That's actually not bad except Howard hating his life. But where doesn't he? lol I honestly don't feel the Cavs will trade any of the Big Three and trade to add around them and get another star or even two if they are lucky. Look for the Cavs to add Wade and Melo without giving up the big three. Melo through trade. Wade through FA if lucky, maybe more likely a reduced salary sign and trade.

As a Cavs fan, Wade on the bench would be amazing, but I don't see him opting out. In the wise words of Randy Moss, " Straight cash homie. "

How does Howard fit in here? He's not in Houston anymore.

Not sure who the Howard is (Dwight Howard left Rockets in FA to ATL last offseason) but salary doesn't work for Cleveland with Anthony making more than Love and Anderson making double what Shumpert makes not to mention Beverly and Capela's contracts. If Channing Frye is sent to Knicks it could work if Cleveland uses a trade exception.

That would be a very solid return on Love and Shumpert for Cavs. I like pickups of Beverly and Capela (only issue is he'll be expensive to keep around) but not crazy about the Anderson and Anthony part. Cavs biggest issues were on the defensive end (they weren't a good defensive team all season) and these are two great offensive players but liabilities on defense end. Love isn't much of a defensive player either (but he is a great rebounder) but I think if they deal him it should include a starting caliber two-way or primarily defensive sf/ pf.
