James, Irving, and Waiters among others can more than carry the scoring load. Varejao, Thompson, and Bennett among others can rebound. This isn't Minnessota where there's no one else to score or rebound. We need depth and defense, we lose all that trading for Love. His skills are also diminished here because we already have players who can do those things. The Cavs need a rim protecter far more than anything else, and that sure as hell isn't Love.
James and Irving have a better chance of winning with a strong supporting cast and bench than they do with Love and nothing else.
Sure I'd Love to have Love as I've said, but not at the current price. We don't NEED him he's just a big luxury. Cavs are in Championship contention for the forseable future with or without him. Blatt has won everywhere he's gone, gets more out of less, his players always love him, and he's regarded as an offensive mastermind. I like our chances.
