"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

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
