Nuthin concrete, but since it's basically the offseason - I figured I'd post

If we do that give them Nic Batum also.  Lol Lebron like the vets, but I doubt they'd take on that much salary.  I think Lebron is gonna bolt though after the finals. As much as it pains me  I'd actually have to pull for Cleveland if they get back to the Finals, cause I'd love to see Kemba get a ring.

If this is done I hope we ask for another asset like Hood or even George Hill with 8.  This puts a ton of pressure on the draft...really gotta hit this time.  I hate to see Kemba go but if we can't resign him this is a good move.

The only way Cleveland does this is if they know Lebron is coming back. Otherwise, it's a dumb move for them.

 

Depends

The #8 spot isnt guaranteed to be a star.

 

2017 Markkanen was a stud

But let look at some others

2016- Marquese Chriss

2015- Stanley Johnson

2014- Nik Strauskas

2013- Kentavious Cauldwell Pope

2012- Terrence Ross

2011- Brandon Knight

2010- Al Foruq Aminu

2009- Jordan Hill

2008- Joe Alexander

2007- Brandon Wright

 

 

Do you take a risk at that or grab a Proven All-Star PG?

Adding a All-Star PG may help persuade Lebron into staying in Cleveland.  Without it, might not.  Remember he likes the more proven guys. Remember Kevin Love trade for the #1 pick Wiggins plus some.

And say he does leave.  You still have a All-Star PG that can still win some games with those pieces.  If not, its going to be another "process".

If its something, a piece, that would make Lebron happen and persuade to stay.  Theyll trade

 

Remember, this is the same team and owner that traded the #1 pick, the #1 pick from the previous year, and a solid role player for Kevin Love to make Lebron happy

Who can walk away at the end of the season. So they could end up trading a lottery pick for nothing.

1st of all we would need the Cavs to win a game or 2 to give Lebron hope they are only a player (Kemba) away from competing for the title. 

That said I would do it because I am in the camp of tear it down and start over but the problem is Cleveland doesn't have the cap space or players for them to take any of our bad contracts. I tried to find a way to take one of Batum, MKG, Cody, Marvin and it doesn't really make sense. 

Kemba + Julyan Stone for #8 Clarkson & Nance. That is the best package we could get which I don't like at all. 

Other potential Kemba trades; 

With 76ers Kemba for Fultz + #10 (Would 76ers want to give up on Fultz?)

With Knicks Kemba for Ntilikina + Lance Thomas + #9  (Heavy price tag for NY who are somewhat rebuilding)

With Suns Kemba + Marvin for #16 Chriss or Bender + #1 Bucks pick next year fillers

Why are a lot of fans ok with giving up the best player we have ever had? 

Don't think any of us are ok with doing it. We just feel like the ultimate goal of any organization is to compete for the championship and we can't do that without a complete rebuild. We have a bunch of horrible contracts and our best player is about to get paid. We will treadmill the 7-11 seed if we resign Kemba. We trade him our rebuild can get a jump start with additional picks and we will probably suck next year getting a higher pick.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
