    He was always going to opt out any ways.

    Trading Wiggins made no sense to me when it happened and it certainly is looking a lot worse now.

    Non story, all for clickbait. We knew he was always going to opt-out because he gets a raise. I expect a 1 + 1 then max next year with the salary going up. He'll be a Cavs.

    Except that he really, really is. 1 way player, defense non-existent.

    Even a one way player, has a super star level impact.

    No overrated in the slightest.

    I thought he was a little overrated last season, I don't think he's a top 10 player, top 15-20 though for sure.

    If he's smart, he'll sign a one year contract and wait until the new cap is in effect. I hope he stays in Cleveland. He definitely does not make that team much better. A healthy Irving though.. and add some quality bench players into the rotation and you'll have a better shot at lifting that trophy next year.

    He's up for a healthy season and that's going to be a difference maker.

    Love has never done anything out of Minny and I guess he did not lead Minny to any playoff series....

    Never made the playoffs by himself

    They why couldnt he bring a semidecent team like the Wolves to the playoffs? Pau Gasol, KG, Dwight, Lebron, Harden and now even Anthony Davis were able to do it with a far worse cast.

    Couple in the injury concerns and the fact that he cant seem to produce unless he's the play is built for him and I fail to see why he's worth 100M.
