I wonder if the Cavs will be smart enough to get rid of Love. He averaged 8.5 points and 6.8 rebounds in the finals. It is beyond obvious he doesn't belong. He is extremely overpaid. He is extremely overrated. He scored 51 points. He grabbed 41 rebounds. 27 of those rebounds were in 2 games. He scored in double figures twice.

It will be very interesting too see what the Cavs do there. On one hand, they could probably replace him with someone better suited for a reduced role, but his value is also at an all-time low. The return the Cavs would get this summer wouldn't be great. They might need to think about keeping him to start next year and hope he comes out of the gate strong, and then swing a deal sometime between December and the trade deadline. The risk there though is obviously messing with team chemistry midseason. It's an interesting situation.

Jeff Teague to Pacers, George Hill to Utah.

Didn't give up our 20th pick. So like a power forward has to be the pick

Unless they get a quality starter/6-7th man this would be a bad move. Or maybe they could package it for a rotation player and move back a few spots.

I was hoping they'd go after Malik Beasley before the Teague trade. Now, it's almost certainly a big.

Malik Beasley is a SG so they still could. I'd like to see them trade Ellis for another pick.

20th pick for Thaddeus Young.

[KingPG21 6,587]

Kind of hope we throw a good amount of money at Bazemore. We need shooting and he hasn't been that bad

Courtney Lee would be a nice fit for the backcourt. Shooting and D.

So the Pacers signed Al Jefferson. I guess whatever, better not take reps from Turner, I'll be selling pitchforks if that happens

Got him for decent money, all things considered. I assume he's supposed to providing scoring off the bench? Doesn't really fit style-wise.

It'll give them a legit scoring threat off the bench finally. He isn't starting. I'm thinking Teague, Ellis, George, Young and Turner. But should be huge help off the bench if anything.

There's almost no chance he signed with the Pacers to not start.
