Conley - Love swap

[Vintage Jazz]

Cavs do this ias Conley is expiring asset in a total rebuild, while Kevin has three years left.
Love can help Jazz as a better inside-outside scorer & rebounder. Not a good defender though. Rudy would be needed. Risky business it fits for salary and may improve the team.

If we are gonna just nose dive into the luxury tax for 3 years then I’d prefer Tobias Harris. At least he comes equipped with a couple assets.

I think Love would be a good fit but I'm not touching that awful contract.

I agree Kevin Love is way too injured. Not to mention they would have to give the Jazz assets. They don't have a lot of assets to give. Maybe a future first heavily protected. I don't see them giving up Osman, Garland, or Sexton. Not sure Kevin Porter is worth it.

Philly has some better fringe players that could help the Jazz

Woof!!!

Nope, we need young and durable, not old and injury prone.

I think it's a pretty fair trade - but guards have more value in today's NBA. Love would help with our REBOUNDING troubles.

They are both older and injury prone, but the Jazz would giving away a GUARD (more value) and an EXPIRING CONTRACT (more value) to pay Kevin Love 30 million per season as he turns 33, 34 and 35. That being said, his game (3 pointers and rebounding) should be able to be sustained relatively well over the next 3 years. I could see stats going from 17 and 8 to 20 and 9 (his first season back with a winning team and having something to play for) or downgrading slightly to 16 and 7, 14 and 6 and 12 and 5 over the life of his contract.

With that in mind, Cleveland would have to give us incentive to do this deal - throw in Cedi Osman and a 2nd round pick (or a pick swap option).

I have to add that Blake Griffin might be the better fit. He's only 1 year younger, but he gives you more energy on defense.

This.

Didn't we already do this one? Are we already fully recycling these ideas and pretending they are new? Man the draft can't come fast enough.

Who would spend that kind of time on here to know about a repeat conversation

I’m not taking a bad contract for three more years for one that’s only a year more. I want financial flexibility.

Pay him the $34M now and let him walk next year. We can use that money to put a team around Donovan vs. the island of misfit toys.

Well visit about once per week and you'd be caught up. It's not rocket surgery.
