Without him, do they get any offensive boards? I agree, having him in changes Cleveland's spacing for the worse but he's a necessary piece most of the game, not a 6th man, not in this series.
What do you do with both of them in the future in terms of contracts, as well as playing time. TT turned down $13M- will you actually give him a Max deal??
Love, if he opts in, has the luxury of being a FA with the crazy cap that is coming up,and you figure James will time his contracts so he benefits when the cap goes up, too
Seems like you would eventually get rid of Love if you want to keep Thompson. If you have a healthy Irving, Mosgov, and a SG who can actually shoot as well as defend, Thompson would be a good fit, but you need some balance, IMO.
