. It's about whether you even need to add a top 10 guy when his production will undoubtedly take a hit playing next to Lebron

It worked with Bosh. In what situation would you never not need a top 10 guy? This is basically 1 of 2 teams that will go to the Finals, you absolutely have to play for the now.

It's about what you're actually gaining. I don't think the net gain was worth it if it doesn't result in a championship this year. And they aren't winning a championship this year. But that's just my opinion.

I don't necessarily think they're the best team but based on the conferences, I think they have the best odds. And even if they don't win it this season, if they do re-up Love, I don't see how this isnt worth it, especially to keep Wiggins, who we just aren't sure what he'll be.

Plus there's the possibility that Love turns out to be a very expensive rental. Then what do they have to show for all of this?

That's definitely the wildcard in play there. Not sure what their cap situation is like, but they'd probably retool to make a run at someone else in a couple of seasons after that, i'd guess.
