Love is glorified floor spacer who gets you rebounds

Wiggins can space the floor for you too, plus he can run with you and defend.

Don't be fooled by Love's numbers :lol:

Cb alone should've been enough to stay. Then u got a proven injury prone star and u leave him for an unproven injury prone glorified Jamal Crawford. He deserves everything that's happening. Hey let's trade Wiggins for love....

I don't know about this.

Not saying you, but the majority of his haters on here were crying about how Cleveland was "sooo deep now." You don't remember dudes were all upset how he has a young all star in Kyrie, a "legit" all star in Love and even a young talent in Dion Waiters?? Yes, THAT Dion Waiters. OF course the narrative changed about the "great young talent Dion" once he went to OKC but dudes were even trying to big up Dion to try and prove Lebron had such a "deep, talented" squad in Cleveland now.

Then when they got JR and Iman, dudes were screaming bloody murder about how he has all this talent yet when those two played in NY they were straight "trash."

Now all of a sudden y'all saying he should've stayed in MIami? Come on now.
 
We're not doing this again. Lebron was an elite jump shooter during those Miami years. The numbers support it.

Love is better at what tho? I think Wiggins could've complimented his game more. Love has been so far, an injury prone big who can rebound, shoot and can't defend. Wiggins was a 10 year old athletic wing, who can defend and play at a tempo your injury prone pg likes to play. It was a risk worth taking IMO

Lerbon doesn't have 10 years.

Wiggins wasn't a dead lock #1 pick, he was a pick that was going to require luck and an awesome development program to reach full potential. Lebron doesn't have to take that risk.

Love is better now, will be better next season, and will probably be better the year after that. Kevin Love is not a great defender but he's not Enes Kanter.

Cleavland got the 6th best defense in the league so love can't be that bad.
 
People are hating on Kevin Love the same way they hated on Chris Bosh in the thankless third option role. :lol:

Now everyone loves Chris Bosh.

History repeats itself but NT refuses to learn the lesson.:lol:
 
LeBron is trying to take Kobe's shine and out-decline him

as premature as the answer was, i think i will have to agree famb. if you were have to pick one current player and predict how his career with end, there's no reason why curry aint one of the first names to be brought up.
 
LeBron James is the PF killer.

Look at the stats of PFs before-and-after Lebby. Their "worst years" come when teamed up with him (as far as statistics go).
 
Lebron is in obvious decline

But he's already been ti the finals since coming back to the cavs and looks like he'll be back there again so it isn't all bad there

only so much basketball to go around, Lebron is PF at this point, so the PF has got to move out their comfort zone to accommodate Lebron. Kevin Love and Bosh were great on the elbows/ mid post, they gotta shift to 3 point line for spacing.


Their box score stats suffer, but they get to win more games and be a championship contender. I think it's a fair trade.
 
The idea that he was better off in Miami is really just crazy. That core was cooked, and it's clear mickey arison is only willing to spend so much to win.

It's pretty clear how much Lebron was propping them up especially on offence.
 
lebron is still a top 5 type of guy. why wouldnt he be? keep in mind hes a heavier type of player and heavier dudes have shorter shelf lives.and the slander for Rose seems to have shifted to Butler.Whilst Golem n Co still winning games easily.
 
Until Dray is in a situation where his usage rate is upwards of 30% which it isn't close to right now, then the whole Dray > Blake thing is a farce. Almost 80% of all Draymond's buckets are assisted and while that number is high with blake too, it isn't close to being that high. 

Their assist percentage is virtually identical while blake is sporting a higher usage rate so it isn't even like Draymond is a better playmaker. Blake is getting 5 assist a game while commanding a 30% usage rate and putting up almost 24ppg. 

So like I mean, it's cool to say Dray > Blake, but nothing really supports that.

Man, Miami was dead after 2014. They had zero flexibility and whiffed on the draft pick they had that June.

If he's still there a lot of the parts they have now aren't. That group ran its course. And even with their mini overhaul they're going to top out at 45-48 wins and maybe a 2nd round appearance. and the Wade injury that's sure to come hasn't hit (funny there's no maintance plan without his crutch)

You are correct sir. 
 
Lebron was smart to leave Miami.
The only reason Wade plays so much now is because Lebron is gone.
If Lebron was still that crutch, Wade would still be calling in sick to work.

OKB is all the way right
