Besides, for all Chicago's offseason efforts, a healthy Derrick Rose is the real headline addition. They might be perennial free agent bridesmaids, but it's better to focus on what the Bulls already have than what they didn't get.

This isn't an exceptionally deep team, and it could be undone if Waiters can't relegate himself to a supporting role or if Love can't re-adapt to his former status as a board crasher and complementary offensive option. The acquisition of Love pushes Irving down to third in the pecking order and creates the best big three in the NBA, one that projects to have an absurdly league-best 118 ORtg. So once Kevin Love decided he would not remain in Minnesota for the long haul, the Cavaliers were in perfect position to cash in on Wiggins and Bennett.
1 picks - turned out to be sweet trade fodder.Īs we saw in Miami, where James goes, ring-chasers will follow.

The Cavaliers didn't just make a splash this summer it was more like a meteor crashing into Lake Erie.
