Update to Cavs story w/ @Brian Windhorst: Cavs will send TWO future firsts to Denver for Mozgov
Desperation. Mozgov isn't that good.
I assume you believe Mozgov is good, though not
that, i.e. two first-round picks, good.
Despite the overpay, Mozgov is a tremendous addition to that team. Cavs can also probably afford to overpay after being the clear winners in the recent 3-team trade. It's a win-now move, and I like it for them. If you're going to give up Wiggins for Love, you have to be willing to give up a little extra in draft considerations to complete the puzzle. Otherwise, if the plan is to be patient for a couple of years, I don't see why they didn't just keep Wiggins. If they can bring on Dalembert or trade for Wright using their TPE and two 2nds, I love their team.
Irving/Shumpert
Mike Miller/JR Smith
LBJ/Marion
Love/T. Thompson
Mozgov/Dalembert or Wright
That's quite a ballclub.
