    LaVine - Wiggins would be the most athletic, least skilled back court in the league. Both players could end up as complete busts due to their low skill and high potential nature.

    Varejao is a better mid range shooter than Gasol, which is better for Lebron, no post game vs elite post game though, but that is meh (sorry meh) for lebron, but he can defend, that's a plus, he's injured a lot, but Gasol has two almost dead tendons so that's a crapshoot either way, oh and he likes Cleveland, so that's good for Lebron and he could be their UD.

    The Cavs can possibly be more dangerous with Wiggins, Kyrie, and Lebron than Love, Kyrie, and Lebron.

    wiggins still has to develop. kyrie does as well.

    love is ready. that trade could be the thing that gets lebron to pick the cavs because they would be competitive next year with love.

    It's amazing to me how teams offer 10 cents on the dollar for Kevin Love. I don't really think there has ever been a player in the history of the game as good as kevin love is that gets so little respect.

    rudy gay doesn't get any respect either and seeing parsons and gordon hayward get max deals it is just funny to me that these teams are spending obscene amount of money for average players.

    But Kevin Love was dissed more:


    • Before the draft when everyone was calling him man-boobs and noone thought he's even make it in the league


    • Then Khan refused to use the maximum max deal on him because they were hoping to give that to rubio


    • Now this where teams want to offer scrubs for him it's pretty ridiculous

    it's clearly Cavs or Heat for Lebron. If he chooses somewhere else after all these, he'll be cursed for life.

    Wow, this would be huge for the Cavs. Wiggins will never live up to his #1 draft position.

    If this us really a possibility, Cleveland should not even hesitate, even if they don't get Lerbon. Love panned out, plus a nasty streak bonus. Wiggins, who knows. Few reach their ceiling, and he seems too nice to dominate.

    I'd keep Wiggins if I wasn't getting LeBron so I'd have a piece to build around locked into a rookie contract. With Love, you get Love and you're up against the cap for the foreseen future. With Wiggins you can add another piece. The ceiling is higher for roster potential. If you get Love now, no way he extends in Cleveland with only an unhappy and injury prone Kyrie Irving around.

    Yeah, weird. Hard to believe. They wont give up Thompson for Love, but Cleveland can get him without giving up Wiggins? And Thompson goes for picks? Sounds like BS. Unless Nike is paying off GSW.

    Warriors are cheap if they do this...

    If they're willing to give up Klay, why not get Love for him...?
