I'd suggest Love is the best alternative in the short term. Maybe something else comes along in the next two years, but a bird in the hand....

KevB, I don't care about the three first rounders except that they are valuable trading chips. The Cavs still have options especially with the extra cap dollars they'll have by not signing yet another max contract guy. I don't see why the trade has to be Love.
