2014-2015 NBA off-season Lebron goes home thread.
I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

But the Cavs can't trade Wiggins until 30 days.

Why?
Worst case scenario, the Cavs lose out on Love. Oh well. They keep three first round picks, groom two #1 picks, and have a ton of cap space to bring in a very good veteran. Bennett + Wiggins + a very good veteran is nothing to complain about. And they'd still have great trade bait in Waiters, Bennett, Thompson, and three first rounders. Why are people stuck on the idea that Love is the only very good veteran the Cavs can bring in the next 2 years? Best case scenario, the Wolves are bluffing and the Cavs see what they have in Wiggins and Bennett first. If they both suck, then give Minnesota a huge haul. If they both combine to be very good, that motivates them to keep them or increases their trade value. |

Because Gasol should only really be playing 25-28 minutes per game at this point. Love and Noah get starter minutes, Gasol gets most of the rest with Mirotic filling in the gaps. That's assuming Gasol is ok coming off the bench. Bulls would have issues on the wing if they let Butler go, but Tony Snell looked good in summer league. You just need him to defend and hit a few open looks.

Wiggins, Bennett, scrubs and a pair of 1st round picks for Love? That gets the money in range, but is there more as part of Minnesota forcing Martin into the package? |

With that trade KevB just posted it is only a matter of time for the Love trade to go down IMO.

And the fact that those 3 top five picks produced superstars such as Waiters/Thompson/Bennett speak to just how suspect first round picks can be when building a roster. There's absolutely no given that any first round pick the next three years actually enhances your team around LeBron. When you have guys like LeBron and Irving, you leverage the promise of first round picks to bad teams and get back proven vets that can actually help you win in the playoffs. 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....

I can't be the only one who thinks Love is somewhat overrated and not worthy of this much hype over being traded, right?
