Game 54 | Cavs (37 - 16) @ Minnesota (21 - 34) | February 14th, 2017 | 8:00pm EST | <3

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I'm glad we have Love. Hopefully he's healthy this year's playoffs. However, he couldn't sniff the playoffs in the west either.

Maybe, just maybe. The T-Wolves aren't that great of a franchise and Love is damn lucky to have gotten of there. No telling just how good LeBron would have made Wiggins.

Again I'd make the trade. However, I'm not going to crap on a 21 year because he's with a crappy franchise.

Wiggins isn't even the best player on his team, and Love did a damn good job carrying the Wolves with his supporting cast, not a playoff team but they won a lot of games for having no talent whatsoever besides Love. If Love played with a guy like Towns/Lavine with Thibs coaching, Wolves would have probably been a lot more formidable.

Wiggins is FINE, as a player, he's good, but from what I've seen, I don't think he's a future all-star. Maybe once or twice, but not a perennial all-star, IMO. I see Wiggins as kind of like, the next Rudy Gay?
 
Wolves held to 15 points in 4th qtr.

Cavs bench + Kyrie held it down for the first 5 and a half minutes of the 4th while Bron sat.

Good young team but who's the go to guy in a tight game and where does the execution come from? That will be there mountain to climb over the next few years.
 
Williams played the entire 4th quarter, I believe.
 
I think Kyrie was just tired. He played the entire 4th.
 
Kyrie I'm sure just had to go to the bathroom. Right? Right?
 
Dude D-Will. Looking to have a career resurgence on this team. Mainly because of LBJ, but he just does that to players. At the same time, LBJ doesn't help him finish all the times he's been finishing. That's the most surprising point, did not expect him to finish at such a high rate.
 
Wiggins is a baller. He would look good in a Cavs uniform.

Maybe someday, when that Love contract runs out...
 
Just pop in that game 7 tape

Tell you what I'm going to do: I'm going to go home and put on my Kyrie banana-hammock and unclog my toilet using my Draymond plunger!

(is that TMI?)

The only problem is if he was in a Cavs uniform, where would those two good games a year that make him look like he might actually be an all-star come from?

We'd just have a younger, dumber, worse defending, weaker Rudy Gay clone that got passed up by Jabari Parker pre-ACL injury.
 
Well, he took a team of pure hot garbage to a 40-42 record which would have made the playoffs in the East. But narrative...

When Kevin Love was 21 he averaged 14/11 and won 15 games for the YEAR. Wouldn't it be crazy to say he doesn't have the IT factor and would never be an all star in the west?
 
Can't remember the last time I was so hype about acquiring a role player :chuckle:

How about JR, Iman, Frye, Korver...man, and now Williams. Griff is a magician if you ask me. A few more days until the trade deadline so it'll be interesting to see if he pulls another rabbit out of the hat.

Thats' harsh!

1) you discount the King James factor. Defensive intensity and the beauty of passing--just might have rubbed off!
2) we will never know what our team would have looked like with Wiggins. Folks seem to assume we would not have added additional talent.
3) but I'm cool with Love, especially the confident Love I saw this season. But alas, the snake bit (again). Go Cavs!
