Stauskas looks everything like what McLemore should have been with a quarter of the athleticism. Love how he knows when to flash to the corners which is accentuated with his quick trigger.

No, it's only not contending for ONE season. Lebron isn't on his way out. And who's to say Cleveland wouldn't have been fine without Love for one season? Maybe not championship level but they're certainly not there yet anyways.

Wiggins is so far away from making the type of impact that Love does. Why would you waste 3+ years of LeBron's prime because of supposed potential? The East is so wide open right now, you have to go for the best team you can field.

Everyone has this conversation as though Wiggins HAS to be in his prime for Cleveland to win. He DOESN'T. I'm talking about the exact same team as Cleveland has now, except with Love in the mix. Where do you get 3 years from? All you're doing is waiting one season in order to keep an awesome wing defender and an athletic slasher, and get Love. Instead you get: Dion Waiters.

That's not how it works though. There are salary cap problems and no guarantee that Love would sign outright with the Cavs next year. Why would Minnesota lose love for nothing? They could easily find another suitor and then who's to say Love wouldn't sign with that team?

Again, because Love said he wanted to play with Lebron.

Sure he wants to but there are too many what ifs. Lets say Love gets traded to GSW. They reach the conference finals and things are looking up. Would he leave money on the table and a team he clicked with to play with LeBron? Nope.

Kevin Willis wrote:Lakers make the playoffs this year (if reasonably healthy)

Nash
Kobe
Wesly
Boozer
Hill

bench: Randle, Young (or Wesly), Lin, Davis

That's not as bad a team as ppl think. 3 former All-stars and 2 HOF.

considering the age of Nash and Bryant, I thought Hill was the Grant one.

you know the triangle offense is awesome when dalembert gets the ball on multiple occasions on the high post.

"Best backcourt in the league" combined for 12 turnovers vs Pelicans.

John "better make the playoffs before you talk" Wall with 9 of them.

I loved watching the Knicks last season. I hope they provide us with more entertainment this year.
