A Big Move on the Horizon?

Why would the Cavs trade Love? For cap space to add Carmelo and get worse? I doubt it.

If they could add Carmelo and another good piece, I`d say they have consider it. Favors + Hood would probably get it done, with Favors going to New York and Hood to Cleveland. It would be tough for us gi give up on Hood, but atleast we wouldn`t have to give him his new way too big contract after a season of being our primary scorer.
 
Ya maybe. I'd love to watch the drama in Houston if that happened.
Its been reported that both NYK and Houston want to get a deal done but they need some other teams to get a deal done (basically find someone to take Ryno's salary).

The big problem is that Houston doesn't have its first round pick next year or any good rookie contracts so they don't have much to offer to bad teams who can afford to take him.

Anderson is a possibility with Utah helping facilitate Melo to Houston.

Love isn't happening.

Could be something out of left field that we haven't even considered.
 
The word "composition" hints to me that it's Favors as he is a huge piece of the current 2-traditional big roster composition. I could also see Joe Johnson being in the deal too as it would explain why Jonas Jerebko would want to sign here. If Favors and Joe Johnson are both on the roster, Jerebko has 0 available minutes when both those dudes are healthy.

Yeah sounds like it's a hint toward Favors. I don't think the Jazz are wanting to trade Joe. I think Jerebko would get minutes if Favors and Joe were healthy though. Favors would get some of his minutes splitting time with Gobert at Center which would open some minutes at PF. And Joe will probably be on limited minutes for the regular season again. Plus he can get some of his minutes at 3.
 
No, Melo is going to Houston.

I'd assume something like this?

* I dont think this is likely a real thing tho*

I could see us being involved in the HOU/NY trade. But getting Love out of the deal is unlikely. I don't think Cleveland would swap Love for Ryan Anderson. They really don't have a motive to move Love without getting a star back in return. It might be a different fourth team involved instead of Cleveland. Not sure what we would get out of it.
 
Why? It`s not like the two players we signed are going to demand huge minutes. We could still do a trade like sending Favors, JJ and Diaw for Love + Shumpert, which would really help our team.
The moves today are just to add depth. Neither would necessarily prevent another move from happening. Any "big move" would likely involve Hood, Favors or Exum.

Did Utah want Exum to play SL in order to showcase him? If so, he strengthened his trade value.
 
Don't know why Favors would be disgruntled.
Because he's been involved in trade rumors ever since Lindsey took over. Constant talk of Gobert and Favs not being an ideal fit at the 4/5. Also, he wanted to be extended at the deadline and the Jazz didn't make him an offer.
