BOS-CLE-PHI-LAL

[bmac934]

Works in the trade machine.  Ryan kelly & Nick young are just to make contracts match.  Idea is based on the rumors that the cavs would do a trade for kevin love built on a package around jae crowder.  Trade also saves cleveland 3 million in cap space & gives them a trade chip in julius randle.  I would prefer to give cleveland avery bradley then jae crowder but I doubt they would bite.  I would also give AB rather than IT in the event CLE would prefer to fill a need.

This actually might be a feasible trade.  I definitely see the logic for us, LA, and Philly.  Cleveland might want a bit more but I think they could be talked into it.  They might need a pick or two coming their way as well.  TP for coming up with a four team trade that makes some sense for all parties.  I don't really like Okafor though; he's probably worth what we're giving up considering he was the #3 pick, but I think the NBA is moving away from players like him and I'm not interested in investing tons of resources in a big who can neither defend well nor stretch the floor.  I'd be happier if we just cut out Philly altogether and had russell and kelly come our way instead of Okafor.

I have to agree completely that Okafor doesn't look like the future of the NBA. His style of play can help a team win some games, but there may be a low ceiling on what that team can achieve.

I am not giving up Jae Crowder for Jahill Okafor, never mind Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas.

[bmac934]

I would definitely do that same deal cutting philadelphia out of the equation & get Dangelo Russell instead.

It also works in the trade machine if we get Louis Williams instead of Kelly & Young but I'm not thinking LAL would go for it.

Lol. There must be many Cavs ' fans in here.  So we give up one of our best defenders and scorers       
(two players that LOVE playing for the Celtics), not to mention on excellent contracts.  Then we help them get rid of Love who they want to dump anyway.  This is just laughable.

"So we give up one of our best defenders and scorers" - look at it how you want but we would 100% get the better end of the deal....CLE would probably want more than what I put down lol       

"(two players that LOVE playing for the Celtics)," - who cares; & how much did IT LOVE it last year when he wasnt starting

"not to mention on excellent contracts." - this is one of the reasons CLE would consider the offer in the first place & is by no means a reason not to go through with this trade

"Then we help them get rid of Love who they want to dump anyway." - this is actually laughable

My belly is hurting.

How about just IT, Crowder, Sully, and our own '16 1st for Love? Sully is a better replacement for Love than Randle is. Better spacing, rebounding, and especially defense (Randle is really bad on that end). Randle has more theoretical upside, so we throw in a mid-1st rounder.

I think the C's have to do that even though it costs us our two best players.  Love is a guy you can build around, and you gotta think that part of IT + Crowder's success has to do with Brad Stevens. I'd love to see what he can do with a guy as talented as Love.

I have little interest in Okafor. It's really tough to play a guy who provides neither 3 nor D. He needs to be in a perfect situation in order to thrive, surrounded with shooters, and we're not exactly hoarding marksmen on this team - especially if we trade IT away.

I tried to read the title in one word. I failed.

[Denis998]

It seems like Cleveland is getting too much, IT, jae, and randel for love? That's too much for a talent ranked in the 30s

This is actually a really clever idea...IF Ainge wanted to blow it up and start over from near scratch.

Cleveland gets three players who will probably fit better than Love.  Lakers get a star.  Philly swaps out one of the centers they're going to have to trade eventually and get an equivalent talent.  Boston gets the high ceiling centerpiece player they don't currently have and frees up more cap space.

If Ainge didn't have those Nets picks in his back pocket, I could almost see him doing something like this.

This is awful on many different levels... That's all I have to add to this thread.
