*My first post so be easy on me*
Interesting stat I came across is Defensive Win Shares (DFS). Cavs have 1 player on their roster within the top 75, LBJ (73). GSW have 5 within the overall top 20. Simply put, the Cavs need to rebuild their identify on the defensive-end in any Kyrie/Love trade. Here's my best shot.

Cavs get: Dragic (53), Winslow (4), Tyler Johnson (31), Rodney Hood (37), D. Favors (67), D. Exum (116) *waive Frye
Miami gets: Irving, Shumpert, Jefferson
Utah gets: Love, Felder
Cavs add depth, size, and defense at their wing positions to match-up with GS. We get our coveted blue-chip pieces in Hood, Winslow, & Exum. The primary reason our offense flat-lined when Bron would rest is because we had no one who could create their own offense outside of Irving. In this scenario, we would have multiple ball handlers / scorers to keep teams honest. Defensively we become much more athletic & versatile. Lastly, Gilbert saves 10M in salary & 40M in luxury tax.
Miami adds a superstar in Irving as a team who was on his wish list & they get to keep Whiteside.
Utah gets to reunite Love & Rubio, & they get the perfect PF to compliment Gobert.
Who says no?
Dragic, Rose, Exum, Calderon
Hood, TJ, JR, Korver
Bron, Winslow, Osman
Favors, Green
TT, Tavares (waive for Bogut)
