I'm not relying on Rose being healthy ever again. Even if he is healthy, I don't think he'll be the same guy. He certainly didn't look good at all in the few games he played this past year.
Rose to the Knicks in 2015! FIXED! Man that injury looked awful, but believe it or not, it's not as bad as a torn ACL. All the ligaments and tendons are fine. The doctors that have been interviewed about him have said he will very likely make a full recovery because the break was clean and there is no damage to the knee or ankle or the important nerve that runs through the leg. If things go perfectly he could be walking in 6-8 weeks and possibly even be full speed by 6 months. The average time missed for type of injury is 9 months, and in worse cases can be up to 12. The Pacers could see him back late next season, but it's a long hard road to get there and they are undoubtedly out of the playoff picture now.
Sick of all these reports coming from ESPN, just about everything they have said has turned out be fake -Wiggins involved in the trade -Love saying he will sign long term to Cleveland -Bulls and Warriors OFFERING actual deals (As in sending the official trade document signed to the Twolves) Its almost like they have to find any story in order to reignite hype and attention. Ill believe it when I see it, because honestly if this trade happens in August then there will be a blatant loser. If the Cavs give up Wiggins then they were clearly impatient and are making a mistake. (Like I said, hold out till the trade deadline and the Twolves will cave in). If the Twolves DONT get Wiggins then they look bad because why give up Love when they still have till February to get a better deal. (I dont think they can find a better deal but it does not hurt at all to wait considering you know Cleveland will fork over draft picks in the end). If this latest report is true, then I think Lebron James is forcing the Cavaliers into doing this trade because he wants Love in camp in the preseason rather get him in February (which probably would cost them a little but long term it would benefit them greatly. But so be it Lebron, getting Love now rather than in February will only be the difference in the Cavaliers losing to the Spurs in 7 games, rather 5.
It's strange. You'd think Lebron would love the opportunity to mentor a guy like Wiggins. If he really cares about his home team, it could solidify both the team and his legacy for years after his departure.
Because hes to concerned about next season rather the long term plan. He doesnt want to lose again and face criticism.
It's just disgusting what's happen to the league in terms of how much control the players have. The T-Wolves are obviously trying to accumulate young talent and if they don't get Wiggins in the trade it's a damn shame. If I were the Wolves and they can't get Wiggins I'd let Love rots all year in Minnesota and stop giving into the player demands so much. The problem is that the Bulls especially have given the Wolves a very formidable offer with players they could build around, but Love is essentially forcing his way to Cleveland by saying that's the only place he'll resign with. Screw the entire Timberwolves franchise because he's being a baby about wanting to play with LeBron. The worst part about this situation is that he has a whole franchise on hold despite the fact the guy has never been to the playoffs. I understand the west is tough and he is a formidable 20/10 guy, but so was David Lee. I think he gets way too much credit for being a top 10 or 15 player because he's not really a teams number one option.
He's a good player but he's very one dimensional in the sense that he doesn't play defense. The Cavs are going to have massive defensive problems when they get into the playoffs without a rim protector like Birdman or a player like Bosh whose single role was to blow up pick and rolls. Take the Bulls for example. The combination of Noah and Pau and they're great passing skills combined with Gibson and Noah's ability to bang and the Cavs will get abused down low trying to guard unselfish physical players.
Id rather just stick with Tristan Thompson and roll with Wiggins. If the Cavs do have 3 max contract players they will be very limited elsewhere.
Lol that was awful. They ask him all the tough questions they would never ask the big names. Plus Wiggins is socially awkward
He is a rookie to. I dont blame the interviewer because technically its his job to ask the hard questions and he did, but why would ESPN even put both the interviewer and the rookie into such an akward situation. Wiggins is well spoken and if the Cavs do trade him, I hope it lights an absolute fire under him and he becomes the player that many thought he would become about a year ago.
And I do believe the Spurs will repeat barring injury. I dont see how the Thunder have improved, the same Thunder team that was at a high risk of losing to Memphis, honestly should have lost to the Clippers, and did lose to Spurs. (They had a 10-9 record in the postseason, while the Spurs were 16-7) I think the Clippers will end up overtaking the Thunder as the #2 team in the West, last year was only year one of Doc Rivers, they had to deal with the whole sterling drama on top of everything else. I did feel like the Clippers did grow up last season and ultimately the events in the final minute of game 5 prevented them from getting to the WCF. I do believe they will take the next step and make it to the WCF.
What a joke of an interview. They didn't ask him a single thing basketball related, and the nobody on the Cavs has said they are shopping him or looking to trade him. It looked like he was having trouble with his earpiece and didn't expect every single question to be around him being traded. That reporter was a complete dick.
So true, its disgusting that ESPN is allowed to make up stories in order to stir up drama. The only official thing we have ever heard from the Cavaliers was that they did not have Wiggins in the trade. The newest story from ESPN is that on August 24 the trade will become official, so lets see how this ticking time bomb turns out. In terms of basketball, I would rather have Wiggins then Love. Wiggins will be cheaper, younger, has more potential, and offers a lot more defense than Love has ever shown. The offense Irving and Lebron will be able to generate alone is going to be a lot, throwing Love in does not technically make their offense that much better. It just lessens the amount of possesions for Lebron and Irving. Ill take Wiggins, you notice when MJ got Pippen he was able to win the finals because Pippen would go defend the best player on the oppositions team. He harassed Magic Johnson in that first finals, Wiggins would be able to go after Paul George, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonhard or whoever you want him to take on.
I think they really wanted Waiters on the Cavs. 1 - Ivring 2 - Waiters 3 - Lebron 4 - Love 5 - Varejao That team has a lot of firepower but good God the defense is going to be horrible.
Spurs just made Becky Hammon the first female NBA Asst. Coach. She spent most of last year sitting behind their bench after she tore her knee up.
