Allen is probably waiting to see if we land Love. If we don't look like we can legit compete for a title not worth his time.

We need veteran leadership. James Jones has been in the playoffs multiple times. I don't care where they're from. Allen and Miller have both won in the playoffs.
We are not the Heataliers. We are trying to build a championship-winning culture that will rub off on players so they can carry the torch for the next 5+ years.
I'm fully aware this isn't a legit source. At all really. But I also know that these types of accounts often take snippets from other legit sources and pass them off as their own.
But I can't seem to find anything on this. Has anyone seen anything on the Cavs interest here?

It's not the Miami model at all. Miami had three superstars collude to play with each other, each by taking a shorter (and identical) extension that allowed them to all be free agents, conveniently, at the exact same time.
We drafted one of our stars (Irving), signed another in free agency (LeBron, although we also drafted him originally), and would be hypothetically trading for the third (Love) using the assets we've accumulated over the past four years. Our fourth banana (Waiters) is another guy drafted by us, as are Thompson and Varejao (who we technically didn't draft, but close enough). This is not Miami's model. It's closer to Boston's big three model (three stars plus homegrown guys) than anything Miami did, although our players are younger in this scenario.
If I'm remembering correctly, Brendan Haywood was a mentor to Blatche in Washington. I wouldn't discount the possibility of him joining the Cavs due to that.
One of The Bullshit Whisperer's more amusing posts.

See what I mean now Cleveland is every's itch
This is the kind of crap I am talking about we don't even need this DB.
Why Lebron wants to get rings for these clowns when he should be trying to eclipse them in total rings is a mystery to me.
