Even if they are better with Thompson on the floor than Love (I agree with that), they are not better without Love in general. As part of their rotation of bigs, he is an asset. He rebounds as well as Thompson while scoring and facing the floor more effectively, his defense just sucks. His absence magnifies the need for Kyrie and vice verse. Irving being out is big, natural scorer and playmaker that's been replaced with a guy who is neither. And that guy would be contributing in a more comfortable role while Irving, who is a better defender than give him credit for, would be slotting everyone into more comfortable roles, including LeBron.

I mean your efforts to discredit LeBron are almost as ridiculous as Vex's dickriding.
