but you can say the same about the two turds the Cavs are offering hence why they havent taken that deal either.

If there was such a big gap between both deals like youve been claiming from the Cavs end, then why hasnt Minnesota taken it yet. Its clear they think both deals are shit and there isnt much of a difference. Because if there was, like you claim, then they should just do it. But its funny youre saying the front office blew it on Garnett then want them to take Waiters and Bennett. Wouldnt that just be Minnesota blowing it again? Many would say, yes.

If they get Love, they'll run away with it. Doesn't sound like they will, though, if they're not willing to part with Wiggins (and I wouldn't).

Wade is often cited as the fall-off-the-cliff guy but the risks associated with DRose in Chicago are much, much higher IMO. The guy's missed 115 games the past 2 seasons. Time will tell if DWade can bounce back, he was awful in the Finals, but he was great during the season (with the orchestrated 28 games off) and during the first 3 rounds of the playoffs.

I think you just made a compelling argument for trading wiggins for love.

I am sure Lance is now regretting his antics since it cost him some big money and I bet his Pacer teammates are all high fiving about right now.

Oh, it's pretty easy to make that argument. The Cavs are a 60+ win team right away with Kevin Love. But they'll likely win the East without him there anyway, LeBron is that good.

The real problem in LeBron's way is going to continue to be the Spurs/Thunder.

The Cavs will be a great regular season team either way. The youngsters have never been in the playoffs and their inexperience, I think, will hurt them there. Sure, Bron is seasoned but when is the last time a team largely made up of young, playoff-inexperienced guys won a ship?

The Heat's roster is shit for post-season competitiveness.

That organization has likely missed their shot at building anything meaningful (especially now that the Heat are done), while Lance is still in the prime of his career and has time to build up his own value for his next contract.
