"Kevin Love Has "Firm Agreement" He'll Sign a 5-year, $120 Million Deal with Cavaliers"

 

You've got to believe this means Lebron will be in the same situation in two years where he has no bench because all the money is tied up in the big three.

One of the biggest reasons I am waiting for this to flop. Say what you want about the collusion of 2010, but Riley saw that coming and made moves years in advance to put the Heat in that position.

The Cavs did nothing to help LeBron the first time and took him for granted, won the lottery and proceeded to not get close to the playoffs despite their lottery luck with every free agency move and trade backfiring.

What do they get for all their incompetence? Heat part 2.

Life is not fair.

I think it is a mistake personally, but I guess Cleveland wants to to contend for a title immediately after all the losing they have done since Lebron left.

I think they would have been title contenders in a couple years without Love anyway.

I was firmly in this camp but then the Pacers offseason happened. Once you've maxed out your cap flexibility you've got a limited window to make something happen and you can't just count on everything staying the same year to year.The Pacers are now going to waste a season with most of that core set to come off the books soon.

Cleveland is striking while the iron is hot and with the East in a huge state of flux I can't blame them.

LeBron is only on a 2 year contract (and the 2nd year is a Player Option)

 

He is in the prime of his career right now you don't bank on Wiggins hopefully turning into Kobe in a couple years- you take K.Love right now- who Right Now is a Top 10 player in the league and keep the BEST player in the league, who just came back to your roster, Happy.

Great move by the Wolves.  Bennett has potential still and looked good in summer league (yeah I know).   They also get Wiggins would could be the best star in the league.  Better than getting nothing when Love leaves. 

 

Cleveland at least got to keep Waiters.  Love should fit in nice there, since Lebron/others can help hide his bad defense and he can crash boards and score. 

 

I agree that Cleveland has a couple of years of contention.  Then they are the Heat.  So much money will be tied up in those three and they just sent off their future.    But be honest, if Cleveland gets a Heat like team and still makes it deep every year that's still a win for a city that needs a decent team.

TWolves are the winner in this trade... You have a future star in Wiggins and guy in Anthony Bennett who was starting to turn the corner and you trade him for a guy that wouldn't even be there after the season. Really I think Cleveland fuged up

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
