Lue has been putting Nance at the elbow a lot. If he can focus on Love-centric bench lineups where he gets those touches it'll be a welcome sight.

Agree but what do you mean at the elbow though? You mean screens, rolling to the basket and doing dirty work inside? i think that's Nance's natural game not specifically the coaches strategy. He isn't a spot shooter so there's no temptation on Lue's part to have him parked behind the arc. In addition if one of TT/Nance is on the floor, Love will be behind the arc to avoid spacing problems

A lot? It was one game. I doubt nance even knew where he was suppose to be. He played the elbows a lot in LA so he probably just went were it felt natural. Gives him nice running start for rebounds and dunks.

What is it with this board and semantics. A good majority of his possessions he was at the elbow. Does the word "a lot" so grievously offend your sensibilities?
 
Call me crazy but I would love if Zach Randolph and Tyson Chandler got bought out and came to the Cavs.

You would have the bigs of

Love/Nance/Randolph
Tt/Chandler/zivic

That's a dope group of bigs to mix and match to throw at other teams.

Factor in guys like lebron and green playing fours and fives while guys like cedi play a four just the whole roster would be amazing.

You could even have Randolph play they back up five in some situations.

Chandler gives you that classic defensive minded 7 footer.
Randolph gives you that veteran leadership and grit. Along the lines of a David west for Golden State.

While Randolph isn't what he once was having him in your line up of bigs wouldn't be a bad option.

He has three point range and could easily play a small ball 5.

More than anything I think the veteran presence and the toughness these guys could bring would be another huge boon to add on after we just added so much youth.

We added appt but we still don't have a rim protector, an nba ready 7 footer, or an enforcer.

Who would you rather have as your gritty five fouls goon off the bench, Randolph or Perkins.

Plus if you add Chandler you get your seven foot rim protector you get even more veteran presence.

We already have our young bigs in tt zivic and Nance. Bring in Randolph and Chandler as your tough, change of pace, mentor bigs and I think that adds a whole new dimension to this team
 
Yep how could you not think of it with JR's heave last game? Him throwing outlets to Clarkson and Nance? Wow
 
I’ve been thinking about Love’s HoF chances in recent days. Basketball reference has a calculator which has him at a 68% chance currently. The calculator predicts one’s HoF chances if one retired TODAY. For context: LBJ, Wade, Nowitzki, Paul, Durant, Bosh, Howard, Curry, Westbrook, Anthony, Harden are virtual locks at 100% to 98%. With Vince Carter, Tony Parker, and Pau Gasol are sitting at roughly 95%. Joe Johnson at 50%. John Wall at 30%. Draymond Green at 15%.

He’s a 5x all-star and 2x all-NBA without the biggest accolade, MVP. These things don’t matter to me really, but voters aren’t the smartest people. I don’t think he’d really have a chance if he retired today but I think he can become a lock if he does a few things. If we don’t win another ring (with him healthy and contributing)I think he either needs a few more all-star appearances. If we do with a ring and he’s integral, I think one more all-star game may do it. Health will also be a big factor. He needs a few more 70 game campaigns to improve the reliability factor.

All in all the move to the Cavs - despite the usage cut and the fan/media assassination (KLove has been exposed without 30+ usage on a bad team!) - has really bonafide Love’s career. He’s been an all-star 2 of 4 years in Cleveland and won a ‘chip.

Look at the list of names in the HoF. Love would absolutely be a lock if he retired today.

If Carmelo is 98%-100% to make the HOF then Love is a LOCK. I understand Melo has been an efficient scorer and made multiple all star teams but he’s never even gotten close to sniffing a title.
