FA list is pretty impressive going into next year. Pretty sure they could convince some solid guys to sign up. They've got the Defensive Center, LeBron, and Irving. Add some solid depth and a good outside shooter, they would probably be better off. Interested to see if LeBron plays D when he gets back. Now that Mozgov and Shumpert are playing D, that brings the total to two guys that would be playing D with him. He might actually put forth a little effort out there.

I think Mozgov and Shumpert are huge gets. Mozgov had a huge impact in his first game. IF the cavs can somehow get Kevin Love going for the WHOLE game instead of in random moments it would do them wonders. He also has to get bigger on the defensive end.

Edit: Hell J.R. Smith also went off vs. the Warriors the other night. No W though.

Might end Blatt but dammit he's right. Love's overrated and he's proving it right now.

I do think he is overrated; however, I wouldn't write him off just yet.. If the Cavs continue on this trend after the All-star break, then we'll know.

That's a bold strategy, Blatt...let's see if it pays off for you.

It's pretty common to see some wild players at number three after Lebron and KD. It has been a spot up for grabs, so it often goes to the hot name.

No one was putting Kevin Love at number three, let alone "lots of people".

People had Love in the Top 5 for sure.

I wouldn't say lots of people were, but I remember seeing him Top 5 pretty often at one point. But after that, he had expectations and was penalized for not making the playoffs. So he moved to just outside the Top 10 for a lot of people.

Disclaimer: I did not make the original statement, but I don't think it's as crazy as you think it was.

I'll concede lots of people was probably an exaggeration, but there were some.

love's rebounding numbers distracted people from the fact that he isn't a good defender. he is a top 5 PF, but give me LMA, BG, and AD over him any day of the week. I'm not including the old guys like Nowitzki and Duncan because its given.

I specifically remember getting crushed a bit because I kept saying Harden and Bosh were better than Love.
