The Cavs aren't trading Larry Nance unless you make them an offer they can't refuse.  They love Nance.  He is clearly a guy they want to keep and they believe he can be their PF of the future.

In fact, the Cavs believe they have their long term starting 5 in Sexton, Garland, Okoro, Nance, and Allen.  And frankly, they may not be wrong.  Those 5 have the makings of being at least a very good team, if not a great one, in a few seasons.  Nance is obviously older than the other 4, but still young enough to be around for awhile in his prime.
Great team? How do you define a great team? Is Milwaukee a great team? Philly? Boston?
3 or 4 years down the line, I think they could be a contending team i.e. a great team.  I think winning playoff series and not being a true contender is far more likely, but they have a very nice young core built on top 10 draft picks.  There is clearly talent there.
That's a very political answer that avoided most of my questions.

a contending team is a great team.  That was the heart of your questions and I absolutely answered it.  Milwaukee is a contender.  Philly might be.  Boston is not yet.  My position on those things have been all over the forum.

I’m guessing this summer or more likely not at all, but I’m hoping this trade deadline.  We need another player, wing or stretch four.

I think we’re going to end up using it on a small acquisition. Like a Greg Monroe-level of player. Sounds sad but it’s the likely outcome

That’s depressing.
