NBA Rumors: One Trade That Every Team Should Make On Draft Night
By Mason McFee
Los Angeles Clippers
LAC gets: Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love
CLE gets: CP3, Blake Griffin
If LeBron is going to stay in Cleveland, he needs incentive.
“What? He just won a championship.”
You are correct reader, but his promise years ago was to bring Cleveland a championship, not stay there for the remainder of his career. He’s rebuilt his reputation and has the ability to leave to team up with Chris Paul, DWade, and Carmelo or whatever other superstar he wishes; and no one can be mad at him (Okay, many will be, but there will be no real argument to be made).
But what if CP3 comes to him? What if Dan Gilbert gives LeBron a better Kevin Love in Blake Griffin? Kyrie was phenomenal in the Finals, but he and Love still feel like a round and square block trying to be put in triangle and rectangle holes.
Cleveland got their championship and ended the drought. Now ‘the King’ can build a new kingdom.
Los Angeles has needed to rebuild for awhile now, and while losing two members of their Big 3, getting younger with Kyrie and Love would help offset the losses. Doc Rivers would use them correctly, and they’d put up monster numbers in L.A.
