for Kevin Love - and then we can have all the cap space in the world this off season.

Doesn't change the issue that Cleveland could clearly use both Chandler and Shumpert.

And that Sergey Karasev and Tyler Zeller were literally dumped for space this offseason. Zeller is killing it for the Celtics now. Karasev is starting for the Nets at SF. Both were former 1st rounders who just couldn't crack the rotation.

I'm still a believer that the Knicks could have ate some salary ( this might be an instance where you do it, you get a young center and wing with 1st round pedigree) and gotten out of the Shumpert situation earlier and have Zeller and Karasev now.

LBJ is a horrible de facto GM. (instead of finding a center in the offseason, made sure his buddy Mike Miller is on the team) Morey was pushing Asik for a first rounder in the offseason. Cavs could have gotten a better center rental, cheaper, and earlier. And what was the point of giving Varejao that contract if now you have to also pay Mozgov ( now he has giant leverage, you don't cough up two first rounders to let a guy walk) and get no value out of Tristan Thompson, who most certainly is gone now.

Just a poor use of assets overall by the Cavs.

+1

Jr and Shump. JR is our secred trojan horse of ruin. His disfunction will spread and Love will come to the tranquil meditation of the Knicks where he will blossom both as a man, human and basketball player!!!!

Namaste muthaphuchers!!!!!

And all exits lead to the 5-32 Paradise?

What I find interesting is that they do not really need a great offensive weapon. They could have used any defensive PnR Center FA to help their cause. There is only one ball and Love is already lacking touches. A Chris Anderson/Jeff Adrien type would have been great too imho.

They got their man though and a young Center than can develop eventually. Good for the Cavs and Good for Denver.

Jeff Adrien just go waived, so if they want to

They could land him assuming they have a roster spot available

Although they too today had to waive AJ Price for the second time this yr

I saw that about Adrien earlier. I Also, they might be waiving Price to not have his contract guaranteed. If he clears they can re-sign him on a 10-day.

Also, Mozgov is not really that Young either. Wow, time flies.

While Moz was an old rookie coming into the league he doesn't have tons of mileage NBA wise He's sat the pine quite a bit and had a couple injuries. He's spry now and will more than likely help the Cavs if he works on his hands and rebounding

Like I said I still like the trade for Cleveland under the circumstances they are under.

Wow, If Cole wasn't goofy. I wonder what his honest value is? I know what it really is and that is a good thing come this off season.
