The main point I was trying to make is the Wiggins deal happens after we see where Melo goes. Agreed?

So because you found 1 recent example, that means we're going to be the exact same right? I guess I shouldn't pay attention to Cleveland, Utah, Toronto or Orlando.

Melo
2010 they were 50-32
2011 lock out year Melo traded half way through 38-28
2012 better overall record without Melo 57-25

Jeez, I can't believe a baseball guy beat me to the punch :)

I heard the reason the Cleveland dealing isn't going through is cause they won't take Pelfrey or Nolasco ;) lol and who's a bigger waste of 23 mil the baby Jesus Joe Mauer or Chris Bosh lol

Don't get mad you said name one and the baseball guy named one

Not top 10 but part of the big three Chris Bosh

2010 raptors record 22-60

2011 23-43 technically better more wins in less games

2012 34-48

So technically they were a better team without bosh lol

I don't get mad, I just don't get how using statistical outliers is a good way to make a point. Even 2/5 says were more likely to not get better than get better. Cleveland, Orlando and Utah have been at the top of the lottery practically every year since they lost their stars so I don't see how we are a playoff team in a stacked conference. Denver has a huge home court advantage that contributes to their success year in and year out so even including them is a stretch because even a mediocre Denver team gets extra wins from home court.

Then maybe you shouldn't ask for one to disprove your point.

The guy with the creepy eyeball thing going on has a point.

I look forward to bumping this thread when we aren't even close to making the playoffs without Love.
