Forget Melo. Cavs and Celtics trade idea

[Tr1boy]

To Cavs - Sullinger, Turner, Lee, Jerebko,  3 1sts (non brooklyn)
To Celtics - Love, Jones, Cunningham, Jefferson

Celtics lineup

Amir
Love
Crowder
AB
IT

KO/Zeller
Mickey
Young/Hunter
Smart
Rozier

vet depth
Jones
Jefferson


so we add Love.  IT gets help.  Too bad to lose Turner and Jerebko for the 2nd unit but now you get a more traditional looking 2nd unit with Smart and Rozier being responsible to handle the ball.

The cavs like this trade because their depth becomes much stronger. Something they are weak on right now.    Have the rights for Sullinger in the offseason.  Should be cheaper to sign him vs love.  3 1st picks good for the future/assets to make trades for the future

Cavs lineup

Sullinger
Thompson
Lebron
JR smith
Irving

Mozgov
Jerebko/Lee
Turner
Shumpert
Mo Williams/Delladova


Not the ideal trade for both teams but the bottom line is, does it make both teams better?  It's a good trade for both teams imo.  Not a fan of Love but Danny seems like he really wants to bring him in

Nope.

As Hall and Oats once said, "I can't go for that, no no, no can do."

I think that Cleveland would want for Love the same as the Clippers would want for Griffin and that is at least two above average players. The picks are in the second plan in my opinion because they are contending. With that said I don't think we do the deal without including AB, Kelly or Crowder.

[Who]

I think Ainge needs a 3rd team involved to get K-Love. I cannot see Cleveland being interested in a package of prospects + picks. Cleveland are a win-now team. They want a win-now asset in return for K-Love. A genuine star talent. Not multiple future assets. They are not a rebuilding team.

You get Love, you need Howard (can't believe I'm saying that), Howard could off set Love's defensive woes. Problem is I highly doubt you get Love without giving up the Brooklyn pick. Right now I don't think I would give up that pick for Love.

[The One]

As Hall and Oats once said, "I can't go for that, no no, no can do."

I loved that group!

I don't think I would either, but if the Knicks would take a couple non-Brooklyn picks/prospects and BRK 2018 would you do that? Cause I think if Ainge does a Love deal, it will need a 3rd team, and he'll probably try giving away the other BRK picks over this one.
