102731, The point is you need rim and paint protection
Posted by LA2Philly, Fri Jul-18-14 11:04 AM
I've had more than 24 hours to think about it and it's still pretty simple to me: With Love at the 4, you are going to have some major issues on the backside of your defensive rotation and I was using Bosh as an example to show the kind of complementary piece and fit that Cleveland should wait to pay rather than locking themselves in with Love. You wanna call my argument flimsy yet fail to recognize that defensive rebounding and outlet passing aren't nearly equal to a backside rim protector especially when A) Love will be pulled away from the paint far more often and B) Varejao isn't much of a rim protector either. I haven't seen the iteration of the deal where Cleveland gets Dieng and Minny would remiss to include him imo.
