As a non-Cleveland fan...

WaiverWire · 06-05-2015, 06:55 PM

It's too bad that Kyrie got injured (1) because it's always unfortunate when someone gets hurt and (2) game 1 of the Finals was a really great game and I was looking forward to more. Even with him not being at 100 percent, Kyrie really made some great plays and tough shots. And he is really a wizard with some of the layups he is able to make.

Also...
--It's never good when guys have knee problems -- in some ways the tendinitis is more of a long term concern than the kneecap fracture.
--While I think LeBron is devoted to Cleveland, I'm not sure what other pieces Cleveland needs to get back to the Finals. Injuries bite every team and next year it could be that Kyrie and Love are healthy but a LeBron gets hurt. Looking to Miami this year, Bosh ended up being out for the season because of his medical issue. Health isn't at all predictable.
--If Kevin Durant goes to Washington Wizards in a year, would that team be favored over the current Cleveland squad? Who knows.

And who is playing when Kyrie sits? That white dude even had trouble of bringing the ball to half court line with just Curry's full court press.

It's finals, you play your studs or you go home empty handed.
Kyrie would do it again.

It this thread officially for non Cleveland fans only?

Today on Espn radio, talks about clippers trading CP3 for Kyrie.

Brons closest nba friends are CP3 and Melo, they hang out, attend each other's weddings, etc. so it's very possible if Bron wanted it done.

Does Blatt return since he was signed for 3 years? Or will he get replaced?

I wouldn't trade young kyrie for cp3, but I'm not Lebron with a win now mentality.

It's gonna be an interesting off season for the Cavs,
What if K love walks, wiggins lost for nothing?
Damn I love the NBA.

This will be a very interesting off season for the Cavs.

All good questions. All indications are that K Love will stay in Cleveland, but what if Houston, Boston, or LA are willing to throw the bank at him? Does he change his mind? If so, what's Cleveland's backup plan?

Would Cleveland have won the Finals if they hadn't traded Wiggins? Would it have reduced the load and minutes on Kyrie?

Coming home, Bron was in the win now mentality.

Seemed logical to take vet K love over a rookie at the time.

Will only regret it if, K love leaves, or as wiggins progresses.

I think most Nba fans are laughing at the decision now that K love doesn't really fit in, he's hurt, and Tristian is a better fit as a starter.

Only time will tell, the better wiggins gets, the dumber this trade becomes.
