Feel bad for Blatt. He doesn't deserve this.

Right, when he signed on he thought he'd be helping a young team find their way. Instead he's thrown into championship talks as a rookie coach. We all know that Lebron is defacto GM there and he has way more leverage there than he did in Miami. Pat Riley is many things,but a pushover isn't one of those and he ran the organization.

But Love does right?  ;)

Blatt is a great coach with a track record that, one would think, would allow him some leeway in the plays he wants to run and the assistants he wants to hire.

Kevin Love was a good player putting up great numbers on a bad team.

Not surprising one of the most poorly run organizations in sports is having problems. They're identity the past 15 years has revolved around one person.

Coaches with authority don't get pushed by one of their players like that, and it demeans them in front of the team.

Kudos to Flip Saunders for not giving into pressure and just dumping Love for the first offer he got.  He held out and looks like he let the Cavs write another chapter in the book of how stupid they are, what a disaster that trade could end up being for Cleveland.

3 Number 1 overall picks, and they manage to turn it into poo.

Couldn't believe Flip got Wiggins.  He did good. 

Love can't defend his position.

Cavs should have traded Irving for Rondo

After seeing how he's playing in Dallas vs. Boston, he might've actually been really good there. Though there still is the issue of him and Lebron coexisting with the ball.

Lebron would make a good GM/player/coach.

Dude...is a tad over baring, he looks to be in panic made. He made the grand return to his beloved Cleveland, he can't leave them after one year...no way.

As to Rondo going to Cleveland, I'm not sure he would have the ball in his hands enough to make an impact.

There is no better soap opera in the NBA than the Cleveland Cavs. I love it.

If Lebron ever left Cleveland, after letting Wiggins go to Minnesota, the way he's playing! Lebron would need a bodyguard for the remainder of his NBA career.

If Love bails due to poor chemistry, wow. That Love trade will go down as a truly horrifically bad trade.

I was very uncomfortable giving up Wiggins, someone you are guaranteed 5 years from if you want him, for someone who could bail in a year. I feared that the team would perform poorly with Love and it would become uncomfortable for him. I think that the games lost to injury for the Cavs and the fact that they should still make the playoffs means that the season could still turn out ok. I just didn't think that Irving and Love were ready yet to play a complete game needed to win and that underperforming would not be received well post-Love trade. Underperforming with Wiggins would have been received by fans with more patience.

I still think they will pick it up not that Lebron is back.

There's also the issue of whether they even make it to the floor.

I suspect both will be hospitalized hours after the proposed trade with their history.

Apparently 19-20 is the best 39 game start for Love/Irving have had in the NBA.  Silver lining of some sort.

Watching the Cavs makes me feel happy to be a Celtics fan. Why? Because the Celtics suck, but we knew they were going to, and the upshot is the Celtics have a great future ahead of them.

The Cavs on the other hand suck, but nobody knew they were going to, and the kicker is they don't have much of a future going for them if this really does blow up in their face (And we got their pick next year!).

What's so funny is that there was no evidence whatsoever that Love and Irving were your best players if you wanted to win. None. Atleast when Lebron got together with Wade and Bosh, Wade was a former finals MVP. Miami later learned Bosh wasn't what they thought he was (ala what we're seeing now with Love and Irving) but atleast he adjusted well as the third banana.

Even though this isn't Dwight&Nash to the Lakers bad, the Cavs should be in panic mode because they are running out of options quickly.

As for Minnesota's future, imagine if they get Okafor.  :o

If I were a T-Wolves fan, I'd be so excited for what the future holds. Sure they suck but they can afford to because the west is downright impossible to thrive in when you've got 12 teams who could make the playoffs in the east. Wiggins will be the leader along with Shabazz, Dieng, Lavine, Rubio, and heck, I'll include the immortal Anthony Bennett.

Flip got a great deal out of Love. The T-Wolves will be legit in 2-3 years.
