Too bad, It seems like a horrible trade for phoenix.
Bledsoe, knight and 2 first round picks is a lot for love, rose and shumpert.

Yeah I think only a team that's very close to championship contention would want Love. I think he has more value to Cleveland than to any other team actually. Or at least, he has a more important, clear cut role that makes sense with them than I could see with other teams.
Without knowing contractual obligation of Bledsoe and Dudley and if either plays defense, the trade would Be favorable to the Kmicks.
Even though they've to absorb these heavy contracts - particularly Thompson as he's unifaceted, getting a scorer in Bledsoe, purging Melo and having another #4 and added piece to our rebuild would be tremendous. Dudley would be a rotation scorer and while Thompson and Billy are redundant and can't play together, it's still a nice problem to have.
