Pursue Kevin Love Around the Draft?

[MDAV28]

Cleveland gets Melo
NY gets Favors, Diaw and our 2018 first
We get Love

Seems like a fair deal for us if we think Love makes us a contender.

Not sure if anybody would think Love would make us a contender. But, if you're planning to move on from Favors next offseason, you could do much worse than giving up a 1st round pick for Love.

I kind've feel like the Cavs would want Favors.

I think Favors and Exum gets it done. I think we'd have to do it. This is the best way to maximize Gobert's next 4 years.

I wouldn't add Exum as the Jazz or the Knicks. I think a 1st rounder would be more appealing for both teams.

I like Love much more than Favors, but he is older with a contract twice the size. Not many teams want him. NY gets $14 million in savings on this deal for this year, $26 for next year, a player in Favors who can fit next to KP for a run at the playoffs this season and a 1st.

I think Utah HAS to. Jazz have treated Favs miserably the last several seasons. Utah is generally tight-lipped when it comes to trades, but rumors have leaked every year about Favs being on the trade block. Must have been very close to happening when he posted his "blessing in disguise" and "adversity" tweets.

Favors fits great as Rudy's backup, but the two are less than ideal together offensively. Rudy is now a great P&R player. He wasn't two seasons ago when Favs had that role on offense.

1st would go to Cleveland. If NY could get straight expiring for melo they would do it.

I wish Cleveland had a GM so this could actually happen.
