Kobe played 6 less minutes though. Kobe was also a lot more polished coming out of HS especially with his footwork and array of moves.
I told ya'll nikkas Andrew Wiggins was a problem....

Once again it's far from a stretch to suggest a hightly touted number 1 overall pick will play well breh. No matter how you try to spin it, you get no points for that.
I know for a fact that @Malta and myself were two of the main posters saying the trade for Love was a bad idea. I will give you props because I didn't see Love being THIS bad.
Until Love is healthy and we see how far this team goes in the playoffs ,it's meaningless to discuss how bad/good this trade was for the Cavs. Nobody is right at this point.
Wiggins is a lot more advanced than you're giving him credit for, his post game is going to be a big problem for 2 guards in the NBA for a long time, the fact he's developing it now at 19 should be
for anyone in the league.Also, since moving to SG, his numbers are still comparable to 3rd year Kobe.
Top is Wiggins....
He's a franchise level talent when he plays shooting guard, this is not to say he's the next Kobe.....just comparable numbers.

If the Cavs lost this trade, who won?
I don't think Minnesota's really in a position where they can "lose" this trade. They got valuable assets for a player that they were going to lose in free agency anyway. It's hard to walk away as losers when you're put in a spot like that

If you stay where you are (hell, if they don't peak any higher than they did before) they failed.
Regardless of how Wiggins does, if in 2-3 years we gotta hear "trade him to the Raptors before you lose him for nothing" then it didn't work out for the other side either
You're on that anti-Hov shyt -
But I will not win, for even in victory
There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens it up for me
Put it like this, Nik Vucevic & Elfrid Payton probably won't ever lead the Magic to the Finals like Dwight did but I don't think that would make the Dwight trade a failure for Orlando.
Durant should focus on winning a title. the days of swooning over his talents are long gone. now we expect results.
and we'll just have to agree to disagree on wade. i never thought he was close to the kobe/lebron tier. he just played an extemely reckless style that looked good in short spurts but long term was unsustainable.

If they stayed where they are then they didn't capitalize off of what they did. If that core doesn't evetually reach the postseason then it's hard to say they recovered from losing Dwight.
Ahh ok, I see what you're saying now. Although I don't think that would necessarily make them the "losers" of the trade, I don't think that moves outside of the trade should affect whether or not it ended up working out the way they intended.
But I do see your perspective.
u would be right any other time. but man there were alot of people on the coli/ everywhere else saying he was going to be a bust.
Really? I thought you of all people would appreciate Wade.
