What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

trade this dude for a young, long wing that can create his own shot, so that Lebron can move to the 4 and the Cavs can go small. He had good success with that in Miami..

Yep.

Get Ryan Anderson and a wing from another team in a 3 team trade involving Love and Mo-Will or Mozgov.

Thad Young for Kevin Love.

NOW!

Cleveland takes the title if this happens.

Zach Lowe made this point, but he likely can't play starters' minutes in a series vs. GSW. He needs to minimize the amount of PT who has against lineups with Curry (and frankly Draymond).

The Cavs might be best off (specifically vs. GSW) by subbing Love out early and letting him play with/against bench heavy units. Let LBJ slide to the 4 and roll with TT/Mozgov as the center. If Mozgov is having a good game, maybe they play big with both TT and Mozgov. GSW's de facto backup PF is Barnes. Love can match up with him better imo b/c although he can shoot, especially from the corners, he's limited as a driver. Barnes is strong, but Love can probably do well against him operating from the pinch post.

Sounds like they would be better off with another player

Golden State abuses him the entire time he's in the game. Get him and Kyrie in a pick n roll and it's almost comedic.

Nick Young

Someone like Wiggins for example?

There's no perimeter defender in Cleveland that can make up for Loves porous pickandroll and perimeter D like rubio did in Minny
