With George/Lebron gone and Kawhi unlikely, Philly should trade for Love

[jpotter33]

Philly should go after Love hard now. I think they should be able to simply absorb Love into their cap space with a few simple moves, and it should really only cost them something like the Miami pick and maybe one or two of their lesser young prospects. That'd save Cleveland quite a bit of money, allow them to tank this year, and also get them some nice rebuilding pieces for the future.

Love the fit of Love in Philly.

yup. Love would be like Saric on steroids. Their best bet is surround Simmons with shooters and Love is still one of the best in the league. I think if he actually stays in Cleveland he'll remind people just how good he is, probably put up 23 and 14 or something crazy

Said this in the Lebron to LA thread. I think it'd make sense for them.

Another Wiggins for Love trade may make sense again LOL

Philly should stay the course.  Love doesn't move the needle for them.  Certainly wouldn't give up the Miami 1st for him.

Philly has other picks or young players to make an interesting offer to Cleveland. It doesn't have to be the primo assets.

Reminds me of the summer when Kevin Love rumors dominated the C's rumor cycle.

Yeah, that was really just a guess on my part; I honestly have no clue what it would take to get him. Don't overpay, but a reasonable offer for him would be well worth their while given his terrific potential fit there.

I think Bradley would also be a really good fit there, even just on a one year deal to rehab his value. He'd be a great fit to help try and contain Kyrie in the playoffs.

Love makes 25M.  Getting Love would mean losing Redick.  If I'm the Sixers. I'd much rather have Redick and Saric.

such a trade is at least plausible. philly lost in five games to a celtic team that was missing its two best players. next year can't look too attractive to them if they trot out the same team...which they won't since belinelli and others will be gone.

philly has to do something or be left behind. love may not be the answer, but it gives the team a better chance.

I think the cavs will look to unload love. he is about the only asset they have right now. they are saddled with bad contracts like JR smith and Tristin Thompson thanks to Lebron

That is JR Smith's team right now! LOL

[footey]

I think he’d just eat into Saric minutes. I’d prefer to play Saric more not less.

LOL I said that a couple weeks ago in an other thread....

It actually does make really good sense for both teams. Gets Cleveland young and gives the Wolves a really good PF next to Towns who can spread the floor and board....

Front court D is going to be crap! LOL

Love is most definitely not the answer.  Philly isn't in a win now mode like Toronto is.  They should develop Embiid. Simmons and their other young players while being the 2nd or 3rd best team in the East.  Then they can try again for a Max free agent next offseason.
