Yeah I guess Cavs management sucks enough to be vying for 6th-8th in the EastThe discussion is pretty moot, love had 1 yr left on his deal. He wouldn’t have played in Cleveland if they didn’t have lebron.
But if he was willing to sign extension then yeah I think clearly they would’ve done the deal, he had a rep as a top 10-15 player then and him/Irving would’ve made cavs relevant in the east (atleast on paper at time that would’ve been thinking)
Kyrie/Love would have been definition of first round playoff purgatory
