Cavs inquired on Love, Aldridge and Gasols?

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I doubt we have what it takes to get Love but no doubt we should try. He won't remain in Minny. He'll probably eventually become a Laker. I'd think about including one of TT/Zeller (IMO, Zeller) in addition to Andy and Dion in a deal for Love.

The problem I have is that, if we give up literally everything we have to get Kevin Love, we're basically the Timberwolves in the East.

In my opinion you give up Varejao, our unprotected 2013 pick, and maybe Zeller and a couple of second-rounders. Is that enough to get Love? No idea, but selling the entire farm to get him gives us two good players, very little in the way of future draft picks (after all, we'd presumably be a .500 team or better next year), and no young players with any value aside from Kyrie and Love.
 
I'd give them Andy, Tristan, some filler, our 1st rounder this year and maybe an additional 1st rounder. That's about all I'd be willing to give up and I doubt they take that deal. I like Kevin Love, but not enough to gut our entire roster and give away all of our assets.
 
Maybe Grant called the Lakers on Gasol with the idea of moving him to another team? Just putting a couple of the names mentioned in this thread together

Cavs in: Kevin Love, Brandon Roy
Cavs out: Anderson Varejao, Luke Walton, Cavs 2013 #1, SAC #1

MIN in: Pau Gasol, Alec Burks, Cavs 2013 #1, GS 2013/2014 #1
MIN out: Kevin Love, Brandon Roy

UTAH in: Anderson Varejao
UTAH out: Paul Millsap, Raja Bell, Alec Burks, GS 2013/2014 #1

LAL in: Paul Millsap, Luke Walton, Raja Bell, SAC #1 pick
LAL out: Pau Gasol

I know, I know, 4 team trades are rarely ever done and 3 Western Conference teams with playoff aspirations would never deal with each other. Utah's already got a glut of bigs, so they wouldn't want Varejao to hedge their bets that both Jefferson and Millsap walk this offseason in Free Agency. The Lakers would be playing with fire because they promised Nash that Gasol would be there, a promise made before the team acquired Dwight Howard. David Kahn would want more than Gasol (a player he covets to placate his mancrush 'superstar' point guard) and a top 5-10 pick in this draft for a player he thinks is the 3rd or 4th best player on a championship team.
 
My god, LeBron, Kyrie and Love, what a fucking team that would be. Trade everybody to get it done Grant.
 
Sounds like the Cavs aren't too impressed with the 2013 draft class and make look to make a big trade to secure a big piece. Can't say I blame them though it will be nearly impossible to pry an all-star level young big from any team.

Cavs called on Pau to possibly dangle to Minnesota in a Love deal imo.
 
I'd Love to get Love. Huge fan of him. Its obviously unlikely, but nothing that dolt Kahn does would surprise me.
 
Love, Aldridge, or Marc Gasol would be incredible gets.
 
makes perfect sense for grant to inquire abou gasol. he finds out what they lakers want. if they want av at all and then he can shop gasol when he contats other teams.

He also gets it out there what he is expecting for av so it cuts down on shitty inquiries.
 
Insiders> Ghost of wine and Gold? AH I miss the old days. We would have 3 safaris open the night before Christmas!

See thing is, if Pau goes to the Wolves in a three way where we get Kevin Love and the Lakers get Andy, then the Lakers say forget it, we'll just take Kevin Love.

Only, they can't. They have virtually nothing else to add to the trade. Their cupboards are bare. We have other assets to add in. They don't. You don't get Love for Gasol without additional assets.
 
trading love for gasol + whatever else makes no sense.
