The positive is that he's physically improved every year as a Cav. I'm not as worried about that. He's just gotta be stronger under the rim.

He's just gotta get the ball. That's all, and he'll be fine.

Not too worried about that, we are seeing guys play longer and longer because of how they take care of their bodies.
Guys like VC and RJ looking spry in their late 30's.
LeBron will obviously tail off but I don't think it's because his body will break down.
He still has another 2-3 years of peak IMO and then mid 30's you'll see him start to lose a step.
Still routinely blows by defenders at 32 though. He's going to have to slow down quite a bit before he starts being ineffective given how good his first step still is.
Kyrie+TT to NYK for Melo, Porzingas, and Hermangomez
Love to Portland straight up for Lillard
Works in trade machine.
Gives Dan two future players in Lillard/Kristaps
Gives Lebron his buddy.
Gives Portland hometown boy, saves Cleveland from being viewed as team that promised Love only to send him packing.
Opinions? Who says no?
Replaces Kyrie with similar player. Gives us more size with Porzingas, Hermangomez, and Melo. Increases our shooting.

Was asking for opinions, so appreciate feedback. Need to replace Kyrie and Lillard and Portland/Love connection seems doable.
Looking for a blend of making Dan happy for future on locked down youth and Lebron happy.

Welp. Our only hope now is that Kev and Ky have an MVP caliber leap in their game in the offseason...along with All-NBA defense...

GIMME MY FAT LOVE BACK PLZ!
If he works his ass off on scoring in the post/finishing through contact....maybe.
This is the first time Kyrie and Love directly felt the loss of a finals. Both were injured in 2015.
If they come back truly hungry and pissed off to become complete players. We got a shot.
It should piss them off that LeBron can't rest two friggin minutes without it going to hell. Time is now..
Didn't you know you have to trade Love, Fire Lue and blow this thing up? GS is unbeatable. Might as well just pack it up and not play for the next 5 years. Just give everything to GS...
