I said this on the other thread and im going to say it again even if I get ripped on here. I don’t think the starting lineup is going to work unless Waiters goes to the bench. Its pre season and Love already is complaining about lack of touches. There is only 1 ball to go around and not everybody on the starting squad can take 20 shots a game. The problem is while Dion is taking these fade-away 2 point jumpers he is turning Love into a 16 million/fancier version of spencer hawes (just standing on the 3 pt line and getting boards). Kyrie and LBJ are going to be taking as many shots as they like and Im cool with that they are good enuff to win us a championship.
The heat got it right by starting chalmers and battier so the big 3 didn’t step on each others toes. I just don’t see any scenario where there is enuff shots for Love to be effective with Waiters shooting 10-15 times a game. We would have been better off keeping our old squad with wiggins starting and moving waiters to the bench and he can be his own version of jr smith or kobe or whoever he wants to be. We could of re-signed Hawes/ or jack and kept wiggins and Bennett giving us the deepest bench in the league instead of paying love 16 million to shoot 3 pointers. We would have had 3 first rounders next year too to possibly make even a bigger splash.
This entire post reeks of being misinformed and just plain suck.
Yup, let's keep the raw rookie and the underwhelming Bennett and hope they grow quickly enough for championship contention within LeBron's window, instead of getting the league's top PF.
