Bring back Lauri Markkanen. He'd be a great fit.
No LeBron. We too do this without him.
We need Herb Jones
LeBron. Nope! No way!
Here’s a crazy idea, why don’t we simply trust the talent that we have and maybe we can be one of those teams that wins a championship without a superstar, I’m good with a star player that can get his shot at anytime in the game and surround him with some really good players and players who understand their roles I think this could work well and bring the Cavs a championship soon
Trade TT 4 KLove. TT will then be brought out & retire 2 become CLEs nu asst. coach. Love would then be the 3rd man off the bench behind Vert & Ty.
Most likely, the Cavs r active during the buyout market or become a 3rd team n a trade 2 acquire another big/3&D wing.
I would really like it if KLove and Bron, deciding at the same time to make it their last year, come back to Cleveland for a vet minumum and play with the Cavs for their final seasons.
A pipe dream, I know.
