Playing next to Lebron is going to help a ton.

He did nothing to make all the teams/players wait on him..he wasnt out in the media EVER during this process...haters gonna hate...i get it
That's a bit simplistic. Bosh and DWade were waiting on him. And Houston wants Bosh. So Houston was waiting and a little nervous about Parsons' offer sheet. Could those decisions be made independently? Well yes, but it wasn't going to happen.

To James' credit, he made this decision in advance of Bosh having to give his final answer to Houston. And it's July 11th...only 1 day after the moratorium ended. I have no problem (now) with the timeline. I did have a problem when it appeared he was headed for Brazil without making a decision. He has a right to still be miffed by Gilbert's letter. It stayed up for 4 years, only to be taken down now that Gilbert can profit off James once again. Good for Cleveland. And maybe GREAT for Minnesota. If James wants Love, TWolves hold out until Wiggins is included in the trade package. Cavs have no choice if LBJ wants Love in his Big3. That team is a LOT deeper than Miami. Kudos to the NBA for stocking Cleveland with 3 #1 picks. I have no idea how it happened, but isn't this what the league wanted all along? Could there be a better story? It's been talked about ever since he left; that he might return.
 
Is this Cavs team better than the James' Heat squads? Obviously at the point guard position they are, but Wade is clearly better than the Cavs 2, Bosh better than anyone the Cavs have up front, and the Heat role players better than anyone the Cavs have.

I don't see the Cavs winning it all in either of the next two years if not longer.

the cavs have blatt

and blatt can outplay any coach

epic..

Telling that LeBron's essay talks about mentoring Kyrie, Dion & Tristan but no mention of No. 1 picks Wiggins and Bennett?


All together now, All they need is Love. Love Love Love. Love is all they need.
 
Cleveland has a ton of draft picks stockpiled also. They Own Miami's pick next year hahahah top-10 protected, They could get the Grizzlies pick next year also if its between 6-14.
 
No, not currently. Just wait and see how Cleveland becomes a desirable place to play for FA's. I doubt Wiggins stays there much longer, plus they have good draft picks etc to play with. But Wade in the Finals...I don't know if Waiters is much worse.
The East is weak and they should get to the Finals fairly fresh while the West representative will be battered.

Irving better than a broken down Wade.
Lebron = Lebron
Cavs other players (Waiters, Thompson, Varejao, Bennett) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miami.
Cavs may add Miller and/or another veteran with their last bit of space or "room exception"

Lebron has his choice:
1. Weaker team now (but still a contender) with a developing Wiggins.
2. Make Cavs deal Wiggins and other assets to TWolves for Love. It will be costly, as Cavs will be in a "must acquire" mode. And Boston also has a lot of assets to go after Love. TWolves are smiling right now.

That seems to answer the question.
Wiggins, Bennett and a couple of future firsts for Love. It's really a no-brainer for both teams.
 
Sucks to be Granger...

Sucks to be Riley...

Sucks to be Wade...

Sucks to be BOSH... (not because Lebron left, but because he is a MUPPET)

Spurs to repeat in 2015! Go Pops. Then come to Utah.

Will Miami even be able to sign Wade? Anyone else? Will the team formally disband? HA!
 
60 wins ?
If they get Love? Yes.

They may struggle a bit at first. Remember, Miami got off to a slow start the first half of Year 1 as Wade, Bosh and LBJ adjusted to each other. But Kyrie, Love, Varejao, LBJ and Waiters is a NASTY starting 5, with Thompson and vets TBD off the bench (assuming Bennett and Wiggins go to Minnesota in the trade).
 
Will Miami even be able to sign Wade? Anyone else? Will the team formally disband? HA!
Are there even enough remaining FA's for Miami to sign? NBA may have to hold an expansion draft to re-stock their team. I have an idea: just "reward" Miami with the #1 pick in 3 of the next 4 drafts as compensation for losing Lebron. The precedent has already been set.
 
Wiggins, Bennett, LaVine, Muhammad, Dieng, Pekovic, Rubio, Martin isnt a bad core at all.

They have good bench players too.

I'm sure theyre asking for all the draftpicks though.

Suddenly the Jazz have to worry about Miami in the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft ...

Ha ha ha
