Right now everyone is focused on whether or not we should send Mr. Wiggins to Minny for Kevin Love. It is one heck of an argument on either side with LeBron's wishes probably trumping everything. I think the Cavs should look at the immediate future in other ways besides K-Love or bust. I'd love for the Cavs to look at possibly trying to obtain a guy like Paul Millsap instead. With the team we have, LBJ and Kyrie are going to be the two headliners and both will be making huge money and taking up a large part of the offense. A guy like Millsap would do much of the same things Love could and demand a lot less money and allow us to keep Wiggins and some of or other young guys. Mr. Millsap just goes to work every night and gets buckets and rebounds. He is a true pro and has played well in the playoffs. The guy is tough as nails and would be a great teammate. There is only one basketball and with LeBron, Kyrie and Wiggins, you will need someone that does not need the limelight but delivers what is needed every night. The inclusion of a guy like Millsap would also allow us to possibly obtain a rim-protecting big man. The LBJ, Kyrie, K-Love triumvirate will quickly put is in salary cap hell and make it difficult to get the pieces we need besides a lot of old men.
I can't imagine that there is much of a downside of having Paul Millsap and Andrew Wiggins as compared to Kevin Love. While I do believe that Love is better than Millsap, I'm not sure that the gap is as wide as some may think. Love certainly won't average 26 points on a team with Kyrie and LeBron. He may get 18 and 11. Millsap could get 15 and 9. Wiggins could get 12 and 5 and play D on the perimeter and grow into possibly a better Scottie Pippin under LeBron's tutelage. These are the things that I think the Cavs should consider. Love is a hell of a player based on his stats. Millsap is a straight up hoss and a leader. I have a hard time believing the Cavs would be better short run or long run with a maxed out Kevin Love over a reasonably priced Paul Millsap and an Andrew Wiggins on rookie scale.
I know this is up to LeBron but I'd at least talk to him about the option. My guess is Millsap could be had for Bennett and a first rounder or possibly Dion and Haywood.
