Rob says this about everything. This is maybe the first time I've ever spoken those words lol my only point is it's my opinion that Wiggins defensive numbers are the way they are because of the team he plays on. And that if he played on the cavs from day one, his defense would not be an issue.friendfromlowry;1778047 wrote:This is word for word something Rob would have said.

Haven't been on here and this has probably been posted but there was a rumor flying around over the weekend of Love & Mozgov for Demarcus Cousins.sleeper;1778016 wrote:Reality happened. Kevin Love hasn't done SHIT in Cleveland. Needs to be traded if the Cavs want to win a title. Griffin knows too and is already looking to move him.
PS....wouldn't want Wiggins if they gave him back.
And Blatt should've had his offer rescinded once Lebron decided he was coming back. He was in way over his head trying to coach a bunch of superstars. Blatt is ideal getting the best out of young/moldable guys. Have no idea whether Lue will be the answer as I think "Lebron's gonna Lebron", i.e. "do what Lebron wants" so I don't know how coachable he is.

I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to the rumors but it's interesting to hear.

I think Cousins would fit in nicely but, like you said, probably nothing to it. I thought it was interesting that one of the NBA writers said that a week prior to Blatt's firing, he (Blatt) said "it's either me or Kevin Love" (something to that effect).SportsAndLady;1778070 wrote:I've seen the cousins rumor too.

I just don't see what on earth the Cavs could offer for Cousins. It's not like the Kings are falling apart and they want to deal him. And he's more valuable and has higher potential than Kevin Love, and they gave up two #1 overall picks for Love. Just can't see what the Cavs could offer?

Sure was. They were never going to win a ring with him coaching and Griffin knew it. They paid $2 million/yr to an assistant (Lue) as a "fall back" plan. He is a great coach teaching younger guys but not the guy to deal with the hand he was dealt (superstar ego's). You could tell Lebron had absolutely no respect for him. A blind monkey should've been able to coach that roster to the Finals once those trades were made.Commander of Awesome;1778084 wrote:Yeah way over his head to the finals his first yr as a beach coach. /sarcasm

On one hand, Blatt never played in the NBA or at a very high level, so you wonder if players gave him a chance for respect as a coach.
On the other hand, Erik Spoelstra had a similar background and he seemed to do okay with LeBron, Wade and Bosh in Miami.

It's going to be tough to find any team that would take Love especially since he has underproduced with his massive contract. We are stuck with him unless a miracle happens.BR1986FB;1778055 wrote:Haven't been on here and this has probably been posted but there was a rumor flying around over the weekend of Love & Mozgov for Demarcus Cousins.

Also, not a fan of Lue as a coach. Blatt may have not been the answer but I have no faith in Lue as of yet. He's an unproven liability at this point.

Spoelstra had Riley. The Cavs organization doesn't have anyone like that.Azubuike24;1778098 wrote:On one hand, Blatt never played in the NBA or at a very high level, so you wonder if players gave him a chance for respect as a coach.

Kyrie looked awful on that last series. LBJ, and Love flanking you on the wings and you decide to just dribble a shit ton, and then throw up a contested lay up. Pass the ball.

No matter what happens, the decision to trade Wiggins was Lebron's choice. I would have preferred Wiggins over Love any day of the week.

Quicker ball movement could make Delly shine a bit if he can hit the shots because he's going to get them.

I still say we gotta give it a couple weeks but I've seen nothing yet that makes me get excited about what might be to come. They don't play any style for consistent minutes. Just frustrating to watch.
