Smartest thing for the future of the cavs would be to blow it up right now and instantly rebuild.
Kyrie for a young stud/high picks and the same for Lebron. Sell off Love while they are at it too.
lol
They're the favorites to return to the Finals from the East but it would be smart to blow it up? Is there any team in the NBA that shouldn't blow it up, aside from the Warriors?
Yes there are tons of teams loaded with young players (philly, LA, suns, Minnesota) that should let their teams grow on their own timelines and continue to add to them until they are legit contenders. This may have already been realized with Minnesota. I think a team like Boston has the players they need plus a pipeline of picks still (Brown, Tatum, Nets Pick/Lakers Pick) to continue to plug in to their roster. Teams like Houston, OKC and New Orleans have new superstar tandems they want to see how they work together following a training came and some trades. Other teams like Hawks, Pacers and Bulls have already "blown it up" and have nothing else to do besides rebuild.
If Cleveland really can't get Kyrie and Lebron to play together and can't find a package that makes sense for them for Kyrie they are in a position to "blow it up" and maximize their efforts to get a fresh start post Lebron. They did things the opposite of the Celtics and have the least young prospects of any team in the NBA. Even other contenders the last 5 years like the Spurs, Celtics, Warriors and Rockets have managed to find ways to add a few young and developing players. The Cavs have one other player under 26 besides Irving. Their future is horribly bleak at the moment...
