How do you get rid of bad contracts while getting a player you want? Take on a worse contract.

I don't care who is traded at this point. Just get some defensive minded players in here because right now we have none. Our current active roster makes Shump look like he is 1st team All NBA defender.

It will require the BKN pick to get either Kemba or DJ.

If it does, then let someone else have them.

Trade everyone who allowed a team to score 150 points

I liked an idea thrown out there by Andrew Han on Windy's podcast.

Cleveland trades Shump, Frye, and IT for Kemba Walker, Nick Batum and Marvin Williams.

Ditch IT for Kemba, add Batum's length and I'd take Williams over Jeff Green. At least he knows his role.

Seriously what has Green done? and why doesn't Lue run Calderon anymore?

Green was lights-out during the streak, and then he remembered he was the best 1-on-5 basketball player who ever lived...

Trade for Kanter - that would be fun

 

[wremy]

Green has played fine IMO... Hill is someone that I'd have on this team tomorrow if the asking price some are reported is true...

Same contact who told me Cavs would be heavily involved in PG13 trade talks after Warriors series (he told me after game 2 of finals), said he's hearing there is a lot of chatter around the Hornets right now.

They're desperate to rid themselves of Batum's deal, and willing to package Kemba to make that happen. Dwight is on the block as well. He thinks the Cavs make at least one move with Charlotte, but think it could evolve into a multi-player blockbuster.

Something where Kemba, Batum, and Dwight all come to CLE, for a mix of expiring deals and assets.

I always thought Dwight would be red-lighted based on past history, but now I'm starting to think it's one of the Cavs only options for an elite defensive rim protector, and I guess, as my former manager said, they brought Dwight's best friend in Deron Williams last year, and while Williams was inconsistent, he actually fit in OK. Deron Williams and Dwight were hated by Paul, Wade, Melo, and Bron on the Olympic team back in 2004. Griffin ran the idea of bringing Williams into the lockerroom by LeBron who "okay'd" it.

Anyways, I'm starting to think a major roster overhaul is on the docket....

Personally, I'd really like to see CLE let Isaiah work himself back into game shape and see what they have, but if they aren't willing to go down that path, I'd be OK, with something like:

IT3, JR, TT, Shumpert and at least one of our 1st rd picks, for Kemba, Batum, and Dwight.

Our starting 5 turns into:

Dwight
Love
LeBron
Batum
Kemba

2nd primary rotation:

Wade
Korver
Crowder
Green
Frye

We'll see......I'm kinda piecing together some info with what would logically make sense. Hornets would rid themselves of Batum's horrible deal, while Cavs rid themselves of Shump, JR, and TT. Bringing in IT3, gives Hornets a chance to retructure next year, with expiring deals to move. It hurts Clevelands flexibility going forward though.

 

[WorldFreeB]

That Batum contract is ridiculous and runs into 2021,,,I would be shocked if the cavs took that on. They would almost have to give away Kemba for someone to take that monstrosity.

 

[OptimusPrime]

I really don't want Howard. And I don't want Batum's contract either, although I might consider it depending on much it lowers the price on Walker.

 

[Akron St. V]

fuck that terrible hornets trade

 

[I'mWithDan]

I'd swallow Batum's deal if it meant getting Kemba and not relinquishing the BK pick.

That is classic asset creation via lighting a pile of money on fire....which is Dan's specialty.

Kemba is on a nice contract and could easily be moved next year for draft assets if LeBron bolts.

 

[bboy]

Tanking teams who want a pick or Cedi. That's the only way these moves are happening. It will require the BKN pick to get either Kemba or DJ.

In my opinion nothing is saving this season...be smart keep Cedi and the pick...don't make stupid moves just to do something we will regret it...
