    Wiggins has shown flashes, but overall hasn't really been playing well.

    Love may not be doing as well as expected in Cleveland, but he's still a damn good PF. Last year, per 36 he averaged 26 points, 12.5 rebounds, wile shooting 50% from 2pt range and 38% from 3. And he's a good passer.

    I wonder if they would take Batum/Kaman for him?

    It's one thing to be the #1 option, and quite another to be the #3. Learning how to sublimate your game isn't easy. Bosh did it. I don't think Love has it in his mental makeup.

    Again, I'm amazed at what the Cavs gave up to get Love. He told Minny he was gone, so they were going to get squat for him. And the Cavs gave up the freaking #1 pick in the NBA draft. Mindblowing.

    They gave up TWO #1 picks for him.

    Which Cavs fans? The ones that can name their entire roster, or the ones that can name 3 of the players?

    I believe those are called "LeBron fans."

    Speaking of LeBron fans..... whatever happened to Huevon anyway? I wonder if that dude is still a Heat fan.

    Yeah but they will likely refer to themselves as Cavs fans. For all I know this guy could be salty over some bs, or the village idiot. This actually sounds like the kind of thing a Lebron rider would say. Love has been disappointing, and there's no way he should have ever been considered better than LA. But he is a good basketball player that has never had to play in a team system. Going from it being all about Love to taking the back seat and learning to play with a new set of team mates is a task. The fact he hasnt put it together highlights that he is not a great player, but that doesn't mean he isn't a good one, and it definitely doesn't mean he won't be able to find a way to make it work.

    It's definitely too early to say it won't work, but if he can't fit in to that situation and feels he needs to go somewhere else in free agency then he likely won't ever amount to anything in the league, and the Twolves days will be his golden years.

    I also have reservations about Blatt as a coach.

    Huevon was a Miami fan before LBJ ever came to town. And the cat had great insight about the NBA. Just sayin'

    I think the people of Cleveland need to be patient. James JUST got back home; give your team time. He's not a God.

    That being said, I hope they never win a championship again.

    No way. He was fanning on Heat before Lebron came. Maybe it was when Shaq went over there or something

    Wrong. Nate is correct. Huevon was posting here before any of you newbs even knew what this site was. Huevon was a kobe-Lakers fan, then jumped ship to the heat when LeBron went to Miami. He was a bandwagon fan and got plenty of shit for it

    Anyone notice when it comes to the best PF in the game discussion over the past few years, it is always a different name and LMA. The common denominator is LMA is always in it, so when will people outside of Portland figure out that staying power in that discussion counts for something?

    I do think Anthony Davis is the real deal, he reminds me of what KG and Duncan's love child would play like. He will pass LMA shortly, but I am ok with that.

    I changed jobs, and I really only post when I am at work/bored or during games. So summer time was the perfect storm of changing jobs and no games = I didn't post.

    Now I have changed jobs again, have down time at work and HERE I AM!!

    Doing good, just enjoying the Blazers and Lillard taking the NBA by the scrotum.
