I know he is, but everything else was either factually incorrect (Parker), exaggaretad or oversimplificated. Blatt just won the Euroleague with a roster he had no business doing that. He did the same thing with the Russian team. Those were one of the most impressing coaching feats in the last couple of years. The guy is a certified basketball genius, and he is American. The other points were valid, but Blatt is not a weakness in Cleveland, he's actually a huge pull.

Alright guys, let's get back to some common sense because it seems many of you have lost it. Lebron has not met with a single member of the Cleveland Cavaliers as of today. The rumors that have come out that say they have met have all been debunked. Sunday airplane had nobody from Cleveland. Sunday Dinner with the Cavs, nope, he was with Maverick at ZUMA. All the rumors coming out of Cleveland up to now have been complete bull, so, this brings me to my point. Don't you think that Lebron will have to have a couple of meetings to mend things with the Cavaliers and especially with Dan Gilbert before even considering going back to Cleveland? Until there is confirmation that Lebron has sat down with members of the Cavaliers, I am not sweating it. The only meeting we do know that is going to happen/has happened with any team is Lebron with Riley happening tomorrow. Nothing else is scheduled. Do you really think he's making decisions without first sitting down with the Cavaliers?

Common sense guys. USE IT!

If Wade is not healthy and lazy like he was defensively in the finals, yes Wiggins could do just as good with one year experience. If Wade is healthy I don't make that argument but Wiggins is known for defense and that skill transfers from college ball. Look at PG, Butler, Kawhi all great college defenders and are still great defenders in nba.

Going forward, Wiggins will be the better defender because wade is only on the decline. Wade isn't that great of a defender either and he only is in spurts even when healthy and tries.

Also Wiggins could bulk up a bit, PG aint built either.

He had some valid points until the Blatt part, when the post took a nose dive.

.....Because success coaching Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague is going is translate day 1 in the NBA?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Nooooooooot that. Great coaching will though. I've addressed this above. Again, you had some valid points but the stuff about Blatt just reeked ignorance.

Yea thats still a concern for me as well. Its tough on LeBron as it is to be the leading rebounder.
But I do like that we've upgraded our bench.

yea, but the absolute MOST important position outside of point guard is WEAK

I'll put it this way. I would definitely, front of the line, eagerly sacrifice Bosh for Melo and Pau. I'd do that in a second. If Pau goes where Melo goes and Melo coming here brings Pau too, we have to do that deal. Let Bosh walk

Dwyane Wade gave his blessing to LeBron for letting him opt out of $40+ million and get stuck carrying the brunt for a team with no championship hopes anymore? Did he also say how 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 were his three favorite seasons in the NBA?

Please...

Because the Heat won 2 rings that way. You can't win with double bigs with Lebron. He needs space
