Grant Lee: 沒有James的騎士,說實話,who cares?
還記得Cleveland這四年如何被笑的嘛?四年三個狀元,勝場數總和幾乎等於James離開那年的總數,圓球球迷看不到五個,現在竟然都替騎士想起未來了?!
套句灌籃高手最後一集櫻木的話:我只有現在啊!
朝兩個面相來分析,第一點,Wiggins發揮空間:現有陣容,前四得分手應該會是,James, K.Irving, Waiters, Wiggins。新球季,大家對Wiggins的期望數據是什麼?場均10分5板2助攻1鍋1抄截,防守對方最強球員。事實是,他的發揮空間會被嚴重壓縮,他適合的位置是在2-3號,但在騎士隊他大多數時間只能打二號,因為James會打40分鐘左右。換去一支能讓他發揮的球隊,哪裡不好呢?
第二點,Love是1980年至今,場均25分12板次數第二高的人,共兩次,第一?Shaq的四次。Love是證明過的數據機器,懷疑者會說他無法帶領球隊獲勝。沒問題,跟James搭配進季後賽絕對沒問題。場上,Love優秀的外線能力來不僅可以提供Space,他優秀的內線低位,將是James搭配過的大個中,破壞力最強的一個。此外他下場KI跟他的搭配也很有看頭。光是想像James, KI, Love在一隊,進功能力來說,破壞力甚至有可能比LCD還高。
I am absolutely agreed with you!
But the thing is.
Can a offensive A++ defensive B- team win a champion?
With love+Irving+James sure they can provide unlimited firepower everywhere, yes?
But Irving+Love's defence is just terrible, and Lebron. Last season he puts only 50% effort on defensive side (in my opinion).
Anyway, defence will be a big problem for them, remember 2009 playoffs, same problem here.
In another hand, Kyrie and Lerbron is players who needs ball to maximize their ability, And I am sure love won't be satisfy to stay in the corner wait for the ball. Random cuts without ball? Please, how many times did Kevin Love cuts into basket last season?
What Cavs should do is keep Wiggans/Thompson. trade Bennett/Waiters for a young C who can secure the paint. ex) Mason Plumbee/Robin Lopez
With Wiggins, Cavs can only get better.
