Wiggins becomes a SUPERSTAR, Love and LeBron leave in 2 years.

[JohnFreeman]

Why are people forgetting how good Love is?

[russwest0]

forgot him...yeah top 5...

So he's a top 5 PF in the West, has injury concerns, is strictly a one way player, won't commit to any team for the longterm, and thats better than hanging onto Andrew Wiggins (on a cheap 4 year deal) who has through the roof potential and could end up being a 2nd or even 1st option on a championship team?

Sorry pal, I just don't see the logic here.

op is so ****ing scared hes trying to convince himself that the cavs getting Love will hurt them

- What injury concerns? As far as I know he has no lingering injuries at the moment..

- I said top 5 in the league...i'd probably take him over Blake on some teams (like the clippers)

- He's not "strictly a 1-way player" he's one of the best rebounders in the league.

- cheap 4 year deals don't matter when you're operating as a capped out team like the Cavs will be next year when irving's extension kicks in

- Demar Derozan is not a 1st or 2nd option on a title team... sorry

You think Wiggins' peak is going to be DeMar DeRozan?



And congrats, he swallows up rebounds. Still doesn't play defense.

Also, this league basically = West. You list the best talent in the league, you're basically listing all guys from the West and LeBron.

I was going to say that he's basically the Harden of PF's, but he's less durable and can't even get a team INTO the playoffs, so I'm not sure what to say about him

No...actually you think that

And he's not that bad on defense...factoring in defensive rebounding i'd say he's a net zero on that end...not bad, not good..people act like he's james harden or something

[russwest0]

Dude couldn't get Rubio, Martin, Pekovic, Brewer even into the playoffs as an 8th seed and yall want to call him a star

So you trust my opinion from months ago after Wiggins worst game more than actual NBA talent evaluators?



And yes, Love is horrid at defense. Queue to the hundreds of clips of him choosing to box out his man for a possible rebound rather than actually play help defense.

Melo didn't make the playoffs playing in an all-time bad conference...is he not a star?

Wolves in the east would be like the 3rd-6th best team

Those names are suppose to mean something? Rubio can't even shoot

No i don't....I'm just pointing out the logical inconsistency of you criticizing them for making this trade while at the same time saying Wiggins is "DeMar DeRozan 2.0"....personally i think he ends up something like Paul George...

No Love is not horrid...there is no proof that he is....statistically he actually grades out positively...

[russwest0]

And that means what, exactly?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

And that means what, exactly?

they would be in the playoffs and meet your requirement of needing to make the playoffs to be considered a star...
