Bron thought Love could be his Bosh. That's all. A person who could help give him the spacing he needs to work. That's all.

And Wade knew how to play off the ball, something Bron still doesn't do.

Bron woulda had Wiggy looking like James Jones and shyt
Lebron was wrong because Love can't play the 5 like Bosh. Sure he spaces the floor but he's a liability on defense especially in the pick n roll.

Lebron can't play off of the ball because he has to be the main facilitator plus score 25+ a night. Lebron could play off of the ball in Miami because he had other playmakers on the team. This Cavs team doesn't have that.

Doesn't common sense tell you that Wiggins would have to learn to play off of the ball? Do you not think that he's capable of learning how? To be fair, you don't seem to have common sense tho.

Got plenty of common sense. I've just seen what Bron has done to others over the years, esp other wing players. They become jumpshooters and spot up cats because he doesn't play off the ball well. Wade was an allstar who took a backseat and let Bron become the main ballhandler. But Wade knew how to play off the ball. And we all know Love is suspect defensively.

Was the trade bad? Of course it was. And would you rather see how Wiggins would have played with Bron vs having Love? I think we all agreed they should have given it a chance first.

You just contradicted yourself. You say that Lebron turns other players into spot up shooters then acknowledged that Wade wasn't reduced to that because he know how to play off of the ball. If you know how to play off of the ball then you wouldn't be relegated to a spot up shooter playing with Lebron. Why would you blame Lebron for another player's lack of skill?

Exactly. So there's no need to pretend as if the Wiggns couldn't play with Lebron or that Lebron would reduce him to being just a spot up shooter. There's absolutely no reason to think that they couldn't have played together.

They're definitely trading him this summer, I think those Love rumors to Boston at the deadline were definitely true especially since Crowder can play the smallball 4.
They would've been better off not resigning him, but they probably felt like they had to do it to save face.

He will be the scapegoat of all those cleveland failures. Should have never traded for him, he ain't shyt, it was visible when he was playing for the wolves, his team was going nowhere and they had pieces. Yet some people were calling him the best PF in the league :mjlol: He aint ready mentally for the playoffs, feel sorry for whatever team gets him, you can get ryan anderson for cheaper if you really want kevin love

They had to re-sign him, you can't trade Wiggins and then let this dude walk, he still has value around the league. They need to move him this summer, I doubt they win a title and he's going to be on the bench for most of the critical minutes during their playoff run.

On the season LeBron has assisted 104 Kevin Love field goals. The next closest guy has 32 in Kyrie Irving. To put into perspective how fukking terrible of a distributor Kyrie is, the next closest guy is Matthew Dellavedova, ALSO with 32, despite playing significantly less minutes.

Lord knows y'all nikkas don't do your research though. Any excuse to have another "We Hate LeBron" circlejerk
That's not putting it into perspective at all -

First of all LeBron has played 60 games averaging 36 minutes a game (a total of 2151 minutes), whereas Kyrie has only played 36 games averaging 30 minutes (a total of 1083 minutes), adding on to that LeBron and Love have played on the floor together more than any other two-man combo -

Not only has he had the benefit of playing TWICE as many minutes with Love than Kyrie has, but he's had the monopoly of the playmaking duties - around 24 games of being the main playmaker rather than splitting them with Kyrie. Kyrie had to split playmaking duties with LeBron ever since he came back from injury. He hasn't had the opportunity to just play with Love for a generous period of time WITHOUT LeBron. This is all without mentioning the decline in Love's play over the last few months.

I know you riding Bron's dikk and all that, but don't be accusing others of not doing their research when you only dug surface deep doing yours.:manny:

Obviously Wade was an exception being that he was already an all star and wasn't a rookie coming into the league breh.

They can't have Crowder :mjpls:

Better take Turner & Sullinger. Sully's big ass can stretch the floor


:dead: @ How far Love has fallen that Crowder is now a deal breaker, two years ago it would have taken the whole C's roster to get him, now it's just Sully and a pick.

You just admitted that Wade wasn't reduced to being a spot up shooter because he knew how to play off of the ball. Him being a veteran allstar had nothing to do with it. If you know how to play off of the ball then you're not reduced to being a spot up shooter. What is it with you people and hating? Is life that bad?

It absolutely does have something to do with it. An all star vet guard (who already had a ring) vs a rookie coming into a team that had championship expectations and having to deal with Lebron passive aggressive ass? Cmon man.
