2014 NBA Offseason/Free Agency Thread

no way he drops that much. if anything he may be more of a scoring threat with lebron. id think 22/12.

Thing with Love is he would have a lot less offensive put backs playing with LeBron.

 

[elcheato]

Which would be offset in his scoring by facing less double teams and getting better looks

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Also gotta factor Kyrie into it though. He's getting his points too

 

[elcheato]

Yes, but I imagine Love would be the 2nd option. Bosh was able to put up 17 as the 3rd wheel behind Wade. Love is better than Bosh offensively and as I speculated, will probably be the 2nd option

 

[buzzy]

Love put up his numbers with almost all of the defenesive focus put onto him. Put LeBron and Kyrie next to him and see what happens.

 

[elcheato]

It's a bit absurd though if the Cavs are giving up Wiggins, taking back bad contracts and sending draft picks. That's way too much. Something has to be wrong in these reports.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think Kyrie is the big factor here. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective and it will be in his hands a lot less.

 

[elcheato]

He'll be fine, he's never played with a playmaker like LeBron, or even Love

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Love rarely faced doubles last season. Teams put one defender on him and kept that defender on a island, really didn't even send help his way.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Cleveland for example. Two games, 17 pts and 33 pts. Thompson defended him on a island, he didn't see a double in either game.

Nick Johnson was a steal

While teams keep picking Euros who wont play, Morey stays picking sleepers

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Morey could've picked anybody there and you'd think they were a sleeper

 

[Mexi]

Nick Johnson is good though

I actually know who he is lol
Was shocked when I saw him

 

[elcheato]

yes

He's undersized

pause

 

[Mexi]

And

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He isn't good enough to make up for it

 

[Mexi]

He will suffice

Exactly..Kyrie & LeBron will have the basketball in their hands majority of the time. I see Love as a really good 3rd option on that team.
