I do think that Favors and Hood would be a great fit with Cleveland. It would refresh the roster. I just feel that Cleveland wants to keep any current valuable player. Crowder could be very valuable come playoff time and it would be silly to trade him for Favors and/or Hood this soon. I just feel like this trade is so much better for Cleveland:

Frye, Osman, Calderon and Brooklyn's 1st
for
Favors and Hood

The Brooklyn 1st probably won't end up being better than a top 10 pick. Hood by himself is worth a top 10 pick in my opinion to a team like Cleveland who will pay whatever it takes to keep a contender around LeBron. A rookie vs a 25 year old averaging 16 per game - LeBron takes the 25 year year old every single time.

Lmao. Stop it.

yeah, I listened to it this morning. Locked was a bit douchy, throwing Tony under the bus. There are several reliable sources confirming the Jazz is actively looking to trade Hood (and no, is not only semantics as Locke suggested). He will be traded if there is a good offer on the table

Locke is one of, if not the biggest douches in all of sports media.

And Mitchell!
Jazz are always very quiet when it comes to trade discussions.. DL translates to "Down Low." So I'm sure the Hood leak did not sit well with Utah and Locke, as Lindsey's media lackey, went into full-on damage control. I'll bet the leak came from Hood's agent. He wants to force a trade. Remember, nothing happened with Kanter until Enes and his agent went public. I'll bet Hood has been asking for a trade since the day Quin sent him to the bench. I would in his position; he wants to get paid and he's not going to be valued as highly as a 6th man.

Hood being a RFA is going to diminish his value - he'll be very expensive to keep. But I think Jazz can at least get a late first for him. What contender wouldn't want a scoring wing? Would a pick in the 20's be enough for Chicago to then trade Mirotic?

He doesnt have the make up to be a star that much is clear. Everytime hes had the opportunity he literally ***** himself.

Hes just a good peice on a good team.

I don't think they put them over the top. I do think its the best they can do with a #10 pick and worthless players. Frye, Osman and Calderon are not any kind of a solution. #10 in 2018 doesnt help Cavs win for 2 years.

Adding two starting quality NBA
players for #10 is good business when you have the best player on the planet.

Youre an idiot if you think an expiring Favors and Hood is the best they can get for that brooklyn pick.

You can convince yourself of quite a bit when you are about to lose Lebron. When you look back at the HAyward thing it was pretty clear that he was likely gone, but DL still did all this stuff to try to keep him. I agree that from the outside it looks like Lebron is certainly leaving, but maybe from the inside they believe they can do enough to keep him there.

Maybe, but that is not any of the news leaking out about what Cavs are planning. I posted the link where they talked about it in great detail. They are pretty adamant they are not trading that pick unless it nets them a player that Lebron demands and Lebron agrees to return for at least one more year.

Yeah I guess we'll see how much of that is posturing when they can't get one of those guys. Maybe Lebron subtly hints he would like some more help after a loss and they cave. It's happened before although with a different GM.

Sure, we can chase that pick, along with lots of other things. I would be happy if we got it but I think its very unlikely. I think getting the trade I proposed is much more likely and I would be happy ending up with Mirotic and Crowder.

They could also do better than Favors and Hood for that pick.

That’d be an absolute dream.
 
We are fans - we don't know anything. We can purely speculate. The Cavs should and will do everything possible to build around what they currently have.

Unless a Gasol, Paul George or other really good player comes available, there aren't really great players available via trade. So the Cavs will trade either their pick or Brooklyn's. Its inevitable. Those are the only assets they have that they can afford to lose, and neither pick is a franchise changer.

Even if they decide to trade Love, I don't think there are many buyers out there for him. Who has what Cleveland needs AND wants Love?

I disagree. People are inflating the value on that pick. Even if the roster improves enough to make it to another Finals, that pick is worth trading. For as much as people want to dream that is a top 3 pick, its not. If Cleveland is worried about losing that, they could protect it.

Hell, the Cavs could trade us the Brooklyn pick and **** expirings for Favors and Hood. They could put a top 7 protection on it. For the Cavs, getting 2 NBA starter quality players is more important than hoping a #8-12 pick is worth a crap. Their window is slamming shut and they need players.

All the BS happening there makes it much less likely they trade that pick.

Bruh it ain’t happening. LBJ is leaving that pick helps them rebuild.
 
There are 2 franchise fan bases pleading for a trade right now - Utah and Cleveland. I would be an irate fan on either side if no deal is done regardless of the size. Not necessarily with Utah and Cleveland directly, but both teams need to make a deal.

Don’t worry — it there’s no trade we’ll have plenty of people saying that there must have just not deals out there, that they didn’t want to compromise the future by trading valuable assets, that we didn’t want to sacrifice valuable cap space by taking back bad contracts, that nobody was offering anything good, and rationalizing that Mirotic just isn’t that good anyway and playing up how the entire franchise sided with Portis.

With every loss we have less reason to pony up for Niko. Dude is being a good soldier right now and we may end up getting him for seconds at the deadline or he will tank his value second half of the season because he’s pissed and we get him this offseason.

Just listened to dunc’d in podcast talking about him and I’m fairly convinced we strengthen our position on that one by waiting.

We will make a deal but it likely won’t be until a day or two before the deadline... every team is in a holding pattern right now.
 
I think we need to pull the bandaid now. We are heading for a catastrophic path to the deadline.

Trade JoeJ and Hood to Cleveland for Frye, Osman and their pick (not the Brooklyn pick). Yes, we only get Osman and a late first for Hood but we move on.

Then trade Favors and Burks to Atlanta for expirings.

Just clean house, pick up Osman, get a late 1st, and open up cap room for summer we can play with.

I’m trying to temper my expectations but I wouldn’t be surprised with one small move that really makes no sense, like trading Jerebko for a 2021 second round pick and then buying out Joe Johnson.
