If Bron stays...

Memphis gets Batum, JR, Hill, Thompson, 8 and 11

Charlotte gets Love, Clarkson

Cleve gets Conley, Gasol, Parsons, Zeller

memphis could hesitate despite getting 2 really good picks, batum may be slightly better than parsons but their contracts are basically identical next two years but batum has a 27 mil po for 20/ 21 which he would be crazy to turn down.
its questionable for charlotte too, depends on how they value future v present.

I agree with your point about Batum, you could just do the deal w/ out Charlotte and Memphis would get Love instead of Batum and 11. With Hill and Smith both having team options in 2019, they could be very attractive trade pieces next summer.

I think getting 3 lottery picks might be enough to take on Batum, as you said he is better than Parsons.

If Memphis is rebuilding, I actually like taking on Batum. He's a good guy and a solid locker room presence. He has a horrible contract, but it's not like he'd be a major cancer. That said, Memphis buys out JR Smith instantly, because he would absolutely become a distraction and a cancer.

cavs could make better trades then this. what happens if conley gets injured then lebron is back having to do all the work and loses to gsw again or maybe even the celtics. lebron needs more reliable players.
