Not even trying. Point being LeBron's style of play is a large role in why Love is going to leave. The asinine comment about LeBron being a player to listen to need to be called out.

When has Love done shite, really? You might as well roll the dice with Wiggins and deal him at the trade deadline if he didn't pan out. That was just a panic trade by the Cavs.
The Cavs traded Andrew Wiggins, who was a question mark and MIGHT become a future superstar, for Kevin Love, a guy who just averaged 26\12 and was an exceptional 3 pt shooting\rebounding big man. Which is exactly what the Cavs needed.
For a team that was in "win now" mode that was a no brainer of a trade. If they were trying to build a dynasty and win a championship in 3+ years they should have kept him. But you have LeBron who is nearing the end of his prime as well. You don't start building for the future when you have a the best player in the NBA in his prime. You build for right now.
People are acting like Wiggins is already the next Kobe Bryant or something. Dude is averaging 15 pts on the worst team in the league (the same team that Kevin Love averaged 26\12 on last year and almost got to the playoffs).

Bingo. The Cavs would not be as good this year with Wiggins. He'd probably be averaging like 9 point per game in Cleveland.

This would be hilarious if it happens. Could have had Wiggins and theyll end up losing Love.

Did I miss something...when did Burgundy start posting the cliched Lebron troll posts?

Yep.
From the beginning I said they had until February to figure out what they had in Wiggins. And had they waited they wouldn't have made that trade. Minnesota played them like a fiddle.

It's not like the Cavs won't bring in somebody to replace Love. They will have the money to sign another big name player.

Cavs are gonna get Aldrige next year..... 
Posted on 2/19/15 at 10:51 am to Buckeye Backer
The thing that people are forgetting is that even though Love may want to leave Cleveland, Cleveland might want him to leave, as well.

And he'd be giving you a ton more on the defensive end. Also he wouldn't be crying about having to sacrifice anything. I think that kid would've walked through fire to play with Lebron. So I think they'd be better than people think.

Give his contract to JR and Timofey to split. Cleveland rejoices.

He would be their Kawhi Leonard. Was a bad trade.

Where will he go? I thought he wanted to win? He won't do that with the Lakers right now in their current situation.

Love wants his stats bro

He would MAYBE be averaging ~8 pts with the Cavs. And he is a SF. I guess they would move him to SG so he could play with LeBron?
He wouldn't have added much to the Cavs THIS year which is what they wanted.
He also sucked dick at the beginning of the season and was slumping hard. Probably would have been benched for Waiters and been a bench players. Who knows. Also, Clevelands offense wouldn't mesh as well bc, like the Heat, they need a big man who can shoot 3s to space the floor for Kyrie and Lebron to do what they do. Without Love, they don't have that.
Obviously without Love, they could have maybe got a stretch 4 in free agency but who knows. If they kept wiggins they would never have gotten JR Smith and Shumpert either.
You guys are playing a bunch of what if games but aren't thinking about any of the repercussions besides "oh well, Wiggins might be a bad arse in 3 years durr.. and oh Love might leave Cleveland, but we don't really know."
Love has told the media himself that he plans to not opt out this summer so he can maximize his salary next summer. Also said he would never go to the Lakers. Obviously players say shite to the media that are lies but who knows.
Broussard spewing "uhh league executives are 100% positive he will leave this summer" doesn't seem very reliable to me bc its fricking Chris Broussard but hey. You never know.
A lot of the big media guys have been saying since the season started how teams will leak false information just to frick with Clevelands team chemistry so maybe it's that?
There are a lot of what ifs going around that people are discussing as facts.

Cavs looked pretty bad against the Bulls without Love.

He does A LOT for that team. He's just like Bosh with Miami except not as good defender but better rebounder\passer
Cavs need a stretch 4 to space the floor for kyrie and lebron. Tristan Thompson is a great pf to come of the bench and will give you effort rebounds\points and defend but he doesn't help the offense that much

LeBron just needs to try and motivate him via Twitter again.
