I think Miami failed to address the elephant in the room... find a rebounding machine in the low post and a shot-blocking rim protector
The market has killed them there.

A rebounder would be nice to have, but they did win 2 titles without a dominant big man and without solid rebounding
Additionally, they could still get big man help this offseason. Perhaps they sign someone like Okafor.

what a rookie buzzkill. Go from playing with LeBron to wasting away in Minnesota

I think Cleveland will be a better situation for LBJ now and easily better for him going forward. Things in Miami have nowhere to go but down imo. They will have zero roster flexibility if he returns and will only be able to continuing bringing in old ring chasers. Not to mention 4 straight Finals appearances is almost unheard of for a team that the majority of their players are on the wrong side of 30.
Cleveland on the other hand has a ton of cap flexibility and young players all over the place. They've got a 22 year old PG with star potential locked up for the foreseeable future and maybe the best young prospect to come out of the draft since Lebron himself. If they trade Wiggins for Love, that team would be so stacked for the next few years in the East.
And you know deep down that LeBron knows the only way he can ever make up for the Decision is returning to Cleveland and finally bringing them a championship.

Pretty sure Okafor would have to sign for the minimum (assuming the big 3 stay). Despite the injury, I can see him getting close to the full MLE. I don't know if he's been linked there, but if OKC misses out on Gasol, Oak would make a lot of sense.
Posted on 7/8/14 at 11:09 am to Respublica88
I disagree. I'd take Bosh/Anderson, especially to play with LeBron.

Andersen and bosh both were younger and more willing to crash for the title runs until this year.
I think the age bug has finally caught up to birdman and bosh has gone full euro
Hence the reason they signed oden but he never could get into the proper shape to run like they do... he would have been a better fit for the spurs or old school jazz.
The free agent market does suck but why not trade utah for their former dunk contest winner(i forget his name) or sign pau and deng ? both are rebounding-team oriented guys.
Shite ...trade cole and first rounders to the bucks for larry sanders

They might not have to. Cleveland potentially has 3 first round draft picks for next year. They aren't going to get better value for Love than that.

While dissecting draft options, sources say Cavs also exploring options on how to house LeBron, Carmelo and Kyrie under salary cap.

#Cavs GM David Griffin: without doing anything team has room for a super-max contract; have flexibility to create more room on top of that

Yea, I don't see the Wiggins for Love as a likely deal. If they wanted to do that they could of done that trade before the draft.
Dion and/or Bennett and multiple 1st round picks is pretty good value for a guy that is leaving.
