Anyone feel like the Celtics got a shot at making the finals next year by drafting Fultz?

Lakers/Celtics 30 for 30 looks![]()
crazy to think that three decades from now, they'll be making a 30 for 30 about GSW/CLE. after all the gamesmanship and chess matching is gonna lead to the following roster constructions
steph
klay
kd
dray
anthony davis
vs
kyrie
harden
kawhi
bron
KAT
I think you forgot that lebron doesn't play on superteams
Imo Cavs need a 3 and D starting 2 that can play the 3 with major emphasis on the defense.
dudes like Danny Green or Rodney Hood would be perfect for CLE. pesky defenders on and away from the ball and better with the shot selection than Swish

Agreed. Jr and shumpert would have been an ideal tandem. But the truth is, they just aren't very smart players. I think the Cavs should let shump go, demote Jr to 6th man and look for another 3 and D player. A player that can focus on Durant next year and allow LeBron to be a floater again.
Jimmy butler for love and others would be good for both teams. Not sure if the bulls would be interested though.
Maybe the thunder would be interested in moving roberson and/or taj gibson (not for love)
Keep Kevin love far from Houston
You're going to have JR/Shumpert replaced by lesser versions before plus versions.
You're not going to get a lot of guys who buy into playing off the ball, that can shoot and defend, because there aren't a lot of those guys.
I'm not saying there aren't a lot available or willing to join LBJ.
I'm saying there aren't a lot, period.
KLove's stock is at an all-time low after these finals. dude is out here lookin like a sega dreamcast in a world of PS4s and whatever xbox is out. no one is going to trade their #1 or #2 for klove after his pathetic showing and houdini act in the finals. bulls and indiana aint getting fleeced for him
if i'm cleveland, i hold onto him and make it a point of emphasis to make him look good during the first half of the season. as the trade deadline approaches, SELL HIGH

Kevin love avg 16ppg and 11reb and shot 38% from 3. And took most of Tristan Thompson's crunch time mins at the 5.
Imo, he had a pretty good series.
But hey...i respect your opinion. If you say so.
I don't think there is a gm in the league that doesn't believe he can't be 25/11 again easy. ask the spurs if they'd trade aldrige straight up for love...
his point average is inflated by two games. we all watched the finals and it was obvious that besides game 4, KLove was an absolute nonfactor most of this series. i agree with someone who stated before that his skillset is/was under-utilized with this cleveland cavs team. how they have him camped out on the perimeter instead of playing in the post more frequently, which he showed he could do in in minnesota, is a complete tragedy and a waste of his ability.
but whether or not his offensive skills aren't being properly used in Cleveland, it's obvious that he has a lot of defensive deficiencies. for a big, he is piss poor at protecting the rim and it was obvious by how many driving lay ups steph got in game 5 with Love being late to the basket on help defense. also, in an era where you have more and more stretch 4s, Love needs to be able to guard bigs along the perimeter, and we saw time and time again dude was slow to react on drive and kicks and closeout on KD/Iggy/Dray from the corner.
it's gonna take a lot for a GM to part ways a with player like jimmy or PG for Love after his abysmal play, even if it wasn't entirely his fault.

Kevin love pts/reb by game
Btw
game 1 15/21
Game 2 27/7
Game 3 9/13
Game 4 23/5
Game 5 6/10
He had 3 really good games and his 2 bad games are a big reason why Cleveland lost the series. Even in those games, he still did his job on the glass.
