I think it will directly depend on how well the Cavs do, how much he likes or dislikes the city, how he's used in the offense (i.e. just a jump shooter waiting on LeBron or Kyrie passes as 3rd option, and also... How well the Lakers do (i.e. does he end up believing he's all that L.A. is missing for a title, or God willing... even a title defense). _________________ Blood, sweat, tears,

No longer will I wake up and my dreams just vanished.
It’s staring right at me, I must take advantage.
No. ESPN, Broussard, and Windhorst will do the exact opposite of Dwight and pressure him to stay. _________________ Whenever the Lakers benefit all of a sudden rules need to be changed and trades need to be blocked.

1) at worst they'll be the #2 seed in the East, and see future potential for a ring
2)no matter what he's not leaving. lol
No chance. He's got it made in the East, all while riding Lebron's back. Secondly, I doubt the Cavs traded the last 2 #1 picks without assurance from Love's camp that he will re-sign long term. _________________ "It's just a job.

a month ago, Love said he'd sign an extension if he was traded to Cleveland. I doubt he's changed his mind since then.
I'd also doubt that Cleveland would make the trade without a new contract being signed.
So, not much hope of Love leaving. _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

Let me tell you, After the stunt Dan Gilbert pulled on 12/8/2011, watching that turd lose year after year and seeing him cry, whine, and lobby for number one picks again will give me more joy than anything else. Even seeing the Celtics lose is no match for Dan Gilbert losing. I seriously cannot wait for that era to commence. _________________ Whenever the Lakers benefit all of a sudden rules need to be changed and trades need to be blocked.
One thing I don't like here is how bitter most get when discussing other teams.
For fans of such a proud franchise the potshots feel a bit petty.
The Veto happened on my birthday. Pardon me if I can't feel happy for the little (bleep) that rained on it. Screw Dan Gilbert for many lifetimes hoss. _________________ Whenever the Lakers benefit all of a sudden rules need to be changed and trades need to be blocked.
and maybe 5 rings before then! It's certainly possible.
lol 5 rings...........LMAO
aww, you're in denial.
you know the truth, tho.
The Cavs are a top 3 team in the NBA; one of the other two teams best player is extremely injury prone(Bulls), and the other team is soon to be on their way off the mountain-top because of age(Spurs).
it's certainly possible that the Cavs become a dynasty.

don't be a sad clown
You're forgetting about OKC which is a pretty strong team even if durant leaves i see him joining forces with JWall in Washington a trio of John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant is a pretty formidable opponent IMHO.
Also people seem to forget that Lebron James will be 30 by the end of the year, his game is based a lot on his athleticism i wouldn't be shocked if we see a steady decline in his game from now till 3 years until the decline becomes more apparent. IMHO Love's best option will be too play with lebron this year but not for the long term and i feel like he might make that choice. I wouldn't be shocked if they became a dynasty but KLove and Irving are known for being injury prone, while Lebron situation in Miami he was able to lean on Bosh due to his excellent intangibles while Wade was struck with his knee problems and he still couldn't 3-peat and was only a couple free throws from being 1-4 in the finals.

Right now the Cavs are the 6th Best Team in the League behind the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Mavs and Bulls. Sad thing is that 4 of those teams I named are in the West so again, easy access to the ECF except for D-Wade along with Bosh in Miami challenging. The Cavs Defense will surely be tested as LeBron is known for having sub-par defensive games (see Kahwi taking it to him).
With the reigning Finals MVP getting better, I see that it's very hard to dethrone the Spurs. _________________

Anything can happen. A disastrous season. And he will think about moving. Most players are fickle.
Here's the thing. One, I think love will like lebron, as unlike Kobe, Lebron has a way of making his teammates think they are a big part of the process (even if they aren't). Two, I doubt Cleveland will ever burn him the way LA did Howard. Cleveland hasn't seen much greatness. Love won't be held to the standards of great bigs. He makes a few rounds in the offs with Lebron, wins 50 games or so and they all love him.
It's a much different environment there. One of their smartest moves was to fire Brown. He created a very dull, unattractive situation for players.

anything can happen. but I'm not going to count on those things that you've stated.

The Mavs? Any team with Lebron is already a top team, I don't know how you came up with that ranking.
