    Flip Saunders shoulda took dat golden state deal dat package was way betta then wat Cleveland offered he ? up by being greedy tho. Love betta deliver here cuz dude handled dis situation horribly

    In the short term yea, but Klay and Lee still isn't getting them in the playoffs, Wiggins ceiling is a lot higher and I think he puts more butts in the seats right away and sells more merchandise in the short term, he's a potential superstar in this league...he's a potential bust too but at the very least he gives the fans something to be excited about

    Also im not sure if Wiggins has it in him but he should be SO motivated to try to destroy da Cavs when they match up, id try to drop at least 30 on them ?

    The golden state deal? The one with no Klay Thompson? Y'all sick. Ain't no star coming to minny so this is their chance. They now have two players with high bust potential but if they work out they're gonna be a problem (Wiggins/Lavine)

    Love and Irving have some injury issues, not known for their Defense either, so I wouldn't say they have East wrapped up yet.

    I'm still trying to figure out how Chicago is going to have problems with having depth in the front court? As long as Gasol, Taj and Noah are healthy come playoffs who gives a ? if Nazr Muhammed is seeing minutes? McDermott is going to see time at the 3, Mirotic is the only question mark, I don't know how good he's going to be right away, I see him being more of a project in year one, seeing time when guys miss time which is almost inevitable, unless he ? out on both sides and doesn't give give Thibs much of a choice but to play him and take minutes from Gasol and Taj then I don't see him being much of a factor come playoffs, just a depth guy who will learn a thing or two from his fellow spaniard Gasol on one side and the best defensive big man in the game on the other, depth in the front court is a good problem to have

    Just seems congested. They'll be starting two 5's, they're backup 4 is only a 4 w/ no versatility position-wise, Mirotic is also a 4. He was billed as a 3 but this aint the 90's he's not playing the 3. Mcdermott gon get killed on D at the 3, whereas he would shine as a small ball 4. Its just dont seem like its addin up. No versatility, very slow. That style can win, but not a title. Not anymore. I been sayin the same thing for years w/ OKC starting Ibaka at the 4. We'll see

    Billups met with The Cavs, Gawd Damn Cleveland trying to get everybody

    Cleveland is going to be such a good regular season team I can't wait

    That frontline is suspect and that's with love.You got the bulls winnin the east?

    Well yea they arent 6 deep at the 4 and 5 like the Bulls

    jaguars-fan-confused-wtf.gif

    Aint that many minutes to go around. Yall gon have problems w/ that. Cleveland-

    Varajao/Haywood
    Love/Thompson

    Bron/Marion (small ball 4)

    Only question is Haywood, havent seen him play in a minute. If he is what he used to be thats all they need from him. Most nights they'll play mostly w/ Love at the 5 and Thompson or Bron at the 4. Ngga they good.

    So explain the difference between clevelands frontcourt and

    Noah/Taj
    Gasol/Taj/Mirotic

    Lol @ the bolded that interior defense will be worst than miamis was.You think you know but have no idea what you be talkin about.You're just enamored wit big names like all casual fans are

    @jaemooms ain't posted this much in an NBA thread in the last 4 years


    I still got the Bulls coming out the East, Cavs still have problems playing defense besides Lebron. Gasol, Taj, Noah and McBuckets go eat against the Cavs frontcourt

    well my last job had the web blocked, but new job doesn't. so y'all lames keep me entertained until i get off.

    not impressed wit Wiggins at all dont really see a superstar, i could be wrong tho. Wolves bout to miss da playoffs for bout 5 straight years only thing exciting is him nd Lavine catchin oops they bout to have a smooth 25 wins

    Y'all gonna let the Bulls disappoint you all again.

    Talking about Cleveland's front court not having depth. As if there's any difference between that front court and the ones from the Miami teams that were smacking them around the past several years.

    Varejao >> all of the 5's during the Big 3 era
    Love >> Bosh
    Bron = Bron
    Waiters < Wade
    Kyrie >^100 Chalmers
