    I feel like Cleveland is the new Miami at this point. I believe Kevin love will end up in a Cavs uniform as soon as wiggins is able to be traded. Shawn Marion wants to go to Cleveland. Lebron already grabbed mike miller. Ray Allen possibly. I'm sick of these bought teams. Ready for the bandwagoners. Chapter 2 of this. Here we go

    Love has never been in the playoffs, doesn't play defense and is injured easily.

    Marion, old.

    Miller, old.

    Allen, old.

    They're Lebron jock riders hoping to get a ring. Not worried.

    Lebron ... Biogenesis. I'm wondering who the NBA is going to cover for Bosch singing like a canary about (allegedly) James and Wade buying from him.

    It'd be nice to sneak in and steal Anthony Bennett while they're in this frenzy.

    The love/Wiggins trade is already done, just waiting until the 23rd.

    You're right, they are. But they are also still deadly spot up shooters. Having mike miller and Ray Allen as wings just sitting at that line, they could hit shots for days. Plus, love stretches the floor even more. I still think LA is the best power forward in the game. If you put LA on a crappy team like the timberwolves and he got all the shots, his numbers would be better than loves

    I'm not bitter at all. I watch the NBA to see my team compete and to see amazing things happen. LeBron is the most amazing player since Jordan retired. I don't blame players for wanting to play with him.

    Don't you remember back in 2000 when the best player on the planet weighed 300 pounds and was allowed to knock over anybody in his way? I prefer this any day.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't like it when players prioritize winning over money. Whatever happened to doing it for the love of the pay?

    Yep this always happens. Older good role players/stars go where they can win a ring. Its always been this way iv never had a problem with it. I remember Payton turning down more money from us to go play alongside Malone/Kobe/Shaa

    Minnesota could put a really young team out on the court.

    PG Rubio
    SG LaVine
    SF Wiggins
    PF Bennett
    C Pek / Dieng

    I'm happy for Cleveland. That town deserves a winning franchise.
