  • I guess the more I think about it, I'm ok with the Love trade now.

    Had we waited until the deadline, it would have cost us half a season of chemistry to build between the New Big 3. A trade was inevitable, might as well get it out of the way now (even though I'm really bummed we lost Wiggins).

    Regarding the deal, we couldn't sign him in the offseason. At least not for max money like he wants. By trading for him now, we now have his bird rights which allows us to resign our own players while going over the salary cap and into the luxury tax. We couldn't have signed him outright without gutting our team of ~$22M first.

  • Wiggins is unproven in the NBA, Love is proven. He is young. Fuck the rebuild. We have the team NOW mother fucker!

  • The Spurs have maybe one more year with Duncan and a good Manu. After that, they wont be the same team. The only team that would stand in our way would be the Bulls.

    I think that's going on in Cleveland this weekend isn't it? That's an event in the Gay Games I believe.

    Shit talk Quidditch all you want but it's the only sport I've ever seen a 125-lb girl drop a 225-lb man and break his collarbone.

    It's also the only sport I've seen someone have a broomstick slice open their taint which required like 20 stitches.

  • You guys should've waited until the off season to sign Love. Y'all could have easily cleared the cap room with all the draft picks y'all have as sweetners. You don't think the 76ers would take on some salary for a first rounder? Throw Bennett in y'all can send out whatever salary you want basically. I'll admit I'm not privy to your cap situation but if there is a will, there's a way. The cap is only a problem if you lack draft picks.

    Regardless of how Wiggins pans out, he's already a plus defender due to his athleticism and length. LeBron is now the only plus defender on the roster. Keeping Wiggins would've given your team more balance and reduced the wear of LeBron by him not having to guard the opposing teams biggest threat night in, night out.

    This trade makes your team less balanced. Before the trade you would've had a top tier offense along with a legit (and possibly top tier if Varajao can stay healthy) defense. Now you'll have a top 3 offense and a bottom of the rung defense. That's not a winning recipe for championships in the NBA historically.

    Despite my pessimism, I would probably put the Cavs as my second favorite team. With that said, if Rose is healthy, the Bulls are more of a favorite now in my eyes, at least in the East. They'll have a top tier defense regardless of Rose's health and they've loaded up on offense. If they even have a league average offense, they'll be the favorites, at least from a purely basketball stance.

    I can't agree. the NBA is all about flash and me, me, me. There is VERY little us, and a whole lot of "look at me".

    I know the Spurs win with a team first attitude. But most people don't even know who they are. Most people know Lechoke lost the finals more then the Spurs won it.

    That is the problem with the NBA.

    The only part of an NBA game that is exciting is in the last 2 minutes if the game is close. Otherwise it is boring

    No. Baseball revolves around every pitch.

  • For the people who wantied to just sign Love as a free agent, you're assuming that he would make it to free agency. Minnesota would trade him for Greg Oden's ass pubes before they'd let him hit the open market. The cavs gave up a lot of potential and relatively cheap talent, but Cleveland fans have been through enough rebuilding; it's time to win.

    At the deadline, probably. If they can sign him to a 5 year extension? That's a different story.

    Y'all have the best player since MJ on your roster. Damn near every NBA player would love (no pun intended) to sign there. Do you really think Love, with his current reputation, would turn down a less than max deal from the Cavs next summer? Hell if y'all kept enough cap space for 2016 Durant would have to take a serious fucking look at joining the Cavs. I'm not sure how it would work positionally but you'd have to make that happen.

    With that said, if you motherfuckers poach Durant I swear to God there will be a new Civil War between Oklahoma and Ohio. I don't want to meet any of you assholes across trenches so I guess I'm in favor of the Love trade now, as long as you lock him up long term.

    The fact that you've seen this played live amuses me greatly. As does your assertion that I'm a pussy for deriding a fake game based on children's fantasy novels beloved by absolute fucking nerds. You can keep it, I'm sure it suits you.
