Cavs going all in.
It's on now.
You guys think the Cavs are now the favorites to make the finals from the East?
Unbelievable that Lebron seems to get whatever he wants most of the time.
Not sure who is gonna play defense on that team... Actually liked the idea of Lebron going back to the Cavs at first but I hate that move, makes it pretty easy to root against them now tbh...

Lebron. Still needing to recruit superstar player in order to feel secured.
Good for Wiggins.
Now he can be a legit contender for ROY
Overrated no-D statpadder who's never been to the playoffs.
Yeah, I think they gave up to much to get him, but who knows.
They're getting a superstar in addition to the overrated stat-padder? Who is it?
Lebron. Still needing to recruit superstar player in order to feel secured.
Cavs are going to be an interesting squad, but still have a lot to prove. Kyrie and Love can both put up big stats, but they are used to doing so by having the ball in their hands and being the primary (oftentimes sole) option.
I still think the Heat had a better dynamic and a more complete and well-rounded bench.
Good for Cleveland.
My money's still on the old, slow guys tho.
People still hate Lebron for "needing" superstars to win?
Stephen A. Smith proclaims that Minny got screwed and should have taken Klay Thompson.
I think Minny made out great. Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a 1st round pick (albeit toward the end of the round).
That's much better than Klay Thompson.
Also... rumor is Marion leaning towards taking less and signing with Cavs... they definitely look like the favorites in the East with Bulls right behind them.
Different GM, same story. Minnesota getting pennies on the dollar
I agree. Not only that, rumor was that Bennett could go to Sixers for Thaddeus Young in third part of the trade.
Stupid s didnt learn the first time.
I'm quite content to see the Cavs give up two #1 picks and $120 million for an "elite" big man who shoots 45% from the field and has never made the playoffs...
Bennett was terrible last year and may only ever be serviceable. If Wiggins is better than Thompson then this was the better deal, but really GSW should stick with Klay - he's great for them.
Cleveland looks good but are no better than Miami was last year, if a bit worse. But they aren't expecting to win it this year, I hope. They'll need to grow into it.
Also, Love is a good piece but I'd rather have a strong defender down low. They'll have to find one.
Lebron would be the GM on 29 teams.
Stupid s didnt learn the first time.
That's a good deal for both teams. Minny got the best they could have realistically hoped for. Cleveland got a legit third star for two unproven rookies and a late pick.
And LeBeta wonders why everyone hates him, when he does stuff like this, it makes people hate 100x more, lol cant win without a stacked team, has to leave to a better team because he doesnt have the balls to go through adversity
The deal would have been even better for Cleveland if they had waited it out.
But apparently they wanna win now. Which they still wont.
Absolutely.
I think Bennett will be better, but more along the lines of a D Gooden type of player overall (I couldn't think of any other good comparisons.... M Williams maybe?).
I do think Wiggins will eventually be better than Klay. Wiggins already seems more multi faceted then Klay who suffers from being satisfied with just shooting 3s.
And I would have to say I think Cle this year will be a lot closer to Mia last year then not. And if Irving and Love get in a groove with Lebron, their ceiling will be a lot higher than last years Miami team. I wouldn't necessarily say Bosh was a good defender down low. An occasional block isn't saying much. So Verajo, Thompson, and Love (when he feels like it) would be serviceable with weak centers throughout the East playoff contenders. For now, I think Cavs will play the defense of scoring more to exhaust other teams on defense and making them too tired to score as effectively.
