Unless of course if LeBron decides, for whatever reason, to leave Cleveland after 2 years.
I'm giddy over this possibility.

Does Anthony Bennett really feel like a #1 pick to anyone here?

Cavs are stupid. They got robbed. They should have only had to give up Wiggins.
Wow!
They should have held out and called Minnesota ' s bluff
He has a player option, so theoretically he can opt out after one year, right? That would be hilarious.
Kevin Love is a good scorer and great rebounder but HE'S NOT A GOOD DEFENDER. In fact, he's pretty bad.

I believe it's after two.
Good Assessment.This is a fair trade for both teams.
Cleveland - As great as he is, Lebron's 29 and been in the league for more than a decade. He can still play another decade, but he wants to win now and doesn't have the luxury of time. Wiggins may be awesome four years from now, but nobody will take a 33 year old Lebron over his current self. Love gives him a better chance to win in his prime vs. Wiggins - simple as that.
Minnesota - Love was gone next year and you can either get assets for him and bite the bullet now or wait until you leave empty-handed. The protected first is going to be a late pick so it doesn't really matter. Bennett is a role player who is too small to guard PF's and not quick enough to guard SF's, but he could be a competent 6th man since he has a decent shooting touch. Wiggins is really the only thing that matters; he could be T-Mac or a poor man's Rudy Gay, but Minny isn't going anywhere so you may as well let him develop and hope that he can become a cornerstone for your franchise.
They need Love to do what he does well - score, rebound, pass and throw long touchdowns to LeBron. Varejao, TT and Haywood can handle the interior D.

Agreed.Nope. He feels like a 13th pick to me.

How many playoff games has Anthony Davis won? A lot of people consider him to be a top five player in the league.
This is true but a lot of people think Davis is better than love already. (Myself included)In Davis' defense, he's been in the league just two years. Love has been in the NBA, what, six years now?

Point is that sometimes really good players play on bad teams for bad organizations and don't make the playoffs. I think kyrie is very good and I don't think he has made the playoffs either.
T-mac was really good and had yao with him and those teams didn't do much.
Did Carmelo make the playoffs last year? Love playing in a very dominant west didn't help him.
I'm not sure but I think pippen missed the playoffs without Jordan
Is love bad at defense? Definitely
But he is a better passer, rebounder, and scorer than almost every big in the entire league....... including Anthony Davis
