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

[tremonthustler1]

I actually think Cleveland is the ideal situation for him. He won't have the pressure to lead a franchise here as he would with the wolves. Having the best player in the world teach you how to be a champion is always a plus. And as he matures both physically and mentally,he'll take on a larger role as LeBron cuts back. Same with Kyrie.

he wouldn't have the pressure to lead Minnesota (unless Ricky left)

Cavs have the best player in the world in his prime and u nikkas still looking to rebuild

Rebuilding time is over. Time to win championships.

Make the damn trade.

Yeah it's just more would be expected from him right away. I think he could thrive in either situation but he won't have to put as much pressure on himself right away in Cleveland.

That's a big gamble either war. Love puts them in contention right away.

LeBron and the weak Eastern Conference puts them in contention right away.

 

[TheyCallMeAzul]

The golden opportunity to win now isn't important. Think long-term & keep Wiggins. He'll be better than Love by time LeBron's 35

 

[NatiboyB]

It's been reported he'd signed an extension beforehand. I'm just leery of trading long term success for short term success.

Remember Love is only 26 and his game isn't dependent on athletic ability he could have another decade left.

Could be. East isn't done reshuffling yet though.

Paul Milsap, Al Jefferson, DeAndre Jordan, Kevin Love, Omer Asik, Brook Lopez, Marc Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge, Roy Hibbert, and Jeff Green are ALL unrestricted free agents (some of them have opt out years as well) next summer breh.....we need to just keep Wiggins and pick and choose out of these big men next year

I thought you were a Lakers fan breh

BTW, I'd trade Wiggins in a heartbeat. You plan long term but there's no guarantees that things will set up like some of y'all are wanting. I'd go for the trade & lock up that core...Bron-Kyrie-Love is a dope young core to build around

Lebron is in his prime and will soon be on the downswing of his career please......stop the fukkery and sell/trade/whateverdafukk the farm for Love.

Exactly, bron not going to wait 3-4 years for wiggins to pan out

Excellent point. Sometimes I forget he's a young guy himself.

If the Cavs want to stick with Wiggins they're gonna have to get rid of a combination of Waiters/TT/Bennett eventually regardless. TT is on a contract year and I doubt they wanna shell out the rumored 10 million + on him. With LeBron there having a logjam of perimeter players looking to score is redundant as him, Kyrie, and Wiggins can cover that so that makes Waiters expendable. I'd offer those 3 mentioned plus two firsts for Love asap.


If all these players eventually meet their drafted value someone is gonna have to go anyway. The downside of having five top 5 picks on your team.​

you said that like it's an option worth exploring

 

[dtownreppin214]

I'd hold onto Wiggins, haven't people learned about trading depth for stars by now? they don't have the salary to match Love & just Wiggins, shyt would have to be Wiggins, Waiters and Bennett for him and then you're stuck with 3 max players and not enough caproom to sign anyone else.

This.

IMO one of the main reasons Lebron left Miami was the lack of depth and Wade taking mini-vacations throughout the season. For the first time in his career dude looked legit tired during the Spurs series. I'm sure he's talked to the Cavs organization and explained to them to not expect him to play ridiculous minutes throughout the regular season anymore. Wiggins + Waiters allows flexibility with the rotations to spell him some rest on the bench.
