New story for @SBNation : Kevin Love won a title in Cleveland. He's going to have his jersey retired. He's a Cavs legend. But his legacy might be more about him discussing his mental health and how that helped people. Here are some of people he helped:

Weirdest Cavs thing is trying to bring LeBron back into the discussion when this is the first time in 20 years that they’ve mattered without him on the roster. Just me, though.

I think we can sum up the state of the Cavs by saying their All-Star center and All-Defense level rookie are both out and he's being replaced by a big who, until they signed him on a two-way, was on a 10-day deal. This just is not the same team no matter how you look at it.

Looks like Mobley is going to finish with 38 points on 19-27 shooting to go with 9 rebounds and 3 assists. That's 38, by the way, with zero free throws and zero three-pointers. He was 0-1 from the line, 0-2 from three.
