Kevin Love is a bust...and it's time to accept it.

[Rigby.]

I just didn't realize how much he needed kyrie and Bron out there together for him to get loose. I thought he'd be more effective.

I just don't think he meant to be a second option right now. He's basically a volume rebounder at this point, can't really cut, and basically needs the ball as much as possible. The creating your own space thing seems to be a problem for him.

I see why people say they're empty now. Nothing dynamic about him.

The problem is that no matter what his numbers are the end result is the same...

When he was on the wolves if he had a 14 and 5 game...the wolves would lose by 9

And then if he turned around the next night and had a 36 and 17 game...they would lose by 7

For his career his rebound numbers are atrociously overrated...this is a guy who would repeatedly be in a position to defend a shot and would repeatedly let a guy shoot without even putting his hand up just so he could turn and try to get rebounding position...

Meanwhile a young Dwight Howard and a right now Great Whiteside can somehow challenge a shot, challenge a put back, and then grab the rebound on a consistent basis...

The trade isn't going to be judged on Love's numbers in November, it'll be judged on whether or not the Cavs win a title.

Which isn't really fair cuz I can think of a few harder working defensive forwards that may deserve the championship opportunity love is getting.

 

[Rigby.]

But Kevin Love is the focal point of their offense, he's about to be back to all-star status...why would they bring him off the bench

How you the focal point but LeBron still playing Finals level minutes and he's like the third leading scorer on the team? Maybe moving him to the bench was too much but dude gonna have to develop a real niche at some point.

 

[Archangel]

Still too early op. Give em time.

Love is the Bosh of the Cleveland trio, plain and simple.

So that means Bron has to just stand around to let love get off. No one wants to see Bron stand around while Love YMCA dribbles in the post. Wiggins was the secret sauce Cleveland needed.

Bruh I hope you're right. Cuz it's hard to watch...

Cac is out there with the sweat headband and 70's mustache lookin "tin man with no oil"...it hurts to watch.

I think based on how Wiggins has developed and how Love has panned out, yeah it's a pretty horrible trade. But I gotta wait till the playoffs and when Kyrie returns to call it a complete bust. Maybe the fact that you have to wait till Kyrie returns is enough proof that the trade was a failure though

That's what I'm sayin fam...kev should be able to cook before kyrie returns, but he can't. The trade was a failure...plus Wiggins is younger, his shelf life is gold right now.

 

[LurkMoar]

Nobody in the East beating Bron 4 times in the playoffs, its all pretty much moot point.

 

[King Poetic]

What about the 82 million dude who just broadcast that he's dating a instagram thot and only gave u 4 points 9 boards and was dominated by all the pistons big men tonight

If this Cunningham cat develops, maybe they'll have something. I personally try not to think about the end result of the trade or if old ass Love was replaced by a 17 pt averaging Wiggins, an efficient slasher, which is like the one thing Cleveland didn't have other than LeBron and Kyrie.

Everybody knew that was a flop but Cleveland needed those rebounds and pretty much understood Love just wasn't gonna give you that on the offensive end.

If that nikka worked on his offensive game instead of being a little bytch this summer, it would've looked pretty good
