Love have been their highest scorer. He just had a bad game.
Sure its early in the season, but some things wouldn't change. Love is marginalized in Cleveland, just like Bosh in Miami. All numbers are down as expected but Love's shooting has been atrocious and he still doesn't play defense which has been one of the Cavs biggest issues, at least Bosh held down the fort.
Wiggins is so raw but as far as I can see, he's been very active on the defensive end. On a team full of chuckers, I thought Wiggins would've been perfect since he does't mind doing the dirty work and he could make up for Waiters' and Irving's lack of effort on that end.
That and a $15 mil cap could also get them a big man next season (Gasol, Deandre, Hibbert, Duncan)

Oh, I can see Duncan going to Cleveland, I can see how spending 15 mil on Hibbert or Jordan is better than signing Love. Yeah, all make sense to me
I was kidding with the mention of Duncan. I knew over sensitive Spursfan would take the bait.
Keven isnt the issue he has been one of the most consistant players they have. Irving is the problem imo. He either just doesn't get it or doesn't want to try get it. I'm not sure how they thought a volume shooting, ball dominant pg would fit in well with Bron. So yes I think the trade was worth it it just was the wrong player lol
Actually, yes, a big man would be better than Love and his no defense and 39% shooting form. It's a matter of fit. Hibbert is possibly a bad fit but I could see Deandre or Gasol fitting there.
Scoring isn't the issue
Yes but doesnt say much. Regular season stat padder
Jordan sucks, not worth 15 mil, and they have Varejao. Marc Gasol will be hot FA
As unimpressive as Love has been so far, Wiggins is has been worse defensively, worse offensively and overall a negative contributor when on the floor.
Yeah but Varejao is unreliable.
Have you watched Wiggins? He's years away. Maybe they could have gotten a better player for him but the idea of getting a guy who could contribute now was a good one with how raw and inconsistent Wiggins has looked.
wiggins and hibbert with lebron and varejao? that's some scary right there..
They need a shot blocking presence to bail out their bad defenders, tbh.
that's how bad teams are created tbh..
Trading away raw players who may never amount to anything for all stars? Ask Dallas fans if they wish they had taken any of those offers for Roddy B right now or Detroit if they had taken any of the offers for Amir Johnson.
With Lebron on a 2 year deal, they weren't in rebuilding mode. It's gotta be win now, go for broke. They did.
i don't see how is that related tbh.. selling high yes, but if you have to take in players that do not defend selling high is debatable..
meh, i don't agree in the slightest..
Saw the game live yesterday, Kevin Love was absolutely horrible defensivelyI mean, that was the first time I've seen him live so I know its nothing new, but goodness gracious he was atrocious
In a penetration heavy league, the Cavs need a rim protector and not an offensive threat PF who will be used as a 3rd option
Maybe it's just one game, but his stats also shows he gives up as much points if nor more than he scored, ala Kobe
Maybe Kevin Love needs to come off the bench in a 6th man role.
Kyrie should come off the bench imo
Most Cavs fans aren't too fond of Love I think, but they don't necessarily regret the Wiggins/Bennett for Love trade. They know what Love brings on the table and managements prerogative is to win now.
They can still deal Waiters if they really need a big man. It may not be the quality of Gasol or Hibbert or even Jordan but if they can keep the same trio plus another rim protector, they'll be alright.
but would you rather have Love than one of those PLUS Wiggins?
