Who plays defense when Anderson has his annual season-ending injury?

[Birdman]

If Cleveland was in the West, I put them bout 4th or 5th best team

Who would you have ahead of them?

[Who]

It's hard to see any team beating Cleveland in the East if they are healthy heading into the playoffs. I think the Chicago Bulls are the only team with enough talent to have a realistic shot at knocking them off.

Haywood is the backup center.  Delledova and Lucas both backing up Irving.

Im not sold on this Cleveland Roster defensively to win a title this  year. With Wiggins they actually had a chance to have two dynamic defenders guarding 2 thru 4's depending on matchups but, now I think they need some defensive roleplayers to fill out the roster. Im thinking year two they are a championship team.

[Who]

I think they will struggle a bit at times during the regular season like Miami did their first year together. I see them as more likely to be a 56-59 win team than a 60-65 win team. Defensive issues. Developing teamwork / chemistry. Some immaturity in young players. That type of stuff.

I'm guessing Kevin Martin wii be on that bench too.

San Antonio, OK City, Portland (This team going to be tough folks), Clippers, maybe Golden State & Dallas

[RyNye]

Love is as much of a ring chaser here (if not more, considering he hasn't done anything in the playoffs) but I get your point.

But can you really blame him? I mean, say what you will about LeBron, but in general I just feel bad for Kevin Love. Minny has done just as bad (if not worse) a job at surrounding him with talent as they did with KG; but at least KG they gave a huge contract (one of the biggest of all time, IIRC). They did the opposite with Kevin, they convinced him to take less money (well, less years, so less guaranteed long-term money) and still did a miserable job of building that team.

In an interview with Sportscenter on Sunday morning Andrew Wiggins stated, "I just want to play for a team that wants me."

[Mr October]

I am looking forward to this being over. There is not much more to discuss until the actual trade details are released.

This looks to be a great trade for Minnesota.

GS and Dallas? No way. Portland is even a stretch. Only see OKC and San An being better regular season teams. Maybe Clippers.
