2023 NBA Trade Deadline

They have to keep him at this point. I don't think it's fair they are just waiting around. I can't imagine a player with family just sitting around to know if they have to relocate SMH

Re: 2023 NBA Trade Deadline

I really do wonder where Patrick will end up now. Remember when players like this could resign with their old team in this situation. I'm so happy they got rid of that [emoji23]

ESPN Sources: The four-team trade, held up by Golden State’s concern over Gary Payton II’s physical, is tracking to be completed today. Deal allows Payton II (Golden State) James Wiseman (Detroit), Saddiq Bey (Atlanta) and Kevin Knox (Portland) to join new teams.

It's looking like the deal will go through

Re: 2023 NBA Trade Deadline

Looks like Sixers are signing Dwayne Dedmon. Meh at best. I figured they would sign a washed up center that Doc would play regardless of performance. I was hoping they wait out until the possibility of Nerlens Noel getting bought out.

Kevin Love is done in Cleveland?

Re: 2023 NBA Trade Deadline

Yep they bought him out which is surprising if nothing else for depth since they will be a top 6 seed. Looks like Miami may be the team he goes to.

WTF is going on with Kevin Love right now. Cavs saying they won’t buy him out of he’s picking Miami?

If thats true I just want to go into the Cavs front office and ask "but why tho?"

They view Miami+Kevin Love as too great a threat to them or something??
Personal vendetta? Still salty about "The Decision?"

I don't get it

Edit: An initial google search says they will still buy him out, just that part of that will be preventing him from signing with the Heat. That makes more sense than holding him hostage

It's weird how a guy would want a buyout from a current playoff team. Not even like Cavs are a bubble play in team, they're top 4 in the east. And he stuck around for the bad years post LeBron but wants out now?

If it's specifically Miami, then maybe it's because of LeBron leaving and they're still bitter? If it's just any playoff team in the east, that makes more sense. You wouldn't want a guy who knows your team/coaching staff better than anyone else winding up on the team you're playing in the playoffs.

From what I’ve seen on Twitter from people that follow the team, it’s mainly due to him no longer playing and just being on the bench.

He's out of the rotation, I think. I think the concern is the perimeter defense is why he's out of the rotation.

But didn't he start out hot this year or somewhere close?

I don't see why they would fear him going to Miami. I mean, there is a good chance they can face Miami in first round in a 3-6 or 4-5 matchup. But, Cleveland has the guys who can guard Love, so just cut ties.

That right there is what is throwing me. Its not like football where playbooks and schemes reign supreme. Love going to Miami is not going to provide Spoelstra a huge tactical advantage.

Cleveland doesn't seem to be oozing confidence here

Re: 2023 NBA Trade Deadline

I wonder if it’s just Miami or if Miami is just the team mentioned because that is where he was linked to. Meaning, maybe it’s any eastern conference playoff team.

Still weird. I’m sure this has happened in the past, but I can’t recall it off the top.

I could see a few teams being interested, he still has value as a shooter.

Re: 2023 NBA Trade Deadline

I’ll take him in BK. ****, I’d rather go ahead and give him Ben’s minutes.

He’s still a high IQ player, need a good vet presence other than Spencer in the locker room, got enough defenders to at least minimize the negative effect he would have on that side.

Feel the same way in Philly. Anything is better than Trez's minutes. Paul Reed can't be trusted and is at best good in spurts. Dedmon is likely going to be this year's version of DeAndre Jordan. At best for Dedmon, is that is a different version of bad. As long as Love can still rebound and hit an occasional 3, he'd be a fit most places.
