I think the Cavs plan is to build with Sexton and Love.

Sexton is 20 and Love is 30.  By the time Collin is ready to be an All-Star the Love will have faded.

It doesn't make sense for Cleveland to let Love play into his dotage and get nothing for him. 

Knicks got lucky with the Melo haul.  Mitchell Robinson is a keeper and Mudiay had a career year.  Might remain a Knick.

Not bad for a guy we didn't want to pay/play.

NO HAMBERDERS TODAY

Oh, and if the Cavaliers don't want Kevin Softie Love, they can send him to the Lakers.

Cavs have won 5 of the 7 games Love has played since his return.

Knix twice, Suns once ...

I think they'd love to cash Love in for yute and cheaper contracts.

Did somebody call an Uber?
27 & 13 w/ 3 Blocks as PHX knocked off 1st place MIL and put the Knix into last place.  Uber had 17 FT's, but kiid will probably focus on his sad and lamentable 1 assist.

LeBJ hasn't exactly delivered playoff mode.
I saw the 2nd half of a loss to lowly ATL last week, and LeBJ was pretty poor on both ends for the first 4 minutes of the 4Q. 
Another game, LAL was down 5 with 45 seconds and LBJ missed a pair of FT's.
The other game he inbounded the ball into the back of the backboard for a turnover.  They lost to PHX.

There's already been some talk Lakes would be better off trading LBJ.
I'd rather keep Lonzo, Ingram, Kuz and adding to them (I would have kept Zubac too), rather than cash in your yute for a hoped-for vet title run with LeBJ.   I'd also rather stick with Luke than get TyLu or whatever Friend of LeBron replaces him as coach next year.

I'm not sure what contract LBJ is on, and whether a trade is feasible or requires his permission.

Lebron's contract can totally be moved. But obviously it will never happen. a) It's the Lakers, they don't ship out stars (especially not with Magic/Rob Lowe running the show) and b) Lebron moved to LA for more than just basketball reasons. He doesn't want to go to Indianapolis or Salt Lake City.

Well, in between championship runs, they missed the playoffs two years in a row with Kobe (iirc), then brought in Pau.
But LeBJ is aging.

Supposedly Lakes were getting close to adding Melo until they started losing to crappy teams and looked like they won't make the playoffs.

What would BOS give to get LBJ?
PHI could move Simmons.
Hell, work out a 3-way where LBJ gets somewhere he wants to be, and AD comes to LAL.  That's make it worth the Lakes while.  Get a 25 year old Top player for a 34 year old one.  Involve Celts, they have assets they can part with.  team up LBJ and Kyrie again!

Young players are rejecting LeBron.  Kristaps had the Clippers on his list.  Lakers have tied their fortunes to LeBron.  LeBron would never agree to a trade.  It would be another thing his critics would use against him.  He is stuck there.  The clever clippers will have Kawhi and the best record in LA for years to come.

Get to see Oubre tomorrow night.  He should kill the Knicks

I hear they may just let him and Iso go 1 v 1 the entire 4th.

heh

That's my worry with Durant. He'll be 31 when we get him. I think after we sign him we should trade him before the season starts.

We only have 4 years we’re giving. I think KD is a reliable all star till 35. You hope by that point younger players have seasoned up and KD can take a lesser role. If we can starphuck without shedding youth or picks, I’m less against it than I am most years. I’d be more ready to buy avoiding big rep big salary guys this summer and building through picks and guys still trying to make their bones, with the Reddick style contracts for mentors to get us up to the cap floor.

And KD is a Top 5 player while K Love is a Top 35 player.
