I'm not sure if its been floated yet - but I think this trade makes sense for both teams -

Kevin Love for Boogie Cousins

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nzdlfck

WHY: You get Kevin Love to go out West to play with Rondo and WCS and Rudy Gay. Sac Town gets a new face of the franchise. they'd be pretty mediocre but hopefully provides better spacing for WCS down low and Rondo to penetrate

WHY: Love is NOT the answer in Cleveland. Hopefully a Big 3 of Bron, Kyrie and Boogie can get it done against the GSW. The only drawback I see is having to have TT (a MAX player) on the bench. Have the Cavs play small ball with Boogie at the 5, and Bron at the 4.....

Thoughts?

This is actually the only trade idea I've ever read on this board that makes any sense, kudos.

I think it would take Love, Mozgov and future Cav's picks to even get the conversation started... Even then I don't think the Kings do it because they're the Kings and pairing a Big Man with Elite long range shooting with WCS, Rondo, and Rudy Gay makes too much sense.

Also, Tristan Thompson is trash, who cares if he's nailed to the bench?

Who is the elite long range shooter? I hope you don't mean Love. Come on man, Love is good but not elite. No way does he make Kings as good or better than Cousins, especially since the Kings real problem is defense. You're going backwards with Love and Love isn't taking that ride. Kings aren't any better than Wolves, what makes you think he will be okay with being there, he could have just stayed with the Wolves! If the kings can't take advantage of a talent like Cousins, they aren't going to do it with an inferior talent who will have the same gripes. If you're going from losing to losing you might as well do it with high picks of your own, Cavs don't have any. If it takes Super Lebron to make a team with Love and Mozgov good, what do you think a team with them but without him are going to do?

My point isn't that Love isn't good, I just think the Kings is the wrong place for him.
