You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Locke talking about trading our first +/- Favors for Kevin Love, which is the deal I've been talking about so much that I've decided to not talk about it. He thinks Kemba and Tobias likely not on the table and then you have to get a deal done on someone. He feels like our trade market for Conley isn't really big and that your backup is Love, and that's what he's doing is trading our pick and Favors in the mock draft he's doing. So, there you have it, folks.

Why not put an extra pick in and go after Conley... two firsts and a lot of salary relief should do it imo.

I listened... he mentioned Cleveland is close to " having to give picks to offload his salary". Like if you believed that as a GM... why wouldn't you just wait. At least go to the point where he doesn't cost you a pick.

I'd rather take the $30M in cap space and split it between Bev (10Mish) and Rudy Gay (15Mish)… get non-guaranteed second year options... go into the season and make a trade if you have to. I think those are one year overpays for those guys.

It isn't just the age and contract with Love... it's that he is the old kind of stretch four. Guys have to be able to stretch and dribble and guard... he can do one of those.

Cleveland has a chance to help someone clear space at the draft with JR Smith's contract. Can likely add another future first to the ledger. Issue is they will be signing up for a $40M luxury tax bill.

If they do the trade at draft time they will offload Love at some point for salary relief.

My premise for us desperately trading for Love was based on desperation. But, I'm having some doubts on that. Meaning, I'm legitimately starting to believe that DL would see running it back with Favors and preaching flexibility as a real option. That scares me. But it also has me questioning if he'd trade for Love.
 
I'm really intrigued by the fit with Bev... He's one of the perimeter guys that has a huge effect on defensive effectiveness. I am not sure if it would add on to the Rudy effect or if it would be tempered through diminishing returns. I also wonder if you add him if you can have a non-defender like Niko on the floor. Bev, DM, Ingles, Niko, Rudy... that's a lot of shooting around the Rudy PnR… I don't think opposing perimeter players would be stoked to see Beverly on ball and Rudy in the paint.

I prefer running it back and replacing Rubio with Beverly than going to get Love. It is likely the worst contract in the league and we are giving up a pick for it? If he was a free agent what would you give? Like 3/60M max after the year he had imo… He has 4/100M left... and we are giving the pick?
 
Scratch that 4/120M left.... it would be just an obvious monstrous mistake.

Is it even possible to do that trade on draft night since Favors contract can't be guaranteed until July?

This might be an unpopular opinion but I would rather run it back than get love
