You can never have too many PFs.

 

This is good for Cleveland IMO.  I like Thompson's hustle and two way game at his contract better than what Love will get.

 

But, this sucks also for Cleveland since they traded away a star in the making to bring in Love.

Thonpson-Mozgov wouldn't be a successful backcourt for 82 games. For LeBron to be most effective the 4 man should be a shooter as well, to open up the lane. Also, Thompson's D isn't that good (he's average) it's just better than Love's atrocious D.

I would take Thompson at his contract over the contract that Love is going to command.  That is all.  I do think Love plays better with Lebron than does Thompson, I'm just considering the financial implications.

Thompson declined a $13 million per contract. He is going to get paid by someone.

I'm not sure Kevin Love would come here, but if he did, would pairing him and Al Jefferson be a good fit for one another? 

For me, if he leaves Cleveland I think the Celtics or Lakers could be the landing spot for him. Imagine if the Lakers pull off a trade for Demarcus Cousins (eg #2 and Randle for DMC) and Love signs for them. Suddenly they have Clarkson, Kobe, Love, and Cousins as 4/5ths of their starting line up. All they'd need is to find a SF and their starting line up could be pretty competitive next season if they stay healthy.

Also, we should ask for Boston's first and Gerald Wallace for them to clear space in a Love sweepstakes.  

Are the guys not already up against the limit? Adding crashs 8 mill would unleash the tax nazis. It would add further insult to missing the playoff too.

yes.  I'm playing in fantasy land back when we had cap space. 

 

Instead we've now get 3 guys with 10+ mil salaries and not a single all star.

      I just wish the man would file his paperwork for retirement so he could get the accolades he so richly deserves form the Panthers and the NFL   He is being a damned knucklehead

      you can't turn Teddy Bridgwater into a gunslinger just because that's what you want.   It's DNA and tools.  It's pretty simple.   You can try to make the best of what you have though.  Trying to make it work, doesn't change what Teddy naturally is.  Remember, folks argued that silly one too.  But it's the same logic here.  It's like saying, you know what Jake.....let's no longer gamble.  That's over.  We are just taking the safe checkdown.  Get it out nice and quick.  Sure, it might work here or there. But eventually he gonna see 89 in triple coverage downfield and say fug it.    round pegs are round pegs.  round holes are round holes.  we have seen people trying to force them forever......but the saying exist for a reason.  They generally are what they are.   the Luke comment was just a fun nod and trying to wrap this up friendly, I was trying to largely let you off the hook on all of your very stern lectures of the Tepper era we are in.....and how horribly wrong you have been there about what was coming.  Guess you got the goldfish thing going on with all those.  I would too.
