LeBron/Irving/Love would not win a title.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Agree or disagree? I personally do not believe for one second that the cavs with Love are title favorites but I'd like to hear your opinions. No speculation about trades, just opinions on whether or not they'd be crowned next year.

Depends on the coach and the defense.

Lebron sure as hell aint winning shit with Wiggins and Bennet. So you gotta go with the most likely choice.

[305Baller]

Thats why the games are played. But whos the clutch player here? Irving has not impressed me as a closer.

[Spaulding]

Hard to say. We have yet to see how two of those players perform in playoff situations.

[Mr.Kite]

stacked team.

Lebron again with his 3 allstars

Where are the defenders?

Andy gets injured half way through a season, which means most of the defense will come from Tristan and lebron. They would need to add some specialists.

:biggums:

Youre saying LeBron, right? Ok ok. Fine. But he needs some clutch shooters for the times he passes up that last shot.

[FireMcFailPlease]

LeBrons so damned good..anything can happen.

Spurs are another year older and were on a mission last year, but will miss Patty Mills most of the season.

Id give them the best chance in the east to win it. I think SA/OKC will do damage in the west.

Cleveland 40%
San Antonio 45%
Oklahoma City 15%



That 40% for cleveland goes down into the 10% range if they keep Wiggins.

Yea he's only top 3 clutch player in the league. Super unimpressive.



All I'm saying is if there's no way we win a title in the next few years with love, why not keep out young guys and see if we can win 3 years from now when they're all developed?

This.

[lilteapot]

if it's just them 3 with a bunch of losers around them (which is the case) then you're right.

The typical bran fan excuse before the season starts.

He's a top 3? I must have missed that from the games Ive seen. Why was his team a loser? He seems like a chucker. I will be watching.

Bronll get you there in this east. But somebody else has to do something in ecf and finals. If they don't make the finals, that's a failure. Hugely. Bron will be doing some epic final streaking though.

in their first year together? maybe not, but that team will definitely win chips eventually. too much talent to not win.

They would win at least one in next 3 years.

[Collie]

Maybe. A big part of the big 3's success was their defense and Bosh evolving into a very good man defender. Wade was also still a superstar during their first championship, which Kyrie is nowhere near at. Depends on how Love integrates. If he becomes Bosh + worse defense and better rebounding, they probably don't. Not with San Antonio still around.

It's generally tough to be clutch when you're down 20 with 5 minutes left. He is a bit of a chucker though but I'm hoping that's a result of none of the games he played in have mattered so why bother?

The heat worked because they had great D also and this squad will be in the lower half of the league defensively without wiggins and with love.

[stalkerforlife]

How about...Lebron, Kyrie, Love, Miller, Allen, Andy V, etc, etc, etc...
