i'm so happy Wiggins get's out of that shithole city/team and now I can cheer for him. Seems like a dude happy to be playing for the Twolves and is willing to carry the load unlike some named Kevin Love

The funny thing about that billboard is it probably pissed off more Miami fans that now became Cavs fans than it pissed off Cavs fans.

And the last person we should be applauding is that piece of shit Dan Lebe-tard, who decided to make a complete mockery of the MLB hall of fame voting process.

Flame away. But I still hate the deal.

Dan Lebetard is by far the best thing on ESPN radio because hes the only one that isnt a kiss ass and he actually has fun intertesting interviews with guests. Hes a Miami homer but who cares. The funny part is those billboards were being talked about for TEN days on his show and when ESPN suspended him they said they had no knowledge. He basically proved the suits in Bristol do not listen to his show, which is hilarious. The guy has (had?) a great gig on ESPN compared to everyone else who sucks on it.

he only did what he did cause places like deadspin and that hack at ball dont lie on yahoo called him out by being blocked by some Cleveland newspaper (which if you listen to his show he actually wasnt)

Wrong. Piggy back? No, you said you were the only one. You said wiggins want going any where. Exactly what have you said that is actually true?

I understand it. I do. I like the trade obviously. Building around LeBron love and kyrie is smart though.

The MLB HOF voting process is well worth mocking. I'm glad he did that.

The deal makes them a near lock to win the East for the foreseeable future. There are worse situations in the NBA.

Like I've said before, why couldn't you also win the East by adding a $15M guy and keeping Wiggins? That's what is always going to bother me. Love is obviously going to make this team much better. But their bad defense is now going to be terrible and they still don't have a rim protector. If they kept Wiggins and, say, traded for Al Jefferson they would have maintained the same cap and they'd be unbelievably well balanced.

Uh. I think Jordan is trying to help my hornets win games. Giving up our best player would seen counter productive. So yeah. Hands off.

Replace Jefferson with any rim protector. DeAndre Jordan. Omer Asik. Etc.... The Cavs could have waited until midseason and traded for a guy and probably could have done so without giving up Bennett.

Instead, what you now have is 4 offensive players, 2 of which are selfish, the other 2 (Lebron and Love) who deserve a lot of touches. You have 3 guys who play horrible defense. And you have no true rim protector. And Varejao who is a solid rebounder, decent enough at defense should be coming off the bench, not starting. And throughout this process, there isn't a single player who can come off the bench and sub in for Lebron because he is the only damn thing that's keeping this defense from being a complete nightmare. Oh, and let's not forget that Dion Waiters is a free agent next year, so now they also have to find themselves a shooting guard next year because there's no way they can eat up his contract next year. So next year, they walk into the season with no shooting guard and no center. Good thing they can use the draft to... Oh wait. Good thing they can use their available cap space to... Oh wait.

I think the Cavs should have built around their youth but can understand thinking Lebron needs to win now. Lebron still could have "won now" through an alternate route. That alternate route would have the right balance between guys who want the ball and support players. Defensive players and pure offense guys. Bench depth. Young guys under contract for several years. Inside and outside players.

He is assuming the Mario Chalmers role of fetching towels and being yelled at.
