The thing I keep going back to is how can you add a significant upgrade to your. top 8 (guys that actually get PT) without giving up guys in your top 7? It usually means you are taking on money and/or giving up prospects and/or picks. Mavs don't really have picks, they do have a few prospects that may or may not have value and they definitely have the ability to take on money.
So with Love if you are able to add him as the 8th guy (not necessarily in that order) then you have upgraded the team. It essentially bumps WCS out of a rotation spot most nights. Rick keeps his playoff rotations very tight so he is going to give most minutes to his top 7 which I already feel okay about.
I think the 8th guy would also help us get to the playoffs. Thats why I am looking at guys like Love, Gallo, Hield, Horford, Reddick, Drummond - guys that either won't cost much or that you can get in the buyout market.
I like Love bc he can score, rebound and pass. I think he has been mostly fake injured on the Cavs the last couple of years while they tank and he takes it easy until he eventually finds his way onto a good team. He knew what he was getting when he signed that big contract.
Defense will not be amazing but let's see what it looks like on the court. As mentioned if KP eventually gets moved for Wiseman this type of move would help it not look like the Mavs are taking a step back this year. All things considered if I could have Love/Wiseman/Oubre and some future cap savings I probably like that better than what I am seeing right now.
