Look at James' ball for more than a decade. After Big Z's form slipped, James never had a better partner than Love. '07 was the last season of the last star who could shoot the ball so he could be singled out down low, defend Duncan, and protect the basket.
But at this point in his career, his mobility began to decline, and even his protection of the basket could only do the same thing. There's basically no such thing as the ball not being in James' hands when it comes to the Celtics game. Remember when he started shooting threes this year too? Not in 2008 or '09, when the guy had basically turned into a spacey 5, but he still had a good passing game. As old Zang's first love, Big Z's brand of building is essentially tied to old James. In a sense, James has been looking for another, one time to give himself a downpour during his rookie campaign. After the block, James likes to find the end of the rim, but before that, he wants a player who can block that player, who can shoot and shoot. As a result, he gets very, very many options, and options have always been one of James' favorite things.
It doesn't matter what the music is worth, and it doesn't matter if you can't get in, the Cavaliers or James, who understands what he's working with, needs him as a threat. Shooting inside and out, there are all sorts of ways to score, but also passing, not only passing long or positional shifting or threatening, gives Cavaliers players all the time all sorts of options that the league doesn't have. Even if you lick your fingers, well the Cavs at 3 and 4 equals two wannabe males, Adu at 4, the league is a better position than he is, Anthony Davis, Griffin, Platinum, etc. Powerful talk. So who do you want to replace love? Outside of Durant, love isn't 4th in the league. Give him the ball and let him play.
Better say it's better for me. I'm sorry, there is absolutely nothing better than the up and down length of the league and the fourth spot. Most importantly, he's a player who is a special fit for the Cavaliers. How do you replace love? Or maybe you've pulled everyone out of the last two decades and one of them is a better fit for the Cavaliers than the Cavaliers, Garnett.
