Can we safely say Cavs are better without Love?

Yep

amnesty/trade him next season

Target Dwight/Gasol or look for a DMC trade

i don't think it's that obvious. Kyrie, Lebron, and JR just made a lot more shots and it's easier to play defense against a defeated team.

imagine if they kept wiggins...

Going to be awkward when he comes back next game.

[DMAVS41]

no, but the Warriors are just a nightmare for Love. bringing him off the bench for 16 to 20 minutes a game against the 2nd unit would still be plus ev for the Cavs imo.

way better .. theyre actually athletic w/ jefferson or shump out there in his place

LeBrons a power forward, Loves a power forward. Somethings gotta give.

[MP.Trey]

Honestly. I'd keep RJ in the starting lineup and if it keeps working I may never play Love again, even if he passes protocol. It's just a matchup thing, we have a lot of defensive versatility out there with RJ, LeBron and TT.

It's too small of a sample size to say for sure. We're a lot better of a basketball team if Love is playing and hitting his shots but he's damn near a liability if not and this stage may be too big for him being his first time here.

Love is gone next season if they lose

50/50 if they win

[FashionIssues]

channing frye is him. that's the game he insists on playing anyway. spot up dude that got away with a max

[Im Still Ballin]

Getting Gasol or Howard and getting rid of Love would help this team dramatically

[LilEddyCurry]

Imagine if they traded him for Crowder, Olynyk and Smart...

[AcquiringSteak]

I bet a reporter is going to ask him about it, and Lebron is going to shut him/her down

[DMAVS41]

Imagine if they traded him for Crowder, Olynyk and Smart...

That was never on the table...was it?

I thought the Celtics offered a joke package that the Cavs laughed at.
