I don't understand why. Love is a shooting big that rebounds like an animal. He's a threat in areas of the floor that are just uncommon for a big, and can score big on any given night. Wiggins will only be able to eat in fastbreak situations, all he provides is a shaky pull-up jumper, struggle 3 and uncoordinated layups. For now at least.

Also Cavs 1st rounders are a non-factor. That team won't be touching lottery level talent so what the hell you talkin bout?

:childplease:

The nikka that cant shoot or dribble worries yall... :russ:

out ur god damn mind. If the Cavs land Love without trading 2 first rounders then yall should be very worried.

...athletic wing players hurt the Bulls...Not slow , jump shooting big men. All we have to do is close out and rebound, which is our strength...

They have 3 first rounders. fukk u mean they are non factors.

The reason why this wiggins/love trade hasnt happened yet is cuz of first round picks. First round picks are always factors. Especially when you have 3 (for one year) and dont need them.

You act like Wiggins in 2014-15 will be a dynamic 20+ scorer playing alongside LeBron :russ:

edit: 3 first rounders on this Cavaliers team are non-factors becase they will all be late picks. Late 1st round picks are not true assets.

Even with Love, your lineup would have defensive holes all over the place and you'd have an injury prone C with no backup.

The Bulls wouldn't be a good matchup for the Cavs with Love, IMO.

All depends on what's in the trade. If we keep Wiggins it's obviously a win and makes our perimeter defense miles better. If Wiggins is in the deal, they have to get Dieng back and try to hold on to Waiters for it to make sense. Not that Waiters plays D...they don't have a backup 2 guard. The Cavs know they need some sort of rim protector for Varejao's eventual January injury, its happened 3 or 4 straight years now.

I'm hoping they don't give up all their assets and flexibility for Love, because right now its pretty much only the Cavs with a good deal on the table. The right trade puts them at the top of the east.

If they get him without trading Wiggins is the worst case scenario.

I'm just saying the Cavs with Love isn't a lock to win the East. I still have major questions about their depth at that point, and their defense. Kyrie and Love are 2 of the worst defenders at their respective positions. And I think the Bulls have the bigs that match up very well with them, and the size alone would create problems.

Maybe not but packaging first rounders puts you high in the draft. There's always a team that bites on two firsts...word to McBuckets and the Bulls

1. Thats hella exaggerated. I could name 3 PG/PF off the top that are worse defensively then Kyrie and Love.

2. Playing with Lebron makes you better so their defense should be better

3. Cavs are gonna trade for a Center since they have 5 1st rounders over the next two years.

Yall act like the Cavs dont know they dont have a Center. Woj DA GAWD said Cavs are looking to trade their picks for a center.

Very sure Minnesota is eyeing bigger fish to go with first rounders. Perhaps Waiters to go alongside Wiggins or something of that sort.

Who's available that they can grab at the 5?

Doesn't matter though, cause nobody's front court is fukking with the Bulls if they stay healthy. The potential of Wiggins and Bron on the wing with Kyrie scares me more than Love on that team. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I know where my team's weakness is at, and defending jump shooters isn't one of them.
