Probably one of the people saying Bennett was "the worst number one pick ever" last year. For the record I hope he does get a chance to develop his game and become a good player. Obviously dj never heard the saying "if you cant say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Naw I did but when fans of another team are inferring that they got the way better end of a trade and can't be subjective when looking at there own team and wanna act like "know it alls" it's pretty comical to point things out .

Pointed out that

1 cavs bench is severely under talented
2 wiggins and Bennett are in a good situation in mn
3 cavs will struggle and weren't going to completly out of the gate destroy the league
4 that kyrie was injury prone and could really effect the season for the cavs
5 that Lebron at this point in his career won't dominate and win all the games for the cavs
6 there's better teams right now in the league
7 that adding klove wasn't going to just tip the cavs into a unstoppable situation
8 if things go bad this season love can leave and they traded wiggins and Bennett for a one year rental

Now I got told I was a idiot for believing those things . And I said I'd come back and bump it .

Now I still feel the cavs will make a deep playoff / finals run , but it was just comical that cav fans thought this entire season was a cake walk .

I think most Cavs fans were excited to watch the team grow. Instead they injected steroids and can't keep it up in crunch time.

He's looking much better in Minny. TBH I for one didn't think he was a bust. Some players just have a different learning curve.

Yea I agree that "some" fans not all thought that since the got LB it was a done deal. Also that they "Won" the Klove trade. Which imo was fair for both sides. But atm it looks like Minny won that deal.

I agree fully with the bold statements. 100% and I don't think its debatable. You just seem to give off a trolly vibe in this thread. But with that said I agree with you. I thought the cavs made a huge mistake trading AW who I thought was the perfect piece beside Lebron and Kyrie. But getting a proven commodity like Klove is not something teams often pass on. So it made sense. The Cavs roster just isn't a good fit atm. But its early to either turn things around or make some moves by deadline.

My guess is Dion will be moved for something of "need'

Just like to add that AW is looking quite legit and starting to show more and more why people were so high on him. He put in work against Rudy Gay last night. At the very least 3D type of player.

With all the injuries on the Wolves team, It's really giving Wiggins the opportunity to play and improve game to game and lately be the main option. He makes a ton of mistakes, but it's a very good situation for him.

Most of this has nothing to do with the thread. And if you go back and read through previous threads probably 90% of us were against the love trade.

Yes, 15 games in we can definitively say who "won" the trade. :roll:

For those crowing so early about Love's demise, don't you have homework to do and acne cream to apply or something?

The trade benefactors won't be decided until after the playoffs and free agency. If Cleveland falters and/or Love doesn't resign, obviously that means the Cavs lost big time. OTOH, as a Wizard fan I will say I think Cleveland added a real solid player in AJ Price. He's not ball dominant and he does score efficiently, a great PG to play with Lebron. Irving can play some two or just rest a minute or two more, now with a competent backup PG.

Interesting trade. Wiggins is going to be good. I think it probably would have been better to keep him, but I don't feel confident to argue either way as to who won the trade.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.
