A year ago, the Cavs shocked many people by going on a limb and drafting this kid high, after starting off the season as one of the worst rookies of all time, many people threw him in the bushes as a bust, late in the season I started to see some improvement, smarter shots the head coach using him better.

The most notable improvement has been Bennett's shooting efficiency. No longer settling for jumpers, Bennett has been more aggressive getting to the paint and drawing fouls. His shooting mechanics are actually quite good for a soon-to-be 21-year-old big man and could turn into a major strength moving forward.

Why do I bring this up well as many of you know the Cavs are making a push for Love, and all of the trade talks I see include shipping off A.Bennett, alone or paired with Waiters that trade is a no brainer but the Wolvs also want Andrew Wiggins, in to way would I take this deal and feel A.Bennett can still be a solid player in the future.
Question is how do yall feel my coli brehs. :manny:

Breh you the fam and all but we have so many threads about this....We don't want to do the deal on average because they want wiggins/bennet/1st/contracts for Love/martin or Barea.

If they would take Waiters/Bennet/1st for Love we would of jumped on it....Id prefer to keep the team how it is maybe acquiring Ray Allen and a Center but we don't know if they told Bron that they would bring in another star.

Bennett is Anthony Mason Jr. he had no business being drafted #1. You can argue MCW should have been #1 in that horrible draft though.

we can't really use hindsight...I wanted Oladipo but we can't go with hindsight besides MCW wasn't even a top 10 pick...part of the reason he was so productive outside of him being talented is that the 76ers were his team...They even set him when they were doing too good.

Marquis Teague played great in summer league too :mjlol:


we can bet all of your rep and coli cash that Anthony Bennet will have a better season this year than last year...I will even go on a limb and say he will average over 10ppg and 6 rb a night.

When your 58 second highlight reel contains the same play replayed 3 times and another twice... you don't have a highlight reel.

And remember this about summer League competition before you start acting like it means something:
- Michael Beasley was a staright beast in Summer Leagues and Mario Chalmers shytted on D-Rose there too. Nuff said.
