If you are considering Joel Anthony, why not just play TT at center?This might have already been brought up but would Joel Anthony be of any worth to us?

I wanted Dieng over Karasev. I am starting to hate the Zeller trade a lot. Signing all these has been s from the Heat is making it worse. I really get the impression that Griff is going to trade all our young guys for vets.
We're going to run small and push the pace to take the center out of the game. The cavs aren't going to get a center.

I normally like your posts, but there are a lot of problems with this logic. Sure, Zeller looked like he can be a solid 3rd bigman. He wasn't traded because he is hopelessin Griffin's eyes, he was traded because he has value. Same with Karasev: I hate to say what Max has told me in confidence, but pretty much all last year Prokarov was trying to pry Karasev away from the Cavs. The Cavaliers hoped Karasev would develop in Cleveland, but they knew the Nets would treat him like a protected lottery pick if they ever needed to shake up the roster. Dieng worked out very well for the Cavaliers and he was certainly on the short list at the 19 spot, but Karasev, like Zeller, was crucial to shaking up the roster to get LeBron. Their development and value in the league was higher than you would think, which is why the Cavaliers still have the Memphis and Miami first round picks.
Here's a trade that I would recommend as an alternative to this Kevin Love deal.
Try to acquire DeAndre Jordan. Jordan is a double double big-bodied rim protector that is the leagues leading rebounder (I think).
You could offer Bennett, Haywood (and his special contract), a 1st round pick.
What do yo like better?
Lineup A:
Kyrie/Delly
Dion/Wiggins/Harris
LBJ/Miller/Jones
TT
Jordan/Andy
Or Lineup B:
Kyrie/Delly
Dion/Harris
LBJ/Miller/Jones
Love
Andy
