Which one do u think will be looked at snd frowned on even more as the years go on?

Wiggins kyrie and bron really was a potential dynasty lock (not saying love wont work but sheesh idk about this one fully)

Harden being 2nd in mvp botes thunder had potentially three mvps jnder rhe age of 25 at the same time all drafted to the same team...should have done whatever to keep these guys and figure out the rest

The Harden deal was made for financial reasons.

The Wiggins deal happened because Bron wanted Love there.

For that, I'd have to go with the Harden deal. They gave Perkins 9M a year and then had to get rid of Harden.
I sorta agree with this
U have the three legit mvp talents
A automatic scoring machine in kd
An aggressive all time athletic point guard who can score in russ
And a ball moving scorer in harden

I dont even think a team like this with that level of talent ever existed before

And they were young and already in the finals the year before

Perkins might have ruined this team with that 9 mill contract...imagine if okc got all three right when the cap goes up :wow:

But in the case of wiggins and love...wiggins could have played the 2 or 3 and lebron could hav3 mentored the fella for the first two years. Lebron wiggins and kyrie would have made the eastern conference finals easily and won no less then 45 games. Lebron could have done what tim duncan and lamarcus Aldridge are gonna do in san Antonio...aged easily and allowed wiggins and irving to be the future while he gets his easy 20 7 and 7 from a relaxed effort fkr the next 6+ yesrs

Meanwhile emotional and frsgile love has the frsnchise hostsge

Irving
Wiggins
Lebron
Thompson
fukking anybody at center is a tesm that would have been so disgustingto have to deal with for the next 5 years

Meanwhile theres no pr9mise love is staying after next season and kyrie is hurt

True, but Bron had the power to make that move happen. You make that move because not only did Bron want it to happen, but he showed their hand by leaving Wiggins' name out the letter and hitting Love up the day he signed telling him he was gonna want him on the squad.

That's more of an indictment on Bron than on the Cavs.
One made the deal because the best player in the league they were trying to get made them, the other because of Kendrick Perkins :francis:

Both trading teams lost, I think OKC might have been a perennial contender with Harden but I cant get over Cleveland trading a guy who can be your eventual succession plan for a guy that is going to leave this summer or the next.

Why do you guys keep saying this? :what:

Asked specifically if that meant he wanted to be back in Cleveland next season, Love said, “Yes. I want to win.”

We gave perkins contract much before harden worth started to show and before the new CBA. Other than that I agree

True but the organization itself legally makes that deal. Why didnt they fight harder for Wiggins? Why did lebron not want andrew? I knownu might not know but i dont see why give up the number 1 pick and future draft pick for a guy who although an arguably top 15 player, stays hurt and never made the playoffs prior? Why say we wont be winning a title in the fiest year but bring in kevin love and make the moz/shump/smith move like u are in a rush for a title this year?

Wiggs uncle drew kang and tt would have been a defensive and offensive monster

It doesn't matter here. He could opt in this summer and people would just say he's gone in 2016.

They want Love to leave to spite LeBron and the city of Cleveland.

Turns out thats not true. The Cavs were ready to deal Wiggins for Love before the draft. They also would have dealt the pick for Horford once it looked like Embiid had his health issues. But Love wasnt going to commit. LeBron deciding to go back to Cleveland just made it more feasible.

Dan Gilbert wanted Andrew Wiggins. Most of the Cavs front office thought Jabari Parker and Embiid were better prospects.

Sidenote: Parker showed up out of shape to Cavs workouts and seemed to not want to be there.
Its interesting because if LeBron would have came out and said he's going to Cleveland they might have kept him. They share the same agents.

Didn't Lamarcus Aldridge say he wanted to go Cleveland if Love leaves?

Theres no way Love would do a sign-in-trade with Portland because he does not want to play there.

That would mean Cleveland was in position to get another Superstar and keep Wiggins.

LMA to San Antonio has been confirmed by the gawd already
