And? That tanking to get one of the greatest basketball players ever got them one championship. Compared to GSW, who built a great team, have won multiple championships, and will probably win at least a couple more.

Meanwhile, Cleveland will be in the lottery for the next several years because they decided to sell out everything for one player. Not the workings of a first class organization.

At MOST a couple more.

The Cavs wouldn’t have even Made the playoff since 2010 had Lebron been born literally anywhere else in the entire world.

Their drafts outside of the clippers clippering in 2011 have been abysmal.

Their moves even with Lebron have been mediocre at best (Larry Hughes anyone?)

Lebron saves them from the list only because the post Jordan Bulls, post Ewing Knicks and the laughable wizards are just so bad.

Actually they had won 33 games prior to Lebron coming back and every year they were increasing their win total, and that was with a very young Kyrie. They would have kept Wiggins and waiters and added another player, and add in the fact that Kyrie got a lot better as he got older. They would have easily made the playoffs, especially in the East.

Lebron the first time left them, they had no picks and a bunch of old players. That is why the rebuild took a little longer. It obviously sped up with Lebron coming back again tho.

Also, according to this article Kyrie had several stars committed to the cavs prior to Lebron coming back. Would have been interesting to see how that would have turned out, but it worked out fine with Lebron anyways.

Wiggins waiters and Bennett were all clearly negative players. Why do you think minny has struggled despite Wiggins scoring 20 per game?

And once again they flipped those three for JR Smith, Kevin Love, Iman Shumpert, and a first rounder.

In that 2013 draft they had a ten percent chance of drafting a more impactful player than any of those three. And Oladipo still hasn't been the player Love has.

This is one hell of a circular argument

But we are living in a world where they keep the pick.

Porter has been pretty good as well.

Ah ok. Yes they would've proven horrible picks had they not flipped them

It was a risk on Wiggins he has all the tools he just doesnt GAF

Cavs tanked not once, but twice to get Lebron......and it worked both times. Beat a GS no one else has beaten in the playoffs, and no one but GS has beaten them in Lebron 2.0
quite frankly there is a lot of jealousy of the Cavs on here and the fact that he LeBron is going to go in to the hall of fame as a Cleveland Cavalier.
