Aldridge to the Cavs makes the most sense for both teams.
Giving up LMA and Green would be a huge defensive loss for us tbh
The Nuggets and Pistons are being mentioned suddenly online. Nuggets have assets, Pistons have Dummond but not sure the Cavs want him with a similar player in Thompson already.
Wouldn't trade LMA, Green, Murray, and a first for Kyrie tbh. Maybe two of those but not all four.
Yep. Would hate to lose both.Quote:

If he doesn't give a promise to be there for the long haul, I believe a lot of teams will back off trying to pursue him.
Cavs-Bledsoe, Green, Murray+ Spurs 1st
Suns-LMA, Frye
Spurs- Irving, Chandler
That's the best possible/realistic deal including Spurs I've seen
As much as I want to believe this to be true, there are a lot of dumb GM's who would risk damaging a franchise's future to sell tickets for at least two seasons: DET/PHX/DEN All whom have better assets than SAS.Quote:

When in doubt look for MJ and the Bobcats.
Yes, but for some reason, I think LeBron would be pissed if Cavs strengthened the one team that could beat them next year. Plus they'd have to trade Isaiah. Not sure they would.Quote:

Not sure giving up Green and LMA makes sense as it will really hurt on the defensive side of the ball and the Spurs claim to fame the last two years has been their defense.
And that would be a big Yuck from me. I hate to see that much defense leave the team along with a prospect and a pick.Quote:

Im sure Leroids is working hard for Kylie not to go to the Spurs
Since Lebron owns the team. Not gona happen
Celtics are hording 1st rounders like they are going to be outlawed soon.Quote:

For
Kyrie Irving
would assume that would be the offer, not a bad haul for the Cavs. They should make a more independent of Lebron, do what's best for their franchise.
PG-Thomas
SG-Irving
SF-Hayward
PF-Horford
C-Baynes
PG-Rose-Smart-Calderon
SG-Smith-Korver
SF-Lebron-Crowder-Brown
PF-Love-Jeff Green
C-Thompson-Frye
No one on that team plays D, Lue doesn't hold them accountable. I'm guessing it would be different under Pop for Kyrie.Quote:

The problem with moving Green is you'd probably have to take Shumpert back. I'd still do it to land Irving, and Shumpert could be a valuable expiring in 2018-19, but I'd much rather keep Green.Quote:
