No one will just give away a good player because he doesn't fit their timeline. If he is good on a decent salary according to his production, they will want assets back. Love would be a perfect example of a good player that doesn't fit his team timeline. No way Cleveland trades him without getting a good young player and at least one first round pick. Personally, I am not interested in one year rental vets (Gasol, Ibaka and similar). They would certainly cost assets and it is a long shot they would take us all the way. When the season is over we just lose their value.
Brooklyn or Milwaukee might be win now desperate and willing to trade their prospects for a proven player on a reasonable salary (there might be others, but I either don't see any valuable youngsters or they are too good to be traded). Brooklyn has Musa and Kurucs. Milwaukee has DiVincenzo and Wilson. Brooklyn could use a defensive PF/C. Question is, are we willing to part with Maxi for Musa and/or Kurucs? Milwaukee could use a shooter. Question is, would we be willing to part with Curry for DiVinzenzo and/or Wilson?
