Boom.
"He'll just restructure with Miami, y'all are stupid to think otherwise!!"**
I feel like he had this playing in the background

he didn't mention wiggins, which tells me they're likely to deal him. Be interesting to see who they grab. Still can't believe they didn't take Parker. Irving, James, and Parker at the 1-3 would've been disgustingly good.
Either way, I want to thank all of the posters who said I was an idiot for saying he'd go back to Cleveland. It was the obvious choice for his legacy.
This has always made the most sense for him.
LeBron and Parker are too similar, I think a Wiggins actually fits better because of his defense. That said, I do think they'll deal him to get someone more established.
Kevin Love. And they will win it all with Lebron, Irving, and Love. They're smart to deal Wiggins...he's going to be good, but not a "star" IMO. Lebron's announcement in SI made me like him more. Cleveland fans will cry when they read that shit. Impressive.Quote:

Totally agree. I may start pulling for the guy after reading thatQuote:

Finally a star realizes the worth of home.
I actually think Parker has more upside defensively. Wiggins is weak up top to me and I think he'll have a touch time rebounding and mixing it up in the middle at the nba level. Parker is great with help side defense which would allow Lebron to play tight press coverage on the perimeter. would be amazing to see those guys flying around the court together.Quote:

Everything I've seen and read is that Parker is atrocious defensively and that Wiggins is elite there. There's a reason people are comparing Parker to Carmelo.Quote:

Not sure I'll start pulling for him yet, but he did gain a little respect from me. Even though I'm smart enough to know that this is a ploy and exactly what he's trying to do by doing it this way. EVERYTHING he does now is carefully planned by not only him, but his 'handlers' I'm sure. Either way this is better than creating a stupid media circus.Quote:

I dont pay much attention to the pundits and talking heads. I've learned they don't know much. I know basketball better than I know most things. And I can see talent in basketball and football better than I can see most things. Parker has all the tools to be a complete player. Wiggins gets pushed around too much for me. He reminds me of a 4 man who thinks they're a two-man... except he really can play the two so he doesn't exert himself under the basket. It pisses me off to see talent wasted like that. Parker blocks a lot of shots and is great in weak side defense. Lebron will be defending their best offensive player most of the time with Kyrie at the 1. That leaves a SF or PF to match up with and Wiggins isn't going to bang down low for 4 quarters. for that reason I just see Parker as being a better fit to run the floor with James and a better fit defensively with that grouping. As a perimeter defender, you're right though, Wiggins is much better.Quote:
