LOL at all of you who in the summer were clamoring to keep Bennett. That dude is 7pts and 3reb right now...for the Wolves! He's a poor-poor-man's Thompson.

A lot of people were, a good amount on here after he had like a 15 and 15 summer league game.

I don't recall who....but I seem to remember that talk by a few. But also, I've been wrong before.Commander of Awesome;1678685 wrote:Who was clamoring to keep him?

I thought it was more like people were clamoring to not give away Wiggins and the fact Bennett was good in summer league was just fuel to that fire (in the "see, we don't need Love if he's progressing like this" fashion).

It was this for the most part. Wiggins is who people cared about.Heretic;1678736 wrote:I thought it was more like people were clamoring to not give away Wiggins and the fact Bennett was good in summer league was just fuel to that fire (in the "see, we don't need Love if he's progressing like this" fashion).

You mean Wiggins right? I would have traded Bennett for Love in some sort of deal that didn't include Wiggins but I thought the trade was stupid to give them both up for Love. Wiggins was the prize, Bennett was some icing.Benny The Jet;1678478 wrote:LOL at all of you who in the summer were clamoring to keep Bennett. That dude is 7pts and 3reb right now...for the Wolves!

Not only was nobody clamoring to keep Bennett, but the poor poor man's Thompson comment makes no sense (assuming that was referring to Tristan).
Per 36:
TT: 13.3 pts, 10.1 reb, 0.7 asst, 0.8 stl, 1.4 blocks, 48.4% fg, 16.8 PER, .122 WS/48
AB: 15.7 pts, 7.2 reb, 2.3 asst, 1.3 stl, 1.3 blocks, 52.9% fg, 18.3 PER, .114 WS/48

Right, I should clarify...people were on here saying no to the deal because Bennett was involved. Because he had 2 good summer league games and had lost some weight. And get outta here if you actually think Bennett is better than Thompson. Bennett may go down as the worst #1 pick ever.

I know you said "may" but guys like Kwame Brown and Michael Olowokandi are probably worse. There were guys before them that went at #1 that were much worse.Benny The Jet;1678820 wrote:Bennett may go down as the worst #1 pick ever.

Cavs won but it's feasible that they go 68-14 and still miss out on the playoffs....

Yes, been a pleasure to watch. Starts with irving playing defense imo. Also waiters sucks.Midstate01;1678942 wrote:Much much better the last two games.

LOL at your terrible analysis of the issue.
I don't think someone who averages more W/S per 48 is a poor-poor man's version of the player who is averaging less than him.
Tristan may be better, but Bennett is not a poor-poor man's version.

Doesn't specify how the cavs will get someone, but interesting names.

Yup, if he keeps putting in that type of effort, he will only keep improving. Reps to Kyrie for taking on the role, hopefully this is part of him growing up.Commander of Awesome;1678970 wrote:Yes, been a pleasure to watch. Starts with irving playing defense imo. Also waiters sucks.
It drove me nuts when Wall went off on the cavs last game. He only had 6 this game.

LOL:
Based on history, a lot of top point guards in the league just started drooling.

Of that list of guards. I'd prefer foye over any of them. Gives them someone who can score in a hurry off the bench.

He would be a slightly upgraded version of Waiters. A me-first chucker. But at least he can play off the ball a little.ernest_t_bass;1678981 wrote:Mayo would be a nice fit. Back in his home state.
