Where?

The Spurs have interest in Irving, league sources say, and Irving's willingness to commit to an extension with the Spurs makes for legitimate win-now deal possibilities for Cleveland. Without James beyond next season, though, the likes of LaMarcus Aldridge, Tony Parker and Danny Green hold no appeal.

So no Green, Aldridge, or Parker. But something makes sense for "win now".
wtf.

I kinda have the same feeling.... I mean... where we really that bad to blow up??

In the other hand.... an opportunity of this magnitude is rare indeed. If RC and CIA POP jumping the gun a bit ?

[ginobilized]

The pot is getting stirred! Intriguing possibilities.
Kyrie dropping 57 on the Spurs at home must be part of the appeal.

Is Denver the 3rd team involved? Do they have anyone that the Cavs would want?

Idk. I take some comfort in knowing they will have to do something this year or next. If they don't, they'll be mediocre or bad for years. Then I can not worry about it. I've got my 5 rings and saw the glory years. Which was more than enough to watch the bad ones.

Very interesting. The Spurs really do need a third team that can give the Cavs that young player.

Another question is, do the Cavs still want to trade Kevin Love? If so, would he be going to the 3rd team or the Spurs? Would Denver want Love or LMA if given the choice between the two? I'm assuming Love, so that would mean LMA to the Cavs and then Denver gets Love and sends Cleveland a young player to add to what they get from the Spurs. I think that could work. I guess it depends on what Denver is willing to give up if they want K-Love.

Denver doesn’t need or want Love. They have Milsap

, I forgot they signed him. I just wiped that signing because I thought Millsap was way overpaid. IMO before the Millsap signing they definitely wanted Love or someone similar based on the money they gave Millsap.

I believe that's his middle name. His full name is Gimme Dave Some .

Nuggets dont need LMA. Cavs apparently don't want LMA, although I would think Love and LMA front court is good with Lebron. Nuggets want to offload Faried. Cavs wouldn't want Faried.

It is still possible to trade Green+Murray+Bertans+Anderson to get Irving. The contracts match. The Cavs best trade junk asset is Frye who has 7mil expiring. So the Spurs will need to find a team that is willing to get rid of a longer contact that the Cavs would want or a player the Cavs want for just one year. And if LMA is included, then we absolutely must get back a big who can play major minutes, as we just don't have any outside Gasol.

Spurs have nothing the Cavs want. Irving will most likely go to Phoenix for Bledsoe

Cavs want Kristaps Porziņģis

[John Petrucci]

So hilarious how LeBron has controlled the outcomes of so many players' careers just being LBJ. His teammates just as much as his opponents. LBGM doing what he does.

Cavs want Kristaps Porziņģis

Good luck with that. Unicorn is going to be an MVP caliber player some day. Just get Melo tf out of there.

It would make LMA the third or fourth option, which he is much better suited for at this point.

[Chillen]

Is there a way for the Spurs to land Kyrie Irving without giving up LMA? Irving, Leonard, LMA, Gasol, Rudy, Manu could make some noise.

[vander]

I don't follow other teams much. Is Kevin Love considered to be better or worse than LMA?

He's an allstar but LMA gonna win you games. Love has always been a choker leading in minny. I'd rather have LMA than Love. That's just me.
