    Who isn't better than Love on defense... Lol. But the narrative on Wiggins was he'd be a good defender out the gate _ it's his offense that was in question.

    I always thought of Love as just an empty stat guy. He's like a Chinese buffet. Always hungry a couple of hours later.

    Classic case of the inmate running the asylum. And if LeBron doesn't turn this around _ fingers will eventually start pointing in his direction.

    Wiggins is on track with other superstar timelines for development. This is looking very promising.

    Talk about a doomsday scenario.

    I wonder how good the Cavs would have been if they never get Lebron again. They run on the core of Irving, Waiters, Wiggins, Bennet and Blatt who is considered a good XOs coach gets to do his thing without the huge presence of Lebron. Gets to mold the young players into his scheme without all the distractions.

    They would have been a terrible team without Lebron. Kyrie, Waiter, Bennet are just losers. Wiggins isn't a Lebron level prospect so it will be a few years before he is good enough.

    And his to start the season had the stats guys at fivethirtyeight suggesting he was going to become the next James Posey.

    Sure, when he's given the reign to do whatever the f he wants.

    Who knows how he would have turned out being on a team with BronBron and Irving? Might have been Darko 3.0

    LOL Cleveland's organization is reallyyyy going to regret this. LeBron is 30, and Love might leave the team. There's no future for this team.

    Wiggins + LeBron + Kyrie would've been much better than LeBron + Kyrie + Love.

    They deserve it. They are a stupid organisation who were lucky they got lebron twice. Except for lebron they have done nothing right. How do you get that many number one picks and not get a good team. ..

    Wow Wiggins looks legit, where are the haters now? Love watching this guy play. He's still got to work on his handles further to become a beast in this league, nobody's going to be able stop him. Toronto has to do everything possible to try to get him.

    Okay, probably a bad choice of words, he had doubters. If you go into the NBA draft thread, there were plenty of people thinking he won't amount to much in this league. I enjoy watching him play, on the Raptors the last guy I loved watching was Vince Carter back in the day. This guy looks like he's going to better than him and he;'s Canadian!!!

    J.R. repped, thanks for sharing.
