Bill Simmons Mode Activated - Wiggins for Love, who says no?

[Malta]

I dont know what depleting depth you're talking about. Its Love for Wiggins straight up, with maybe a throw-in on each side. Free agents will follow Lebron anywhere he goes, especially alongside the other two. Defensive problems or not that's a better team than Miami can put on the floor today and is instantly the best team in the East.

Nah, I don't think free agents will follow LeBron everywhere, the Cavs had a lot of trouble signing people when LeBron was there. The Heat can get people because of the lack of state income tax, and it's Miami, yeah they want to win but the weather and no tax goes a long way to helping their decisions. When LeBron was there Cleveland was ready to overpay for Ariza, he picked the Rockets, they wanted Artest, he picked the Lakers, Michael Redd, Joe Johnson etc. etc.

I wouldn't even do Wiggins for Love, he's a good player but he needs to be on a team with defenders all around him where as Wiggins has 2 way potential. Like @The War Report said, you can't have Kyrie and Love on the same team and expect great results on defense. Pretty much any team in the East + LeBron would be the best in the conf, but whoever comes out the West would eat them.

Yeah but Lebron wasnt LEBRON Lebron, 2 time champ and undisputed best player in the world last time he was in Cleveland. Its different now and they'll follow him, particularly if they're winning. Bron, Love and Irving w/ the Cavs will be winning. Spurs got a year left, then the West is a crapshoot.

You do Wiggins for Love in a hearbeat provided Bron gives you the go ahead. Keeping Wiggins means Bron aint coming back, makes no sense. Wiggins has 2-way potential. He does NOT have Lebron potential. That trumps everything else.

Man, I'm about to 27 in September. My pops was 14 last time Cleveland won a championship. At this point, I just hope my father can witness another championship before he passes. That's my only wish

As long as it ain't in football nikka
