I'm really interested to see what kind of blueprint is being mapped out right now for our future.
My guess..
We need to cut all of LeBron's crew (because they're useless and pointless to keep now) and dead weight (Smith, Green and White)
Re-sign Rodney Hood. Rotate Cedi and Hood at the 2 and 3.
Get any kind of value by trading JR. He has lost his step dramatically and I'm still upset with game 1 in the finals. Who'd actually give up assets for trash?
Get a younger, fairly good 3. Or just have Hood take over full time instead of rotating at 2
Please just release Tristan Kardashian. Take the bite (cap hit and what he's still owed) and move on. They're willing to pay the luxury tax, they sure can take this hit. Or trade the cursed dumbass to the Clippers. Try to get a first rounder to help with the rebuild.
Love stays as the 4 until his contract runs out in 2 years or gets traded.
Larry Nance jr. moves in at 5, full time unless Love gets traded.
Keep George Hill as a mentor for Sexton and vet presence. If he can't except back up role, he goes.
I'm not sure if the Cavs have any cap room now..but if they're willing to sign a free agent or two.. here's some targets I'm interested in (apologize in advance if I mention a player that's not available):
Jahlil Okafor, C
Derrick Favors, PF
Alex Len, C
Greg Monroe, C
Shabazz Muhammad, SF
Nerlens Noel, C
Lance Stephenson, SG
Wilson Chandler, SF
And of course, trade targets (not sure how much trade magic is left in the tank...):
Clint Capela, C
Kyle Anderson, SG/SF
Aaron Gordon, PF
Montrezel Harell, C
Richaun Holmes, C
Jabari Parker, SF
Marcus Smart, SG
Noah Vonleh, PF
(I'm choosing centers in case Love ends up getting traded and Nance jr. takes over the 4.)
Starters as of right now:
PG- Collin Sexton
SG- Cedi Osman
SF- Rodney Hood
PF- Kevin Love
C- Larry Nance jr.
Doesn't look pretty...but it's rebuild mode.
