I think they are 12-3 in this last injury stretch. If Blake falls out of favor in LA, I think the Clippers should have traded him to the Cavaliers for Love. Now, I'm not sure the Cavs make that trade, not without taking on Varejao. So maybe Stephenson and Blake for Varejao and Love?
Right now that's probably a better deal for the Clips, since Stephenson has been awful for two seasons now and Blake can't play right now. Varejao is a salary throw in at best. Actually, if you use the Haywood trade exception, Cleveland could gain Stephenson and Blake for just Love. Again, for the rest of the season even, the Love trade is a win for the Clippers, but if Blake can get healthy and Stephenson can become mini Lebron off the bench (playmaking and a little scoring off the bench, mixed it with another defender for the win), Cleveland would be alright.
I'm just dreaming. Love just looks so miscast on the Cavs. He doesn't D up.
I don't think Love is schemed to D up. He's used to offenses running through him. He's a very effective and talented tool if utilized properly. Blake on the Cavs would be a big big difference maker. He has an Eastern Conference stop the ball style. I'd trade straight up for Love, though a high energy guy like Varejao would help the Clippers greatly.
Of course while everybody waits for the Warriors to possibly cool off (doesn't look like it's gonna happen).
