The numbers will be interesting.

Love will take 42 with the Cavs. Not sure why Meticode questioned otherwise.

Wiggins will be tough. He switched to 21 with the Cavs but that's probably not going to be issued by the Wolves. 22 is taken by Glenn Robinson, but he has no real claim to it so Wiggins could ask him to switch. Wiggins wore 8 for Canada, but that's taken, too.

Anthony Bennett could switch back to his high school number (24).

Thaddeus Young could go for Cunningham's 33 which he wore in high school, or he could swap his 21 to 12.

No idea what Alexey Shved will go with. 1, 4 and 23 are all taken.

Who cares about Moute.

It's retired, Nate Thurmond.

I'll miss you Maple Jordan.

Oh nevermind. When I googled it from my phone at work and it just listed (7) as their retired numbers which meant that they have 7 retired numbers... And not that 7 is the only one retired haha. I also forgot that the Cavs have a ridiculous amount of unwarranted retired numbers.

I could see him just flipping to take 24. Cutting it in half to 21. Taking 50 (yuck) which he wore at one point in high school.

Why does the 76ers do this trade exactly?

Don't see what they got out of this except to make their draft pick better.

My only fear is the Kyrie might turn LeBron into a spot up shooter

He doesn't have the ability, authority or stature to turn lebron in to anything. If anything, lebron will turn kyrie in to a spot up shooter.

Why does the 76ers do this trade exactly?

Off the top of my head, without delving into numbers...

Philly gained more cap flexibility next summer, as Young had a longer contract, and pretty sure Shved and LRM have expiring contracts.
On top of that, Philly picked up another first.

Pretty obvious trade for a rebuilding team with a good, but not great, player.

[DStebb716]

Love will be wearing 0 for the Cavs. So sick of the number 0. It's ugly as **** and so many players are choosing it now. Shouldn't be allowed.

If anybody could wear it, it should be Love, though.

0 for 0 playoff games??

Players they can target next summer that fit their roster...

Kemba
Millsap
Gay
Aldridge
Monroe (if he takes qualifying offer)
Danny Green
Matthews
Wade
Marc Gasol
Klay
Afflalo
Ellis

Obviously the bigs don't fit as well, but that's why I listed only the really good ones.

[DStebb716]

Wiggins got 22, Bennett took 24 and Young got 33. Means Robinson likely switches to 1.
