Agreed, we need to move Rubio and get one of these stud point guards in the draft and make our move once LeBron and the Warriors have fallen off in four years, good idea Ricky!

Iggy is a good player. If only Wiggins and Zach were as good, we'd have made the playoffs.

Iggy is good because of his defense. But no sir, he is no Andrew Wiggins.


Very different players and given their age, I want Wiggy. But Iggy is the better player now. Finals MVP and his on court impact was miles better than Wiggy.

He plays with a lot of great players, and they make him better. I'll give him his due, but he is nothing like Andrew Wiggins.


Sure, I agree. But that could be taken as a compliment.

Wig gets criticized a lot here, much more than he deserves. 95% of the time I read it and bite my lip. But when someone tries to tell me Andre Iquodala is miles better than Andrew it's time to bring some sanity to the conversation.

I agree with you. I hate the iggy, covington, crowder are better than Wiggins things.

Wiggins has his faults what he really needs to improve on but none of those guys can play the role that wiggins plays better and it is not even close. You can't just look at numbers to see that.

If wiggins was in the Celtics or the Warriors he might be so damn good and he is able to play the best role type player in the league (that is not a dis, his numbers might dip but his strengths can be shown more and his weaknesses can be hidden better)

Cleveland needs to add some defense to that roster. GS is phenomenal offensively, but Cleveland was flat out bad defensively for 3 out of the 5 games. Just too many easy looks off defensive breakdowns at the rim. Get a rim protector or wing defender and I think it's a much better series.

Switch Iggy for Jefferson and it's a series. Emabarrassing Jefferson is playing heavy minutes, considering he'll out of the league in two weeks. Same with Deron Williams. A players like Wilson Chandler would be perfect for the Cavs. They need to move Love to get more athletic. I know they got a title with Love but Wig would look nice, especially playing the Dubs.

There are only two stud point guards in the draft (Fullz and Ball) and we aren't getting either. Ricky is still a young guy at 26 and I could see him playing into his late 30s. Nash, Lowry and Kidd all blossomed in their late 20s, so Ricky's best is yet to come. Don't be shocked if Ricky makes an all star team in the next few years.
