If Splitter is healthy, he would be an amazing back up to Mozgov. We won't be the only team trying to pry him away though.
That would be a really solid big rotation. Love, TT, Andy, Mozgov, & Splitter.
The thing that really scares me about that rotation is the lack of another floor spacer at the 4 or 5. I really like Splitter, and if the Cavs can't/won't resign TT, Tiago would be a good replacement.
However, playing any two of TT, AV, Mozgov, and Splitter together would just destroy the floor spacing. The Cavs need a big on the floor at all times who can stretch the floor to fully take advantage of the abilities of Kyrie and LeBron.
To really have this make sense for the Cavs, I'm assuming they'd have to find a way to do an S&T involving Thompson. A move to get a guy like Ryan Anderson from the Pelicans could potentially make a lot of sense combined with a Splitter trade.
Anderson + Quincy Pondexter = $11.6 mill
Right in the range of what TT wants. Pondexter would give the Cavs another guy who can swing between SG/SF (37% career 3P shooter, 43% after joining NO this season) and a pretty good defender as well.
Those two trades would make way more sense to me than flopping Love for Aldridge or just adding Splitter on his own. It'd make the Cavs much deeper and also give them the ability to really throw some crazy lineups out there. This is what the depth chart would look like following those two trades:
PG: Kyrie, Delly
SG: Smith, Shumpert
SF: James, Pondexter
PF: Love, Anderson, AV
C: Mozgov, Splitter, AV
Throw in some ring chasing vets and you have a far more versatile roster that is not only more balanced but also better able to regulate minutes.
Think about some of the lineups Blatt could throw out with a roster like that. Need a 3 ball lineup or some instant offense? Have LeBron play point-forward with Kyrie, Smith, Love, and Anderson and watch opposing teams have nightmares trying to deal with the floor spacing.
