Spurs/Heat template for Modern Offenses

What the teams represent is a template for the modern three-heavy NBA offense: ball movement and spacing. Ball movement can come in the form of a dominant creator (Clippers with Chris Paul, Thunder with Russell Westbrook and Heat with LeBron) or a team-wide commitment to pass with the required skill to go along with it (Spurs). Spacing comes in the form of shooting. Lots of shooting. We're at the point where if you don't have a big man who is an elite long-two shooter and/or a passable three-point shooter, you're at a disadvantage.

Still, plenty of teams have catching up to do. In many ways, the Finals are a crash course for team-builders in what you need to win in today's NBA. The Spurs and Heat model aren't perfectly replicable because it's hard to find great talent. You can't have a Heat without a LeBron, and there's only one of him. You can't have a Spurs without Duncan and drafting two reliable Hall of Famers well outside of the lottery. These are not easy tasks.
But teams can learn from the two franchises' actual on-court behavior. Too many teams lack a corps of shooters to pop in as needed. Too many teams rely on too few shot creators or embrace a system that restricts the natural ball-handling and passing skills of its players

There are many conflicting stories among the NBA's elite. Memphis rules with a double-big threat. The Clippers have the old-school point-guard-and-power-forward setup. The Pacers rely on a ball-dominant wing and elite defense. The Thunder have their two-headed monster.
But there's something every team can learn from the Miami and San Antonio systems that nod toward team defense while emphasizing passing and shooting. That the offenses are thoroughly dominating the respective excellent defenses in the Finals shows just how powerful the sharing-and-spacing offense can be.

Great breakdown on the Love Conundrum from Canis Hoopus
LINK
There's an interesting comp to Barkley in Philly and a breakdown of the reported offers
Long read, basically the reported offers are crap aside from the Bulls, aasuming Mirotic comes over, and the Celtics w/ a shot at Aaron Gordon
He would like to see them talk to Utah about Hayward for Love, Wiz about Beal/Nene for Love, and Cleveland's Waiters/#1 package

So. I think that makes this the point of no return now, with now being the operative word.
You still have leverage over where you send him because Love can't opt out for a full year
You don't have a cloud of anxiety hanging over the franchise over the summer and half, if not all, of next year
The draft is how you rebuild and where you find stars. Deal him now and you'll know exactly which picks you're getting and who's going to be on the board
