They'd start Pek and Dieng together, within 2 years that team would be better than the Love Wolves.

my homeboy said we were wilding for not being in favor of trading wiggins+bennett+pick for love

If they make the move for Love and can't find a defensive center they would be fukked, they are basically thinning out their bench and removing athleticism from their team in favor of old dudes like James Jones, Mike Miller and potentially Ray Allen all while being capped out.

They have a soon to be 32 year old Anderson Varejao as the only center on their squad right now, he's averaged 38 games a season over the last 3 years. If Varejao goes down which is likely, they're left with Tristan Thompson @ the 5, he is a pretty poor interior defender himself, so now they got all these old nikkas off the bench with no athleticism and a frontcourt that blocks a combined 1 shot per game.

Love's impact is overstated because people only want to focus on the offense and not the horrible defense. We're not talking about dominant two way big, we're talking about David Lee with 3 range.

:ehh:


You get it. Media acting like the Cavs wont have to play defense. They would easily one of the worst defensive teams.

I think Loves defensive effort will naturally improve with less offensive responsibility and good coaching to mask his and kyrie's deficiencies.....One thing you got to give to him is that he;s a strong and tenacious rebounder which is a huge plus on both ends......But he's definitely gonna need his marc gasol to zbo if the cavs want to win and go deep in the off's now......

The Cavs are stuck between a rock and a hard place. LeBron might be saying he knows it's a process and he's alright with waiting for the team to become a contender, but he's in the second half of his career and time is ticking.

We all agree that if Wiggins does become any type of star or superstar, that's still quite a few years away. Would anyone really put it past LeBron to skip town again if these young guns don't pan out in a couple years?
