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.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
