A lot of people are talking about his age and "win now"... none of them are named Lebron James. Whether we believe him or not, the only thing he's said is "it's going to take time."

And I think it's foolish to think adding Love helps "win now" unless he agrees to an extension and "now" realistically is the year after next... which may not be far off from when Wiggins (learning under Lebron) is ready to win now at a cheaper price.

Society screams "win now" but the reality few teams thrown together with that mentality actually do it.

I was listening to ESPN radio while working and they were saying someone is saying that LeBron knew about Wiggins for Love prior to saying he was going back to Cleveland?

Can anyone here confirm this story or who it was that's saying this?

I didn't catch a name.

Why would Cleveland make that move without knowing LeBron was coming back? Highly doubt there's any truth to that.

Maybe I didn't post it properly and you're misunderstanding me.

As in Cleveland & LeBron were talking before his announcing he was going back to Cleveland.

Then Cleveland had told LeBron that they'd trade Wiggins for Love or something along those lines.

I really wasn't listening intently because I'm busy in my office and I didn't catch every word so I'm paraphrasing.

Ahhh gotcha. Yeah, you didn't make that part clear. The way it is just says prior to him saying he was going back.

Well LeBron,Bosh,Wade was planned a year in advance so anything is possible.

Yea they knew about it, remember Lebron after a game said he was changing his number to 6, thats only because 23 is retired in Miami. After Miami got bounced in the playoffs that year Wade said at the press conference this will be the last time that happens. Also Stephen A Smith was saying for a couple years they wanted to play together. The superstars who can pretty much pick where they are signing already know where they are headed.
