Could it be the Cavs giving up all that they gave for Love (who doesn't even want to be there)? Cavs are a joke. They should have picked up LeBron and kept their other players/picks.

Slight overreaction. Bennett sucks and they aren't getting a first round pick worth a damn anyway.

I will bump this when the Cavs are in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Also, the Colts gave up more than a bag of chips for Trent Richardson.

Cavs gave up Bennet, who sucked dick, and Andrew Wiggins (who's ceiling is Paul George) for a guy who averaged 26/12.


Cavs obviously got robbed.

I think there is some truth to Kevin Love not really being in it. I think the kid wants to be in a Lakers uniform. I do think the Cavs will right the ship eventually. The eastern conference sucks, and this year it's especially shitty. So you can tank half the season and make the playoffs 15 games under .500 sadly in that shite hole conference. I don't know if they'll win it all, but they'll be in it because its just that damn easy.

RGIII trade is not looking so hot. The Giants should have kept Philip Rivers. They gave up a decent amount to get Eli. The Angels trading for Vernon Wells on maybe the worst contract ever. There are a ton of awful trades, but I thought these were obvious at the time even without the benefit of hindsight.

There is no way you can say this.

I'm sure they're crying over it with their 2 rings.

That doesn't mean it was a good trade.

The Houston Rockets declined trading Sampson for Drexler and the #2 overall pick. If they take that, they have Jordan, Olajuwon, and Drexler.

The Rockets won two championships, but you can bet your arse they regret not making that deal. Your logic is flawed.

As a Timberwolves fan, who wishes it were true, it isn't.

It does take time for megatalents to figure out how to play together; Cleveland is going to have to work out how it is going to try to hide Love's interior defense.

It will help, when they get the offense figured out, and can start using effective scoring to soften the blow of not being a great defensive squad.

That said, I hope he bolts Cleveland for greener pastures. Nothing would make me happier than seeing someone give LeBron the middle finger.

I would say that, while it has been a poor start, to have some perspective. However, considering your poor posts on multiple message boards, it's probably moot point.

Anyways. Hopefully they'll pick it up some time. Blatt really needs to get better at rotations though.

The funny thing is that they rotate like crazy overseas. It's like someone told him to play stars more minutes and he took it too seriously.

Could it be that the people saying Love was an overrated useless stat guy were right?

More like he's a huge defensive liability, and when Cleveland gave up everything to get him, they basically forfeited any chance at getting a big defensive rim protector to hide Love's severe defensive deficiencies. Believe it or not Bosh was a decent rim protector and put good effort into defense, Love does not. Then you could add in that Kyrie Irving also sucks at defense.

They did get SBs out of Eli. You could argue that Rivers could've done the same, but what matters is that Eli did it.
