So shouldn't Minny jump on any decent deal that comes their way instead of losing him for nothing when his contract expires? The longer this drags on the worse it is for Minnesota. Sounds like they are getting too greedy and end up with nothing.

Unless... of course it's all bluffs, if Cavs really offered Wiggins, Bennett + 1st the Wolves should have taken it and ran.

Bennett is looking really good at summer camp right now.

Irving, Waiters, LeBron, Thompson, Varejao
Bennett swap in with Thompson
Wiggins to rotate in at the 2 and 3
Mike Miller instant offense.
If they pick up Ray Allen he would make the 2nd unit pretty threatening.

Irving, Wiggins, Lebron, Thompson, Varejao
Waiters, Jesus, Miller, Bennett, Haywood.
:notbad:

That lineup has horrible defense, unless they are planning to transform wiggins into a Shawn Marion 2.0......

Well it's not like getting Love would be an upgrade on D anyway.
I still think the package being offered for Love is not worth it!

Not sure what you're talking about....While Irving's and TT's defense may be a little concerning, Wiggins', LeBron's, and Varejao's defense should more than make up for it...

Varejao is a walking injury bound to happen as the season progresses. You wouldn't want Lebron to expend too much of his energy on help defense.

bballguy 07-20-2014 11:22 PM

Haywood is their back-up and he's very solid defensively...Also, helpside defense doesn't require much energy, especially for a guy that is as athletic as LeBron.

Haywood and Varejao aren't too bad.. but fuk, when's the last time neither of them played a full season lol.. If both of these guys go down, TT will be their center? Not sure what the Cavs roster/cap space is looking like but I'd add someone like Okafor for cheap if he wants to contend.. there's not a whole lot of Centers left in FAs'

lol, you're talking about how Haywood and Varejao are always injured, and then suggest that the Cavs should sign Okafor...:awwyeah:

Obsideon 07-22-2014 04:30 PM

Sign Oden too! :troll:

Wiggins main strength going into the draft was his defensive ability. Lebron is Lebron, but this is a very young team overall and we'll see how they respond defensively to new coach Blatt, who is known for orchestrating offenses.

Speaking of horrible defenses... anyone notice that New York has literally the worst defensive starter at every position?

Jose Calderon
J.R. Smith
Carmelo Anthony
Amare Stoudamire
Andrea Bargnani
:lawl:

It's obvious the team is on a semi tank mode or are willing to ride out the season with that team

They should think about trading shump or smith for help next season

Btw. In case anyone is looking for cheap lebron miami heat jersey, it's 50% at sportchek. Maybe he goes back there in a few years lol.

There's also some Kesler jerseys for those that would want to out vrbata in :p

lol :( ..it's ok man.. just buy a Chris Bosh jersey ..atleast your team will have him for the next 5 years.

411ken 07-23-2014 10:23 AM

I wonder when this Kevin Love trade talk will end.. Chicago seems to have joined the fun and would offer Gibson, McDermott and Mirotic.

I'm no insider or anything, but my wild guess would be that it'll end once he's traded.

lol, I actually don't have a LBJ jersey, I have a Wade jersey...I have a bunch of LeBron T's though...Actually the one thing that I disliked about LeBron coming to Miami was that after he came, I could never find any Wade stuff anywhere...

watching snippets of the usa basketball team practice is sick lol

kobe has his game face on even when getting his toe nails done...

Obsideon 07-29-2014 09:07 PM

^ lol ...
Yeah DRose lookin' good. I really hope all his injuries are past him now. He had such unlucky breaks the last 2 seasons.
Sometimes it's more mental than physical, he might be worried that something else will break when driving to the hoop and won't be as aggressive. Making him less of a threat.

bballguy 07-30-2014 01:24 AM

He busted his other knee because he put too much pressure on that one, as he was afraid to put pressure on the already previously busted knee....

Sir_Loin 08-01-2014 06:41 PM

Paul George injury made me throw up, damn shame that had to happen to a young player like him. Reminiscent of Shaun Livingston's leg injury damn..
