Cavaliers, Timberwolves have 'handshake agreement' for a Kevin Love trade

You don't know how Thibs will use the players on the Bulls either.

What about their team chemistry? We don't know whether those guys can play together, or what roles they'll have. I mean, if you're Taj, I'd be a little upset that I probably won't start this year after clearly being better than Boozer the last few seasons. Bulls still have a lot of unproven pieces on that team.

The Bulls have a core that has played together for the past 3 years. They are not adding as many pieces like the Cavs are to be successful. We know that the Bulls have been CONSISTENTLY great defensively. Taj is not concerned about starting, he wants to win.

Irving had some talent around him last year and the Cavs could have had a better season. Defense is/was the Wade was a stronger leader when he came into the league than the Irving is.

Irving had WHAT kind of talent around him last season? Since we're comparing him to DWade it definitely was not nearly the talent DWade had his 3rd season.

Butler, Noah, Taj, Kirk and Rose. Rose might not have played due to injury but it would be foolish to not put him in the core and see how Irving struggled with him last week, I'd say he's earned the right to remain there.

He had talent but terrible coaching. Waiters is a good 2 guard, Thompson was putting up close to a double double every night, Varejao was okay and Deng being a former All Star was decent. He had good enough talent to make the playoffs especially after seeing how the Bobcats made it with their roster.

Wasn't Kirk part of the core 10 years ago that didn't win anything?

You talk about Rose. He has missed 200 games. Gasol was on the Lakers. And Dunleavy was just on the squad last year. Those are starters, bruh. 3/5 of your lineup hasn't been together for three years. Dude, stop it.

Bobcats had a better roster. Al Jefferson is better than anyone else on the Cavs roster last year. And almost every team (including Philly and Orlando) has guys who get a bunch of double doubles. Doesn't make that player good enough as an option for a playoff team.

That's the only player you can name besides him and Walker. Who else on this team is considered good? Also consider what I said previously about the coaching making a difference on a team.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize that starters play every minute of every game. In that case, we should ignore the bench players for every team.

They haven't even played a game yet.

The Bench Mob was the best second unit in the NBA in 2011 and 2012.

Well going by your logic, you can't say the Cavs are the best team in the East since they haven't palyed a game yet either.

I'm done with it after that last statement lol. He doesn't know basketball but still tries to talk about it. Sad thing is that this dude claims to be a Bulls fan!
