Love is the boss, where can the Cavaliers rank in the East next season?

We all know that this offseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers are without LeBron James, and now the offensive initiation points are mainly LeBlass on the inside and Hill on the outside. There are too few scoring points, the players are older, and then the team has no system yet, I don't know if Coach Lu can bring surprises.

For Kevin Love, we all know that Kevin Love is a giant figure who was exchanged by the Cavaliers in 2014 with two champions (Ben Nate and Wiggins) to assist James, which shows his strong personal strength, he is an offensive all-rounder, the attack range radiates from under the basket to outside the three-point line, and he can easily score more than 20+ during the Timberwolves period, and his excellent rebounding sense makes him a 10+ rebounder, in short, a 20+10 All-Star power forward. In the four years since he came to the Cavaliers, due to the sharing of the ball, Lefu has become the team's third choice for offense, and can still contribute 17+10 data, although his defense is lagging behind, but this is largely due to the fact that Tyronn Lue arranged Lefu in the No. 5 position, which is not good at it, and Lefu after losing weight obviously consumed too much in the confrontation, which affected the play on the offensive end. Lefou, who has unlimited rights next season, can definitely return to the 20+10 club.

At the same time, Kevin Love is a practical 3D player who can grab and shoot! This is proven in the Timberwolves. But when it comes to leadership, being honest is really lacking.

Including during the Cavaliers period, when James was not on the court, Love led the team alone with a win rate only. And Lefou's personality is weak, like JR, TT and the like are not convincing at all.

Kevin Love will be the core of the team next season, and coach Tyronn Lue will definitely increase his playing time and possession, and his stats must be a double-double. However, no matter how strong Lefu is, it can't make up for the loss of James's departure, and a sharp decline in strength is inevitable. Although Love is a superstar player, he has not fulfilled his leadership responsibilities when he was the leader of the team.

Therefore, it is still difficult for Love to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to the playoffs alone after James and Irving leave!

In the major ** about the "biggest decline in the new season" **, the Cavaliers are ranked first without any suspense, which is also reasonable, this is originally a team that is deeply dependent on James, and now that the league has left, they do have reason to be looked down upon, so the decline of the Cavaliers in the new season is predictable, but now the question is whether they can keep a playoff spot, I personally think that it is not easy for the Cavaliers to enter the playoffs, but it is not impossible.

Although James left this summer, the Cavaliers were not without action, they first selected the promising point guard Sexton in the draft, and then reached an early contract extension with Love with a 4-year contract of 100 million dollars, which is particularly surprising, the most likely team of the Big Three to be traded ended up in the end, becoming the team's star of the team, which makes people feel that anything can happen in the NBA.

The extension sends an important signal that the Cavaliers will not immediately enter a situation of rebuilding and will still try to win, and after James left, it is at least a shot in the arm for the team to show the players the team's determination, which is also a very critical operation.

Looking at the lineup, the Cavaliers are not vulnerable in the East. Love will improve his stats significantly after becoming the first choice, and the likes of JR, Korver, and Thompson around him, although they don't seem to be enough to look at when facing the Warriors, are at least experienced veterans, and the performance of young players such as Sexton, Osman, Clarkson, and Nance is also worth looking forward to.

Personally, I think the Cavaliers could catch the last train of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and in the worst-case scenario, they could also keep the top 10 in the East.

We all know that the biggest change for the Cavaliers in the offseason is that the heart of their team, the heart of the Cleveland City, LeBron James, left the team and chose to make the next stop for the Los Angeles Lakers. This move undoubtedly broke the hearts of Cavaliers fans, but this time they chose to understand and stop complaining, cursing and insulting. The Cavaliers' strongest response to James' departure was to keep Love in Cleveland for the next few years.

In July, Cavaliers management signed Kevin Love to a four-year, $100 million contract extension, ensuring that the All-Star-caliber power forward will spend almost all of his future career with the Cavaliers. This also means that Lefu will become the new boss of the Cavaliers in the new season, the last time Lefu was the leader was in the 13-14 season of the Timberwolves, that season Lefu was able to average points and rebounds per game, which can be said to be one of the best interior in the league.

Now, four years later, although Lefu is over 30 years old, there is still a lot of energy in his body. After regaining possession of the ball this time, I believe that Lefou's form will pick up again. In addition, the Cavaliers are not alone, as their No. 8 pick Sexton this year can also help the team with some wins.

During Summer League, Sexton averaged points per game, most of which came from his breakouts and kills.

His desire to win was strong even before he entered the league, and it is believed that Sexton will improve more than many people thought in the coming year. Love and Sexton will be the Cavaliers' new interior and exterior duo, and if the Cavaliers can play chemistry in the new season, the goal of entering the playoffs may not be so far away.

After Kelly Irving and LeBron James left Cleveland, Kevin Love became the star of the Cavaliers, and according to Cavaliers management and head coach Tyronn Lue, one of the main reasons for keeping Love was that the team didn't want to mess around and still wanted to make the playoffs. So where can the Cavaliers sit in the East next season? Let's look at the Cavaliers' roster configuration and the stratification of Eastern Conference teams.

The first is the Cavaliers' roster configuration, except for Kevin Love, the team has no other All-Star players, and the team is dominated by young players, especially in the playoffs, the more experienced are J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson, and these two did not perform very well last season. Veterans George Hill and Kyle Korver may bring some experience to the team, while young players like Kling Sexton, Jordan Clarkson, Nance Jr., Ante Zhižić and Chedy Osman will need to grow and learn.

Overall, the depth of the Cavaliers' roster is very average, especially in terms of scoring ability, lacking reliable scorers and stable three-point players, but if Tristan Thompson can play his own characteristics and Sexton can adapt to the NBA as soon as possible and become a reliable helper for Love, then the Cavaliers' roster still has hope of impacting the playoffs.

Looking at the stratification of the East, the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors belong to the same level, and the Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Milwaukee Bucks basically belong to the same level, so the Cavaliers need to compete with teams like the Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons for the remaining spots, and there is a high probability that they will be ranked 7-9.

There is one of the Big Three left, and there are a bunch of garbage contracts, you say how many are they ranked.

If you can make the playoffs, you will be considered a success.

You shouldn't leave, because Lefu has entered the end of your career, it's the same wherever you go, the competitiveness is declining, and you can't play value anywhere.

Love has now become a fringe figure for the Cavaliers, who don't play around him, wasting his career on the Cavaliers, and when it's time for him to leave, go to a team that can play.

In fact, the current Lefu ability is still there, mainly because of the attitude, and there is no competitive fighting spirit on the field, so there will be such a situation, which requires team management to communicate.

This season, the most disappointing team may be the Cavaliers, who currently have a 19-46 record, which is the bottom of the East! The Cavaliers' lineup and configuration are not the worst in the East, not to mention making the playoffs, they definitely shouldn't be the worst team! The Cavaliers are in Cleveland, if it weren't for James, no star would want to come, in the summer of 2014, James announced his return to the Cavaliers, and then the Cavaliers got Love through a trade, which can be said to be the most classic transaction in the history of the Cavaliers!

On August 24, 2014, the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers, and the 76ers officially completed a three-way trade, with the Cavaliers sending Wiggins and Bennett, as well as a 2015 protected draft pick, from the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves also got Thaddeus Young in this three-way trade.

What was the level of Lefu at that time? In the 13-14 season, Love averaged points, rebounds and assists per game with the Timberwolves, playing the pinnacle of his career! He was also named to the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup.

However, Love never led the Timberwolves to the playoffs. This deal was also completed suddenly, the Cavaliers were very secretive at the time, James had just announced his return to the Cavaliers, and this big deal was exposed, and Cavaliers general manager David Griffin should have agreed with James and Love in advance!

The chips given by the Cavaliers were also convincing, directly giving the 2015 champion Wiggins and the 2014 champion Bennett to the Timberwolves, which is also rare in the history of the NBA, and all the selected champions were traded. Bennett played 52 games in his rookie season with the Cavaliers, averaging only minutes of playing time per game and scoring 3 rebounds.

The Timberwolves are very optimistic about Wiggins, he did well in college, averaged rebounds per game, set a scoring record for a first-year player at the University of Kansas, and was voted the best rookie in the nation by the Associated Press. During the tryout, Wiggins reached a vertical jump height of meters, which surpassed Jordan and Maddie at their peak.

Wiggins' later performance with the Timberwolves also didn't meet expectations, and Love's performance with the Cavaliers didn't meet fans' expectations, and at that time Love was hailed as a strengthened version of Bosh, but then we also saw that, one thing is for sure, Love's role is something that the data can't reflect! He was able to open up space for James, as well as a long quarterback-style pass, as evidenced by his four years in the Finals.

Now Love is no longer that All-Star-caliber player, and the contract is too big, and it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to trade him!

The Cavaliers acquired Love from the Timberwolves through a deal with the Timberwolves and the 76ers, and now Love has been playing for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers and the Timberwolves and 76ers made a three-way trade and then acquired Love.

The Cavaliers sent Wiggins and Bennett at the time, plus a first-round pick to get Love.

James, Irving, and Lefou's former Cavaliers triumvirate brought the first NBA championship trophy to Cleveland, and broke the 50-year championship drought, it can be said that they made history, but after Irving left the team and the Big Three disintegrated, the relationship between them has changed, Owen has mocked James in public many times, and has repeatedly taken down Lao Zhan, on the other hand, Lefou, who is also the former Big Three, still maintains a close relationship with Lao Zhan, so why can Lefu be good friends with James, And Owen doesn't want to see Lao Zhan?

First of all, this has a lot to do with Irving's own problems, and lies in the reason of Lao Zhan's side, you must know that those who have been teammates with James basically don't hate him, and Irving's dislike of Lao Zhan is more due to his jealousy, in his heart, he has always felt that Lao Zhan robbed the FMVP of the Cavaliers championship that year, he was dissatisfied with being pressed by James, but did he ever think that James made him better, before James arrived, he took the Cavaliers to earn the top prize every year, and he did not enter the playoffs once, If there is no James, then the current Irving will only be worse, it can only be said that he has a Kobe-like arrogance, but I never thought that he did not have that strength.

Look at the past few years after leaving Lao Zhan, Irving is not in the discussion of superstars at all, he once had a talk with Curry, and now he can't even enter the All-Star in recent years, and his flat remarks also made James injured, he previously said that he apologized to Lao Zhan, and later said that he teamed up with Durant, I finally found a player who can shoot key shots like me, but judging from the official data, Durant's key is completely inferior to Lao Zhan, and this remark was said in the finals of Lao Zhan, It's a pity that Owen didn't affect James's play, and in the end, Lao Zhan won the FMVP again, which also made Owen sour again, and directly took Lao Zhan.

I have to say that Owen's series of behaviors really hurt James, he is simply an immature child, he didn't put his position right, on the other hand, Lefou, he clearly recognized his position when he came to play next to James, and he was also very grateful to James for helping him grow up and defending him in front of **, which is why he was able to make friends with Lao Zhan, and Owen didn't have Lefou's grateful heart, only himself, Lao Zhan helped him become a better player, but he bit Lao Zhan back, It's hard to let go of anyone, and from the Green Army and the Nets, we know from the effect of him leading the team that Irving has really become a leader, and he lacks the pattern of Lao Zhan.
