Cavs need to make a big move Published at 6/19/2017

So as everyone saw the Cavs need to make a big move in the off-season. Lebron and Kyrie arent going anywhere, they have no draft picks, the only tradeable piece is Kevin Love. I think they need to forget about Paul George and get a couple depth guys and draft picks. The trade I'm picturing is a 3way deal with the Suns and Lakers.
Lakers get Love
Suns get JR Smith, Channing Frye and #2 from LA
Cavs get L. Deng, Brandon Knight, Jordan Clarkson and #4 from PHX
Why everyone does this, Lakers get Love, a stud to help attract Paul George. Plus the get out from Deng's awful contract. Adding Love will also give the Lakers the ability to let Randle walk in 2018 and get out of the $17.8 mil cap hold.
The Suns do it to get to #2 and take Lonzo Ball. They want Ball and probably need to get to #2 to get him. Really all they are doing is taking on a couple contracts to move up to #2. Brandon Knight hasnt really fit in and with the addition of Ball should be expendable.
The Cavs do this to get faster. Deng and Knight are good defenders, Clarkson gives them another young guard or trade asset. At #4 the Cavs could look to deal more or grab Tatum, Josh Jackson, or if they want more perimeter shooting they could grab Monk.
Another idea would be some sort of sign and trade with the Bulls to get Rondo and some draft picks. Rondo would give them a defender to match up with the Warriors guards and then some draft picks to add some youth to the roster. The Blazers may also be interested in Love, they have 3 first rounders and maybe Evan Turner and Harkless to make the money work. Turner's length would help the Cavs defense, Harkless would have a bench role.
Just throwing some ideas out there, obviously next year will be the year of the Greek Freak and the Bucks so this is all an attempt to get to 2nd place anyway.
