LeBron to CLE is horrible news for the C's

[D Dub]

Our offer is far and away better than Cle's

Thompson?  No way he's better than either Sully or Olynyk
Waiters?      Jeff Green a more mature, better 2way player
Bennet?       yea... i'd rather have the LAC 1st
Cavs 1st?     anyone of those BKL picks are more valuable


I still like our chances to add Love, he doesn't strike me as a coat-tail rider like RAllen just looking to help Bron pad his stats.

[Monkhouse]

Cleveland has more than enough ammo to trade for Love and with that not only will the Cavs be elite for the next 4 years at least, the Celtics will have no one to pin their hope to for the next few years. They have to just tank it out the next couple years and hope for a superstar.

Love will go to Cleveland now. all they have to do is offer wiggins and Flip will flip.

But Love will not sign there long term.

Um... yes he will?

You serious or? Playing with LBJ/Kyrie is a contending Big 3 for 5-7 years, why wouldn't he?

He actually does to me... This is a player who hasn't even witnessed the playoffs... Hes been criticized for having empty stats his entire NBA career.. He has a chance to play with one of the best players, and a young superstar PG in the making... Ummm, I definitely think the possibility to contend, and even win a ring is more satisfying than joining a team that has rich tradition but virtually no chance at contention as of now.

yea, that's a fair point.  probably just wishful thinking that NBA players still exist that actually want to COMPETE against Lebron. 

other than Rondo, every good player seems content to waive their white flag and kiss his ring.  weak, imho.

The bad news is that the league's best player manipulates the balance of the league every few years.

Whether he does it in Miami or Cleveland or wherever is largely irrelevant to Boston... the disturbing part is that we have a player who'd rather quit every 3 years and pick his teammates all over again.

In 3 years from now, I can only assume he'll be playing in LA with Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard or some such bull-doodoo

[D.o.s.]

I thought Love was on the record saying he'd resign if LeBron was in Cleveland?

most people will think Wiggins shatter whatever we have to offer

Due to league rules, he probably can't go exactly on record, but I think he's unoffically made it known this is the case.

I don't think Kyrie is a superstar, but I agree.

Found it. It's "sources" from SOURCE CENTRAL, but I haven't read anything contradictory:

For whatever it's worth:

FYI: Again, Thursday afternoon, Cavs source told @FOXSportsOH: "Andrew Wiggins is not being traded."

Good, your move Danny.

Duncan, Parker, and Dirk all disagree.  Durant and Westbrook too (especially Westbrook, who seemed like he wanted to beat Miami all by himself that year).

i guess financially it does make sense to try to build around lebron, wiggins and kyrie.  seems they would have more flexibility going forward.  fill out the roster with vets like ray allen, etc.
