I think Cleveland is the best spot for him. They have the young talent to make it work. I would love to see him go to Cleveland and bring them a title.

It will be hard for the Cavs to have enough cap space to give LeBron a max deal AND trade for Love while still having enough decent players on the roster around their big three. In any event, if it happens, all sides will work things out simultaneously.

I think if we trade with the Cav's we need to have the 76ers onboard.

If we could end up with Wiggins and Young.

... Or we could just pocket Wiggins, Waiters and Thompson (Bennett sucks)... That's probably the right idea.

They're shopping Jack with a 1st round pick apparently. I'd think someone would be willing to take an overpaid PG with a 1st for nothing.

Doesn't mean anything is a done deal, but...

Cleveland has replaced Miami as my frontrunner to land LeBron James...

Dan Gilbert's private jet flew down to Florida today. Zydrunas Ilgauskas was on the plane as well.

If a deal with Cleveland and Wiggins were to materialize, I'd like to see Waiters and TT flipped for a PF.

Thompson's a lot better than this board gives him credit for. I feel like I'm the only one on here who knows it, though.

What does my statement have to do with my (or anyone else's) view of Thompson's abilities? I'm saying I'd like to condense 2 young talents into a better one. This roster needs to consolidate anyway.

Waiters doesn't have much value around the League. Talking to someone plugged into thing I was told that Waiters registers really high on the knucklehead meter. Tristin Thompson is a very nice young talent at the PF position. I can't see us turning him and Waiters into something better.
