If Kevin Love leaves Cleveland this will go down as one of the worst nba trades of all time, trading a better player for worse and then seeing him leave them after one season :pachaha:

Wiggins isn't a better player than Love right now.

he;s not better right now but he will be, if kevin love becomes a one season rent then shyt's pretty sad cause at worst they could have kept wiggins for few more years.

I don't see Love leaving after this season. I think he'll opt in so he can become a free agent in 2016 and get a bigger contract after the cap jumps.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
@Malta is Noel da gawd gonna win ROY? I'd be so proud :mjcry:


I doubt it, Wiggins has won rookie in the west every single month of the season so far.


Noel is going to be a great player though, it'll be between him, Gobert and Brow for DPOY the next 10.

I think he's finding out that winning isn't all it's cracked up to be if you're not a significant factor in the wins. Dude had his own commercials and was on the trajectory of being a superstar now he's Robert Horry without the rings. I'm sure he'd welcome a balance of being the 2nd option but now he's the 3rd or 4th if JR is on the court.

At what point is it just on him to play better? I highly doubt that a prime Tim Duncan or any other ATG big man would be in this position. If he was good enough to be a more significant factor then he would be.

The bolded is one of the biggest problems with today's league. You are either a superstar or a bench rider. There is no in between. When in truth there is plenty of room in between. If you are a true superstar then you have no problem fitting in with other superstars and getting yours...no excuses. Bench riders don't put up 16 and 10 as a third option. Love is a good player. You give a good player enough touches in games that don't matter and he'll put up numbers that make you think he's great.

This season Love is averaging 17/10 on with a TS% of 56 and a PER of 19.3
Bosh in his four years playing with LeBron averaged 17/7 with a TS% of 57.8 and a PER of 19.4

Bosh said he had to sacrifice his game a lot to play with LeBron but he has 2 rings to show for it. I hear what you're saying but it has to be hard going from being the man to being a 3rd option while you're in your prime. I know he signed up for it but he's probably regretting it now. If they win the ship he'd probably get no credit for it.

Last time I checked Chris Bosh is likely going to the HOF thanks in large part to those rings and gets plenty of praise and attention that he never got in Toronto. Much like Bosh, if Love was that good then he wouldn't be anybody's third option, period. I'm tired of these delusional ass nikkas swearing up and down that they are making some grand sacrifice by getting the max to stand in the back while all the pressure and expectations get heaped on the nikka in front of them. Step up and take over and you will get all the touches and credit you want. Otherwise shut the fukk up, collect you max salary, and play your position.
