The Cavs Andrew Wiggins/Kevin Love Dilemma*Update* Deal is finalized

[Malta]

Wiggins 7-18 with 1 assist in his summer league debut yet you dudes continue to act like Kevin Love is not enough to trade this guy.

I don't know what I have to say to this... more of the same with this Wiggins nonsense. He's JUST NOT THAT GOOD. His on court production backs this up, yet I still have to deal with threads like this EVERYDAY that glosses over the guy's actual production while talking about this 'potential' bullsh*t.

Wiggins supporters have the perfect strawman argument. Never focus on what's real, just promote what's possible.

Fam, for the trade to work you have to give up more than Wiggins without getting much other than Love in return. It would have to include Wiggins, Waiters and Bennett or Thompson just to get the salaries to match up, you're not just trading Wiggins, you're trading a group of young players in a package for 1 guy who has a max contract.


The Cavs are right where the Suns were right before Nash joined them, this shyt would have been like trading Amare, Joe Johnson and Leandro Barbosa for Jermaine O'neal or some shyt. The Suns were 29-53 the year before Nash joined them with a bunch of guys who were young, inexperienced and putting up numbers (ie. called Losers), guys on favorable contracts while Jermaine was making $13 million.

I don't want a situation like when the Knicks gave up too much for melo and left the cupboard bare. If you can get him good...at a reasonable price. A question I should've asked is what is easier to win with,a big 3 or depth?

Yeah, can't see why brehs aren't realizing that the cavs aren't just giving up Wiggins in this deal.

before this season everyone in the fkin coli was shyttin on Cleveland's previous draft selections now all of the sudden your giving up talented young players? am I in the fkin twighlight zone?

Waiters- thought to be the reason why Kyrie would never develop. Bunch of threads and post calling dude an inefficient 6th man that'll be out of the league soon. What they call him? Philly rock?

Bennett- Just had the worst rookie season in the history of basketball but nah wait he'll develop into the stretch 4 equal to that of Love Fans were considering trading dude for funyuns

Thompson- Cavs could of had Drummond,could of had Drummond,could of had Drummond. Had dudes calling him a low celing energy guy off the bench but now we need him brehs

Wiggins- who knows? I have my opinion on him but let's say he ends up a good player he'll literally be the only above average starting caliber player you end up trading for love, but let the coli tell it now your trading up the farm for a legit 20/10 player.

Might not have to give Wiggins up if that third team helps us out

Where you hear this?

To me I don't see how this is a question at all or all that complicated....the answer for Cleveland is obviously Love. Even if Wiggins is a top 10-20 players 5 years from now Lebron doesn't have that long to wait. Love would be great playing along Lebron since he has no problems deferring and just does his thing . In the Cavs scenario the only move is you give Lebron the most help he can get NOW and hope for the best the next couple years....you don't wait around for maybe's.

Philly rumored to be third team. From Mike Cairns.

Yeah I posted this in the season thread. We'd really be using a cheat code if this happened.

I'll believe when I see it.

I assume Waiters would be Warrior bound, otherwise the salaries ain't working too well

Well we've got a deal then sir. I know they wanted him.



Good lord we need rim protection.

It would make sense... they get picks, and a cheaper alternative to Klay

you start Barnes at sf, Iguodala at sg, and Waiters is your sixth man
