Will The Cavs Make a Major Move At The Trade Deadline?

[CavsFanJapan]

I said yes but....We take salary and a pick and get rid of Walton and some D-league talent from our bench. Depending on who that player is, it could be major. Andy is always in the talks but it will come down to how desperate a team is and what they offer or who gets hurt (either Andy or a key player on another team). But make no mistake, we will be in a lot of rumors and if the deal is not good, CG ain't making it.

Several guys become trade-eligible Saturday — Kirk Hinrich, Nate Robinson, Vlad Radmanovic, Nazr Mohammed, and Marco Belinelli. Robinson and Hinrich have been borderline essential in Derrick Rose's absence, and Belinelli has shot the lights out of late in Rip Hamilton's starting spot. The Bulls have a $5 million trade exception, but they're more than $3 million over the tax line and will likely work to cut costs.

Actually a bunch of guys across the League become trade eligible on Saturday. I find the Chicago situation interesting for the Cavs. They are 3 mil over the luxury tax line and could be willing to dump a few players. Could the Cavs land a pick or perhaps a young prospect like M. Teague if they take on Rip Hamilton and the 1 1/2 years still owed on his contract?

There has been a low moan in the rumor mills that Eric Gordon will be available for the right price. He has a lot of emotional baggage and questionable knees, but imagine a young back court of Irving, Gordon, and Waiters off the bench... It gives reason to pause.

He is the Grady Sizemore of the NBA. No thanks.

I would prefer to stay far, far away from Gordon. Let Phoenix overpay his bum ass.

Wasn't Rip Hamilton specifically saying he would never play for Cleveland like a year or two ago?

I'd like us to kick the tires on a Wilson Chandler trade. It would have to be centered around Walton's expiring contract but I think Chandler would be a nice fit and provide us with a legit sized starting SF. He's nothing extraordinary but in my opinion is an upgrade over our current options. He is having a down year across the board and is not getting ton of burn in Denver right now. Just a thought...

After reading Kevin Love's comments about the Wolves front office, I think we should try to make a move on him. If Ferry is trying to shed salary for the Hawks to make a run at Howard and Paul, we could bring them in on a three way.

Hawks Trade: Horford
Hawks Receive: Gibson, Walton, Miami 1st, Cavs 2014 1st, 2nds, cash

Wolves Trade: Love, Barea
Wolves Receive: Horford, Sac 1st, Miami 2015 1st, 2nds, cash

Cavs Trade: Gibson, Walton, 2014 1st, 2013 & 2015 Miami 1st, Sac 1st, a bunch of 2nds and cash
Cavs Receive: Love, Barea

Cavs lineup:
Irving/Barea
Waiters/
Gee/
Love/Thompson
Varejao/Zeller

And you still have a decent amount of cap space to work with

A dream, I know...

chandler had a "down year" last year too. and the second half of the season before that, too. okay, he's just been awful since leaving new york...

so cavs give up the worst package yet get the best player involved in the trade....

worst package? I saw the trade proposal and thought 4 first round draft picks would be overpaying.

Like the Wolves would do that trade without our 2013 pick.

 

[The Process God]

Like the Wolves would do that trade without our 2013 pick.

Varejao, Zeller, and TT for Love. Love gets to be paired with a superstar and possible future all-star backcourt combo, and then we can draft our small forward of the future this off-season in Shabazz and then move up to draft one of the centers as well. Now we have the ULTIMATE stretch 4 big man. Timberwolves get a great player in Varejao and two young prospects. Win-win.

 

[Birdy89]

Those are largely crappy picks that would all fall out of the top 10.

You don't trade arguably the best power forward in the league and not even get that team's lottery pick back in return.

As someone else said, why would they pass on our top 5 pick (likely) this year for the 2014 pick that with Kevin Love on the Cavs would be in the high teens (we'd easily be a playoff team).

I applaud people for thinking out of the box, but if it is not realistic at least in theory it is a waste of time.
