Another poster mentioned this last night and at first I didn't think it was likely.

But the more think of it, he brought up a great point!

What if the Cavs offered the no 1 pick for Kevin Love?

Say the complete offer was Dion Waiters, Tristan Thompson, Varajeo's expiring and no 1 pick for Love and Kevin Martin.

Wouldn't Minny jump all over that?

Also, wouldn't Love consider signing long-term in Cleveland with Kyrie already there?

And then, wouldn't Lebron look at returning to Cleveland as a more legitimate possibility to play alongside Kyrie and Love (if they had the cap space to do such a thing)?

Just wondering...

I don't think LeBron is going anywhere near that ownership/front office situation.

It's up to Kevin.

If you were Kevin, would you agree to this?

Snyder? Lol. That's football.

No one thought James would go to Miami either... Who knows with Lebron.

Kevin Love will not go from the Wolves to the Cavs. He wants to be in a winning organization.

Two years ago, I thought it was shaping up for a Lebron return.  But then the Cavs drafted a combo guard with the fourth pick while Drummund was available.

Again last year, I thought it was still possible, but then the Cavs outdid themselves by drafting a chubby guy with asthma and sleep apnea with the first overall pick. 

There's no way Lebron is returning.

The Cavs don't need Kevin Love to attract Lebron, who plays more PF these days anyway.

Irving, Waiters, Deng?, Embiid/Wiggins would either attract Lebron or nothing would.

It's insane the starting lineup that could've been for CLE if they had drafted better the past few years and what they could add next month.

Of course, if they drafted better, they could very well not have been in the same situation as they now stand or were in last year.

Btw, could the Cavs afford to offer LBJ a max contract?
