might as well rename the team "Klutch Sport Cavaliers"

Only way LeBron learns is when things blow up in his face and he's the only person to blame.

He does not own responsibility for his actions as a "leader".

It's never just basketball with this nikka. It's always some extra shyt.

I watch other teams constantly and they just play ball.

He makes it uncomfortable for everyone. It's annoying.

That's why I wasn't shocked to hear Wade say he was relieved on Media Day.

Always some side hustle with Bron...

Seeing Wade play this year, he legit looks a lot more happier than he has in recent years, lowkey

2 years from now the Love trade is gonna be looked at like

The Wolves have a brighter future now with Wiggins than they did with Love, that's all you need to know about that trade.

Hated that trade from the start. They let ESPN and so-called "analysts" push them too it. The big 3 narrative was already going from the time lebron said he was coming back

That's why I was so against the Wiggins trade, if you kept Andrew around you could always fall back on his potential in a year or two and be like "Ok LeBron, you're 32 now, fukk your opinion we got this 21 year old stallion, sign or don't sign we good"

Worst part is they could have kept wiggins, probably had the same record for this year and still would have been able to get love later

I still think that's a bit out of context.

Love hasn't been used correctly on offense all season. They don't run pick and roll or pick and pop with him at all. They never try to run the offense thru him in the high post or elbow area.

They haven't tried any changes at all. Even when LeBron was out. That's 100 percent on Blatt.

Love is still the ideal (even with all his faults) as a compliment to LBJ and Kyrie.

The 2, 3, and 5 need to be plus defenders for it to work.

Nah, they wouldn't have the room to get Love, but they'd still have Waiters, Bennett, Thompson etc to move in a trade for a PF.

Not true. Cavs wouldn't of had the cap space to out right sign him this summer if he were in Minnesota and opted out.

Could they have done a sign and trade?

I don't think it's out of context, the major problem is that people thought Wiggins was going to be a 3, now it's becoming apparent that his future is at the 2 and he's looking like a franchise level talent at that spot, there's nobody else in the league that can match his size/athleticism at SG. He's going to be a + defender there and a matchup nightmare for most SGs because he's too quick for most SFs and way too tall for most SGs.


Love may be ideal offensively, but Mozgov isn't good enough defensively to hide him, you needed an elite level rim protector and Mozgov is good at it but not great. Realistically the ideal PF for you would be Ryan Anderson they are using him exactly how LeBron has used Marshall, Jamison and Bosh, that is just what PF's turn into next to Bronny.

What you are seeing in Minnesota with Wiggins is not the same as what you would've seen from him in Cleveland. Is that fair to say? At least right away.


I also wonder if Minnesota did not have it's flurry of injuries and trades if it would of even allowed Wiggins to get as much exposure as he has on offense.

From a developmental perspective, this is the best thing that happened to him.

Could they have done a sign and trade?

Sure, if they included Wiggins.

They've been trying to get Love for 2 years. They were all in with him after they met this summer.

I really don't know if that's fair to say to be honest, he didn't start playing like this until they moved him to SG, which is what he would have been with your team from day 1.

His strengths right now are exactly what the Cavs want from a 2 guard, he's hitting 3s, defending and his usage rate is lower than Waiters was when you had him. His recent 20ppg streak comes with a 23.7 usage rate, Waiters has a 24.1 rate, I mean the touches would have been there for Wiggins, Smith is firing up shots like no tomorrow. Your 2 guards get shots, that isn't a problem....

I also wonder if Minnesota did not have it's flurry of injuries and trades if it would of even allowed Wiggins to get as much exposure as he has on offense.

From a developmental perspective, this is the best thing that happened to him.

The move to the 2 is the reason for the jump, it took injuries and trades to get him there, but on your team the path would have been Waiters starting at the 2 and sucking, then Blatt going with Wiggins at the 2. I mean, his talent was apparent from jump, his issue is he's not strong enough to body up on SFs and that wouldn't be a problem with your team, because he'd be playing the position he's now excelling at, SG.
