I'm still interested to see what Cleveland does with their roster. When u look at the team - it's a lineup of over-leveraged players on terrible contracts.. but there is a lot of talent that can help any team:

Kevin Love, Larry Nance, Jordan Clarkson, JR Smith, Tristan Thompson and Kyle Korver

Love OR Nance could really be a huge help for us if we move any of the PFs or Cs on our team. Throw in MKG for good measure since we are heavy on Wing players.

Revisiting this, it really is a solid proposal.

I'd even replace our 2nds with a top 20 protected first round pick (maybe even lottery protected only).

Batum has stated that he will be moving back to small forward and unless the Hornets plan on having Bridges ride the pine pony a move needs to be made to free up some room.

If a deal like this went through, a potential first and second unit could like like this:

PG: Kemba, Parker

SG: Lamb, Monk

SF: Batum, Bridges

PF: Parker, Marv

C: Zeller, Hernagomez 

9-12: Bacon, Biyombo, Graham

Two-Way: Macura

Additionally, the Bucks would look like:

PG: Bledsoe, Jennings

SG: Middleton, Brogdon

SF: MKG, Snell

PF: Giannis, Frank

C: Lopez, Henson

9-12: Teletovic, Dellavedova, Maker

Nobody would say no except the Bucks. Our best bet if Bucks want cap relief would be: 

Frank, Lamb, 2-2nds+ Trade Exception for Parker but even that I don't think the Bucks would do. Also don't know if we could do that and resign Kemba next year. 

OP sorry but this is a dream, unrealistic trade IMO

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
