    Signing LeBron James as a FA and trading two #1 overall picks for Kevin Love is building through the draft? I'd say it's more the Celtic model of bringing in two veterans via FA or trade to play with a draft pick.

    Really? I think the reason he's going back is because he's from NE Ohio, loves NE Ohio, and wants to go back there after leaving for 4 years. If the Blazers ever draft a Top 5 all-time NBA talent who is from Portland, and has always been connected to Portland, maybe I'd think you have a point. As it is ... what?

    My main thought with this that it doesnt seem like Love has been able to stay healthy lately. I wonder if it could actually backfire on the Cavs at sone point and even lose them LBJ again.

    No, because he won't be expected to carry the Cavs like he does the Wolves.

    Wow with the exception of Wiggins the Cavs are raping the Wolves here. Bennett is a scrub and a low first round pick with the Wolves terrible draft history hardly seems like it will help.

    How they could not demand Waiters is beyond me.

    Interesting point. This is not going to be a strong defensive team like the Heat. They will have to outscore everyone more than beat them defensively

    Wiggins wants to be in Philly. Michael Carter-Williams for Andrew Wiggins?

    Minny did very well. It's rare you get that kind of value for a player who advertised he won't re-sign.

    Wiggins could easily be the best player from this trade.

    Watch loves numbers go way down now. Does lebron always have to have a big three? I don't understand here, he just can't compete with other superstars. Has to form super teams to even win a title

    Of course his numbers are going to go down. Just like Bosh's did in MIA. He won't have to carry a team anymore. Bosh still got paid, and now has fancy NBA-sponsored jewelery. I think Love will make the same tradeoff.
