I see some "fun" trade on here so here's some of my own .

CLE gets: DeMarcus Cousins, Ed Davis, Shabazz Napier

NO gets: Nets 1st Round Pick, 2nd Round Pick from POR, Mo Harkless, Jusuf Nurkic

POR gets: Kevin Love

Cleveland gets Cousins to help in playoffs and gives LeBron a big to try and keep him in town. If LeBron leaves, Cousins deal is expiring so they'll have over $40M in cap space between the two of them opening up. They also land the PG that LeBron wanted when he was in Miami.

New Orleans probably wouldn't do this trade because Cousins and Davis get along so well and they are in the playoffs picture right now. Nurkic would be a solid big man in return but they would have to resign him. Obviously the Nets pick would be the highlight return.

Portland lands Kevin Love to pair with Lillard and McCollum. May have to throw in their 1st round pick instead of the 2nd rounder.
**** hard to proof read in this little box, hopefully its easy to understand the points I was trying to make LOL ***.

i don't think portland would have much reason to be a part of this, they are giving up a bit too much to roll the dice on love and his 20+ mil a season working out next to dame+ cj especially with the diminished bench they would have after this trade.

Good point . they would definitely need a backup PG after a trade like this. Or have Evan Turner handle the ball more.

After rumors come out of Cleveland about Love; he will be a risk in any trade but he's still at talent who can score inside and outside. I think that could help Portland.
