    Guy shrivels up in a bad matchup, of course he is going to ball against the no D Rockets

    Plus if his shot isn't falling that night he's worthless

    If he was on the Cavs, he wouldn't have to lead.

    If he was on the Cavs, they would not have had Love, Shumpert, JR, Frye or Jefferson. Do you really think Wiggins and Bennett (who just got cut out of the league) was going to win titles in Cleveland??? Heck no. Wiggins cannot spread the floor like Love, can't rebound like Love and can't pass like Love. I was a pro Wiggins supporter but Lebron and the front office proved everyone wrong with winning that title.

    I also thought Wiggins was going to help the Cavs win a title but the Cavs won it without him. Smart move by the Cavs organization.

    Guess I have to spell it out for you

    He's not a rebounder, assister, or defender. Tonight he had 4 rebounds and 2 assists (which is about his avg. per game playing 37 min/game) in 38 minutes on the court. When your team hangs 119 and Lavine is out that's simply retarded. As a fantasy player believe me when i tell you, when his shot is off, which isn't that rare, he actually becomes a liability to his team because instead of transitioning to a secondary offensive player he just keeps jacking up shots.

    Big supposition. Bennett has nothing to do with anything, he'd have been demoted. They wouldn't have Love. But they might have some or all of the others and other guys. Impossible to say for sure, but I think they'd have still won the title and been better positioned to win more in the future. But they won, so I guess whatever.

    Cavs have made a shrewd move in grabbing Korver. He hasn't been himself this season and I understand why Atlanta cut him loose but come playoff time when everyone has to stop Kyrie and Lebron, dude could make it rain off the bench. Regardless the Cavs are still the team to beat. I've never heard of Wiggins....I like Karl Anthony Towns.

    And if they win another 1 or 2, it's a complete no brainer and end of discussion.

    Bennett's contract was worth more than Wiggins and was needed plus a 1st round pick in order to get Love. Now, I think the Cav's could have held out and waited for Love to become a free agent and would have had Wiggins and Love. For whatever reason, Lebron did not want Wiggins, so it's all a moot point. In his return letter, he didn't even mention Wiggins. Maybe his alpha dog persona didn't want to deal with Wiggins or maybe he didn't feel like waiting for Wiggins to grow up. Bottom line, Love has been a huge reason why the Cav's had the best record in the East last year (and this year) and the big playoff run including game 7 win in GS. Wiggins is not at Love's level yet. Will he ever get there? Who knows but we all know the Cav's won the title so the Wiggins ship has sailed.

    I so badly hope this team gets good before it gets broken up.

    So much young talent on one roster.

    Look destined for another good pick this year.
