Anthony Bennett has 9 points. ...TOTAL. For THE ENTIRE YEAR so far.

[Professor Emeritus]

I remember certain idiots complaining that "LeGM" traded this dude ....

People seriously complained that the Cavs got rid of Waiters and Bennett and got Mozgov, SHump, and JR...

I do remember a thread where people were bashing those moves. I remember people saying the cavs were dumb to trade two top picks for Love too (although the outrage was really more about Wiggins)

To be honest, this forum contains just about every good or bad opinion imaginable. I find it strange that people find it so unbelievable that someone would make a dumb post on here.

I remember those posts too. They weren't just saying Wiggins, they were trying to trash the Cavs for trading away "two" #1 picks, as if trading Bennett counted too.


Found examples of people talking about Bennett like he was an actual asset the Cavs lost, and these aren't even the ones I remember.

Right and all we got to show for it is Love and on top of it we lost Bennett and a 1st rd pick.

Your right...also keep in mind I have never been aboard the get Love bandwagon I rather have the players we have as I think they can develop...I could be wrong but I liked what I saw from Bennet and Wiggins...I'm not a fan of Keeping waiters and packaging him with a pick for a center.

Wiggins wasn't going to be very good this year but even then, you had a two way player in Wiggins. You had a stretch 4 in Bennett. If push come to shove, you have great trade value with Wiggins. With Love, it's like, where can he go and get value back? Love will most likely stick and leave to green pastures like SAS.

To be honest I cant really blame him when he was starting the team was winning and his +/- was pretty good. Waiters gets a bad wrap for Kyrie's selfishness and he's better than people think.
If you had to sit on the bench and watch Kyrie chuck up shots with no repercussions while your team loses by 10+ you would be pissed to.
If I was Cleveland I would trade him and Tristan Thompson to another team for shooters cuz I think he can be a decent point guard and move to the scoring guard when needed.
Bennett is showing some promise in the Summer League and the Cavs would be better if they started Wiggins and Bennett and let Kyrie and Bron handle the ball and find them when there open.

Bennett with LeBron is the perfect asset for LeBron because he's a stretch four that can knock down the three and still capable of rebounding. There's no reason in hell you would need Tristan unless you trade Andy and Andy can't be traded because he's the only holding stick to LeBron from when he was here.

If you had to redraft 2013 who would go 1? Greek Freak or Oladipo?

Oladipo

 

[Malta]

Oladipo

Gobert or Giannis go first.

 

[jaguar paw]

Gobert or Giannis go first.

Yup, there were no sure fire stars in this draft.

And I don't think either reaches their peak potential under that Cavs regime. They've never been great at player development so they would've gotten killed no matter who they drafted.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Damn Cleveland is horrible at drafting

your best pick outside of Bron in the last 11 years is a guy who can't stay healthy to save his entire family.

even this year, just getting some competent bench players was hard because they threw half their immediate future for fukking Love

What immediate future? They traded a bum and a wallflower for Kevin Love. Cleveland made the Finals and still has a shot to win it all this season. How did Cleveland lose?

Gobert is Gobert no matter where he goes, but taking him first would have made the Bennett going 1 look sane, there was not much info on Rudy.

You're not considering the added pressure of the expectations of being taken #1 overall and being taken by a team that was trying to rush the process.

You don't think their would be a corrosive effect of Gobert being on the same team as Bynum?

Thanks. I remember some of these, andthere was a specific thread about the "two #1 picks" that I responded to. The point is that people that people were actually criticizing the Cavs for losing Bennett like he was worth anything, as shown by the posts you quoted.

no, like I said before. He can defend himself by finding evidence. He hasnt. You can type all of this irrelevant nonsense all you want, but this is about people being mad Anthony Bennett got traded. @Goatpoacher has refused to show any evidence of this and has instead insulted others. I have no idea why you are defending dude.

it is irrelevant that I remembered the posts you denied the existence of

The blind "I don't remember that post, therefore it doesnt exist" mentality doesnt work in here because just about any viewpoint imaginable has representation. Its hard to even construct a strawman here because no matter how outlandish an idea is, someone has probably posted it.

you get nothing because YOU didnt look it up

it is irrelevant that I remembered the posts you denied the existence of

a) I didnt ask you for anything, I asked @Goatpoacher.
b) Yes, you were irrelevant to the convo but decided to jump in to defend dude for no reason.

boy, stop.

I said to @Goatpoacher to show the receipts instead of telling everyone to fukk off and look for it themselves. I have no problem being wrong, but saying "yeah, I remember it" and not verifying it gets you know where in the world.


Thank you @The Dankster for doing what those other lazy @Goatpoacher wouldnt do.

I wasn't even defending him. I simply remembered the posts that you were denying the existence of for no apparent reason.

Once again. How am I lazy for not doing your bidding? Maybe you have a terrible memory, that's not my problem. Sure its great that everything posted online is saved forever, but it's also EQUALLY AVAILABLE TO YOUR STUPID LAZY ASS. I am not accepting any burdens. If you don't believe me, then fine. But I am not going to spend extra time looking for old posts when

1) YOu have equal access to the same posts
2) You are interested in the information sought
3) You have more free time because you have no life.


And I'm not going to bookmark and file everything like @Gil Scott-Heroin :JJ:

receipts?

cuz I dont think this happened.

You were either speaking of stuff of which you had no awareness or have a terrible memory. I accept your apology.

 

[mastermind]

Once again. How am I lazy for not doing your bidding?

yeah, if you are ever in charged for something and the prosecutors have evidence against you. I want you to sit back and say, "it wasnt me" and see how a jury reacts to that.
