    I thought that team's main issue was chemistry.

    Not sure about the McHale part. I've always felt that the McHale hiring-extension-firing was the biggest blunder in the Morey era.

    I've also felt that the 2014-15 team overachieved with a little luck. Dwight's chemistry issue was already there. It just had not blown out. Looking back, would you not say that signing Dwight and keeping him did us more harm than good? That's exactly what a talented diva can cost you. It's a high reward high risk kind of thing.

    Can you imagine Love's outlet passes on this team? Even after made baskets the guy is just so amazing and accurate with his outlets we can start transition offense so fast. His defense is bad of course but its not like Ryno is getting all-defense honors or anything. His range may not extend as far as Ryno but he does also provide a reliable low post presence if needed in a half court and is an amazing rebounder.

    Love is too soft to ask a trade. He need ask to be traded last year or before.

    I'm not saying it will happen, but it will be discussed. We made Ryno available in the off-season, we will most likely make him available at the trade deadline as well. If Morey didn't at least probe the Cavs' interest on this, he simply wouldn't be doing his job. Which I know won't be the case, as we have the most active GM in the league, like him or not. If the Cavs have a fire sale in 2 weeks, I want in, and so should you.

    ... As things started heading south for the Cavs in January, Wade was an instigator in the infamous team meeting Jan. 22, hours before they flew to San Antonio.

    Yes, Thomas was upset that Kevin Love went home with an illness before a 24-point loss to Oklahoma City had concluded on Jan. 20, and that he was not at practice the following day.

    But, sources said, it was Wade who first made an issue of it at practice Monday, challenging Lue to disclose where Love had been. Numerous players verbally attacked Love, who eventually explained his absence to the team as part of a wide-ranging, heated discussion in which virtually no one was immune from criticism.

    Wade's name began to arise in trade discussions then, sources said. Days later, when Wade's agent Henry Thomas died, Heat president Pat Riley sought out Wade at Thomas' funeral to smooth over rough edges from their falling out when Wade left the Heat as a free agent in the summer of 2016, sources said.

    Altman said Wade was not traded because of the meeting, but because of fit.

    Lue wanted to give more playing time to younger players, like Osman, and Altman wanted to afford Wade the choice to stay or go back to the Heat. Wade took the ticket home.

    Royce White says hi :confused:

    Edit: I guess it's a stretch to call him a pro though.
