    who has the offense to take advantage of the Cavs defense...... Bulls in the east, the Wiz would be fun but not win, and then Spurs, OKC, Clips in the west......

    The Clips could light up the Cavs- I could see them being a mismatch nightmare since Cleveland's two weakest defenders would be covering their two best offensive players (unless Lebron plays Blake Griffin and Love covers Deandre Jordan).

    Lebron can neutralize Durant, although that still leaves Westbrook unchecked. The Bulls can pound it inside, I suppose. And the Spurs will no doubt figure out a way to exploit all of Cleveland's defensive problems.

    The Cavs need to replace Tristan and Waiters with a pair of defensive players. You can get away with playing Love and Irving together if you bring in a 3&D player and a rim protector. Especially when you have Lebron.

    He was only a finals MVP, don't think he's a hall of famer or an all-star?

    It's not about where we started from, it's where the journey has taken us.

    Is it bitterness or is what he has felt all along? The Wolves were unwilling to commit to Love long ago. Maybe there is some bitterness too but I also think it is how they have viewed him as a franchise for a while now.

    The problem is they viewed Rubio as their franchise player instead of Love. Glen Taylor remains an idiot.

    You better believe if they could turn back the clock, T-Wolves would have given Love that extra year now that Rubio is a proven fraud.

    Really unprofessional of Glen Taylor. What can he possibly gain from being a DB in public about a former player, for whom he reaped untold riches? Wow. At least Love's response was solid. "Focus on the great players you have on your team now," basically.

    Things were crappy in Minny before and will remain that way you mean.

    I think you're correct, but the point of including him as another notable player is worthwhile.

    Can you imagine a Cornbread Maxwell on the current Rox? That's almost exactly what we need, TBH.
