I hate it, could have drafted 2 guys to fill out our needs.
one at fkn 11, like the K Love Trade couldn't have been any worse.
Doesn't it annoy u Cav fans?

No. This team is out of the Drafting years. We have a window to win a championship. Rookies don't help win Championships.

You posted this on the General Board. Not sure where your loyalties lie as in fandom but I can say from my perspective, I don't think it's as much as a loss as you may think it is.

Like many people said in that GB thread, that KLove trade ultimately looks like this:

CAVS trade: Zeller, Jack, Kasarev, Wiggins, Bennett, CLE 1st, MIA 1st

CAVS receive: LBJ & Love

We can debate till we're blue in the face the "worth" of those draft picks but the fact is, LBJ alone, trumps the worth of that entire package offered, period. That CLE 1st to Boston is gonna be a late 20's pick and the MIA pick, even if we give it a generous 9-12 range, you're still not getting a player that tilts that deal in favor of the against.

Of course, the only downside of having just LBJ+Love is those extra body's for depth purposes that we lost. Would I love that we had kept Zeller/Jack cuz we needed a big man/backup PG desperately, especially, how Zeller has played this year? Of course but again, if it gets you LBJ + Love, you do that deal 100 out of 100.

Now, if Love leaves next year or the year after, then we can revisit whether the deal was worth it, especially, if the CAVS win a chip in the next year or two. I think the city of Cleveland will take that then wait 2-4 years for Wiggins to become whatever people think he might become while LBJ declines slowly or rapidly. We'll never know.

In the end, I'm happy with how things turned out. If I were a TWolves fan, I'd be madder that they gave that pick away for nothing.

No need for picks. This is the year. No 2015 world championship, forget about it for another 20 years.
