over

Cleveland needed a center or SF. Valenciunas or Leonard would have been a better pick.
