Clippers can use a center that makes his free throws. Cleveland could use a SF to move James for stints at the 4 spot; not sure if J.Smith or L. Stephenson can help considering their reputation.

Bulls should get on this since Noah is out for the season

Boston as well.

[jayfan]

Not sure he's the piece they should be moving.

[Coach Eddie]

Hopefully this backfires.

[kennethgriffin]

tristan at center

lebron power forward

Cavs probably don't want to help the Bulls unless the Cavs get a steal. Bulls losing Noah is potentially one of the reasons why Cavs don't feel Mozgov is necessary anymore. They can now get through the East without a true big, and then they will better match up against the Warriors (and lose anyway).

That and he may want more money on upcoming contract. He can hit free throws and a hook shot. good rebounder just really clumsy.

Cavs need an athletic SF-PF that can cause havoc defensively. the issue is do you want Josh Smith or Morris on this team with other malcontents.

This.

They need a quality player, and they're not trading Love or Irving. So who else can they trade to get what they want? Cause they're not shopping Mozgov just to shift some salary.

Not sure how much "havoc" Josh Smith has caused since 2008

Morris, I understand, to some degree.

Lmao @ trading Mozgov. If this is another LeGM idea, it shows.


But I'd expect a little more from the executives that run this franchise. You already gave up Wiggins, now you're giving up one of the more decent big men in the league who can hit freethrows and mid range jumpers.

I don't think it's that.

Maybe more like they see that he's constantly getting stripped of the ball down low and how his finishing at the rim with little traffic has diminished.

Plus TT needs playing time to develop some post game scoring (besides lobs) Not sure he's coordinated enough to do so, though.

Huge risk but i see the cavs feeling reasonably comfortable that sideshow bob can last the regular season and Playoffs. So far, he's been pretty good when given minutes. He actually is a better finisher on his broken ankles than 2 healthy ones from Mozgof. Cavs don't make a trade if they don't feel Andy V is healthy for a run.
