Something that interests me: In real life, the guy Pesci played was 20 years younger than Pesci - he died at 28 - was in the movie. He was also a 6'2 weightlifter. Everything else was fairly accurate, but it's so different when he is the smallest guy on the screen versus if he was the biggest guy. None of this has anything to do with the NBA. Derrick Rose's knees make me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be heading down the Ralph Sampson/Bill Walton road. Sucks when that happens a talent like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose is going the way of Bird and Bill Walton except without wrapping up a championship and Hall of Fame legacy beforehand. Rose is a lot like Pavel Bure for a non-basketball comparison.

Going Commando Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Penny Hardaway & Larry Johnson & Grant Hill. There have been many a Rose in NBA history. It sucks. Doesn't mean he can't still have a long career as a solid player like Grant Hill did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Minnesota came out like champions in this deal. Good for them. They turned a disgruntled employee into 2 former no.1 picks in he last two years, plus young from philly, and a trade exception. Wonderful deal for them.

Going Commando Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Eh, it should be noted that Bennett might be the worst #1 pick ever. Certainly had the worst rookie season of any #1 pick. He brought very little trade value in return. Young is a nice player, but everything about this trade hinges on how good Wiggins ends up being. If he ends up being a perennial All Star, then this was as good a deal as Minny could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Just when there was some parody, the NBA rights itself again and one conference is already wrapped up. Oh well, 2016 will be here soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, 2016 will be here soon enough. I wouldn't be so sure about Cleveland. I don't think they'll be a juggernaut this year. It takes more than assembling a handful of All Stars to be a good team. Maybe they become a super team with another offseason to gel and build the right roster around their big three. I like the Wizards's chances against them this year.

Rocky21 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I thought the Cavaliers got the best of that trade. Wiggins is an unknown in the NBA. Love is not. Plus if I'm unsure I always look at who is pulling the trigger. Flop Saunders? Yeah, the Cavs made out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkeyBoy Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Ha. Looks like Cleveland is addressing their depth at center...http://www.si.com/nba/2014/08/25/cleveland-cavaliers-zyndrunas-ilgauskas-comeback Report: Zydrunas Ilgauskas to attempt comeback to NBA Former Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas is attempting a comeback to the NBA, ESPN Cleveland reports. Ilgauskas, 39, last played for the Miami Heat in 2011. The 7-foot-3 center wants to join the Cavs this season if he is medically cleared to play. Early in his career, foot problems limited Ilgauskas and caused him to miss the entire 1999-2000 season. ESPN Cleveland reports Ilgauskas wants to play 10-15 minutes per game if he is healthy. I mean, I like the fact that he doesn't just want to be a Juwan Howard but...10-15 Minutes a game? Good luck Big Z.

And Bennett has been a huge bust to this point. Young was a great addition though. Solid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I thought the Cavaliers got the best of that trade. Wiggins is an unknown in the NBA. Love is not. Plus if I'm unsure I always look at who is pulling the trigger. Flop Saunders? Yeah, the Cavs made out better. They definitely won the trade. Even if Wiggins is better than Love eventually, that's eventually, not now. LeBron probably has another three or four peak seasons before he goes from being in the top tier of the league with KD to a tier below that. Giving him Kevin Love now gives you the best window to win a championship rather than an Andrew Wiggins and diminished LeBron later. Plus Wiggins plays the same position as LeBron, and neither are shooters. It was never going to be optimal playing them on the floor together. In theory, LeBron and Love are a natural forward tandem that should be very easy to build an elite offense around. Only problem is their lousy C situation is going to mitigate the benefit of having the best true SF and PF tandem in the league. I bet anything LeBron ends up getting most of his minutes at PF and Love gets his at C this season. But they might be able to fix this in a future offseason by getting a true center. A good one. One that's defensive minded and can start would be the ideal. If they had an Omer Asik, I think anyone could play guard for that team and they'd still be outstanding.

DM72 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 As much as the Sixers coveted Wiggins, I have no idea how they get into a 3-way trade that includes Wiggins, without getting Wiggins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think Minnesota won the trade. They had already lost Love, and they genuinely risked getting nothing for him. Somehow, they translated that weak hand into Wiggins who was only the No. 1 pick this year, plus a very good player in Young, plus the possibility that they might be able to make something of Bennett. They didn't have to take on a single player or bad contract that they wouldn't want to keep. That is a great haul under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Min got a bunch if great young assets for a guy who was guaranteed to leave. Whether that was their own fault or not, that's a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have to take on a single player or bad contract that they wouldn't want to keep. That is a great haul under the circumstances. I think the Cavs made out fairly well but I agree with you. Look at the Melo, CP3, and Howard trades and I think that the TWolves made out much better on paper than any of those teams that were forced to trade away a star player. This assumes, of course, that Wiggins proves to be an allstar level player (eventually, not as a rookie). If he does the TWolves made out spectacularly and might even have gotten more in return than they surrendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 They absolutely got more than they surrendered, because Love was not going to stay. All they surrendered was one more season of his services. You rarely get much of anything in those situations, certainly not anything with the potential of Wiggins. Even if Wiggins turns out to be just another guy who is ok, you got more than you surrendered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So aside from the fact that Minnesota stupidly gave Love a short contract that made him an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year and completely screwed up their roster for the last half decade to the point that they drove the second best player in franchise history to the breaking point, they totally played this perfectly. Good for them. Well done. In four years, they might be a seventh seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
