Makes sense to me too. Love is from Oregon and acquiring him would likely make the Blazers the team to beat out west.
Here’s a deal that would work:
To BLAZERS: Love & Ante Zizic
To CAVALIERS: Evan Turner, Zach Collins, Nassir Little, & a 1st round pick
If the Blazers want to keep Little, they can give us a second 1st round pick, instead.
I would’ve had interest in Simons prior to the draft, but, now that we’ve picked Garland, there isn’t the same need. Besides, I think Portland wants him to fill Seth’s Curry’s role, since he’s likely leaving in free agency.
