No, he didn't.

Besides, that was a young Kevin Love and back when the West wasn't nearly as dominant as they are now.

Love is the only player on the roster who is an above average NBA starter. And that is all he is. The rest are either bench players or low end starters.

You are terribly overrating your Cav players. I guess some things never change.

This.

I sense a bet.

If the Cavs win 40, @ChiefsLakers67 has to buy and wear a LeBron jersey.

Not sure what @lebron23james would have to do. This could be fun!

i'd take that bet. dude's hoping a rookie, at pick #8 no less, is gonna light up the league...

probably not gonna happen...

Yes he did

2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

And 2013-14 the west was very dominate

You thought Kyrie was a scrub, what do you know?

I know they won 40 games. They had a lot more talent than Cleveland and it isn't close.

Kevin Martin was a legit 20 per game scorer. Pekovic, while his career was cut short had an awesome season that year averaging something like 17.5 and 10. They also had some really good role players like Corey Brewer, JJ Barea and Ricky Rubio.

Literally not even close in terms of talent between these 2 groups.

And i never said Kyrie was a scrub. I said he was overrated. Big difference.

Yeah.....Martin and Pekovic were pretty solid players.

its certainly not good....but rank the teams in the East

1. Boston
2. Philly (unless they get Leonard)
3. Toronto
4. Milwaukee
5. Indiana
6. Wizards
7. Heat
8. Pistons
9. Hornets
10. Knicks or Bulls?

If Indiana signs Tyreke Evans i think they are a solid 5 and those top 5 teams in the East are fairly indisputable.


After that, i mean.....its not like any of those teams are that good- the Wiz, Heat, Pistons, hornets, Knicks or Bulls....

out of all those teams- id rank Wall as the best player on them, but after that is Kevin Love #2? Maybe Beale? Maybe Griffin? Def. Porzingis but hes broke this season

I think your top 8 looks pretty clear cut to me. The Hornets may go in tank mode and I expect the Knicks to be pretty bad with Porzingas missing most of the year.

Cavs could easily be battling the Bulls and Nets for the 9 or 10 spot, but make no mistake, those are not good basketball teams. 37 wins is probably the ceiling.

personality wise? LeBron is a dick. I ahve said that before. He hamstrung the Cavs with those 1 year deals.

As a pure player- just WATCHING a guy- i think i had more fun wawtching Kyrie since he is just so fun to watch

when you have LeBron James you make a deal with the devil to a certain extent--- he will get all the credit and none of the blame, he will make you bend over backwards to accomodate him--- he will even say stupid shit like "I really like and wnat to play with Shabazz Napier"-- and then wait till 7 days into free agency until your team is screwed over and THEN leave.....he will do a lot of things that fuck you up

in the end - its worth it- hes the best player since MJ--- maybe one day he will even be considered better. Its a helluva lot of fun and a great ride. But make no mistake, in a lot of respects, its a deal with the devil.

With every post, you are doing exactly what we’d thought you’d do.

So James didn’t leave here cause of Mike Miller?

It’s ok

Too soon to rank until we see where Beasley and Khawi end up.

True.

I was more focused on the bottom than the top. Difference makers like those 2 could change it all though.
