Cavs: and Wolves agree in principle on deal sending Love to Cleveland

[Infinite_limit]

It will take the Cavs a couple of seasons to get rolling roster wise. But yeah pretty much puts James on path to finish with 4 or 5 NBA les

People just say Love cant play D. Its not based in reality

[mavsfan1000]

I'm laughing at you Great Satan for trading the next great superstar for an overrated glorified stat . Wiggins is going to be a superstar while Love will get exposed now that he isn't the number 1 option.

Yep Love stat padded on the Wolves similar to Bosh stat padding on the Raptors. Except Love is even worse on defense and slower.

People say Kobe cannot pass the ball. It's also not based in reality. Both are not "can't" but "won't". Love won't play D.

Niggens isn't going to be a superstar in Minnesota. If he ever goes to Chicago or NY, perhaps.

Love will play D next to LeBron

No he needs a shot blocking center. Someone who can correct his errors.

Agreed Love's defense is just as good as Matt Bonner's defense. Its like Bonner no matter how hard Bonner tries to guard guys he just gets schooled. That is pretty much Love on defense.

Statistically yes. Both have a career D Rtg of 106

Bonners a better defender than he is given credit for. He isn't clueless but lacks the athleticism to be better average.

He is a very good post defender and is almost never late in rotations to the weakside.

The problem with Love and the Cavs is that they have so many poor to average defenders (Irving, Waiters, Love, Miller and Allen ,if he signs) they can't do that trapping that Miami did for the past 4 seasons because they don't have a Bosh like big man who is long,athletic and mobile. Varejao is a good defender but only him and James can do so much.

Marion and Okafor could be nice fits. Okafor is a rim protector and Marion can guard 1-3 and some 4s.

The worst thing about this is endless Love puns we will be forced to hear now that Love is on a team that matters.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Wiggins won't amount to much. Good deal.

Damn, Wiggins is so overrated, tbh, especially from a short-term perspective..

I agree.

Shots fired

Kirby really must think everyone's forgotten how he forced his way off of the Hornets....

[Robz4000]

Depending on health, Varejao is decent enough. And between Love not playing any defense and getting boards and Andy playing defense and playing boards, this team will be a load on the defensive glass from an opposing team's standpoint.

Love is an average defensive rebounder iirc. Him, Varejao, and Lebron will be a force on the offensive glass however.

Lol Cavs going after the most overrated player in the league.

This. They couldn't beat the Pelicans with Davis out
