Anyone find it crazy how durable and indestructible LeBron actually is? The guy never gets injured. The worst I can remember was that time he got cramps but the air conditioning wasn’t working  or something
I thought he missed a couple games with a sprained ankle early this season.  His durability while playing an incredible amount of minutes during the regular season and playoffs is simply amazing.

I like seeing the Cavs struggle but I also hope they're decent enough to hold onto the 3rd seed. As horrible they may seem to be in the regular season, Lebron can still carry this trash team very deep into the playoffs. We do NOT want to see them until the ECF.

Does this injury make him "untouchable" in the trade season?

These ailments seem to hit him when his team is losing games too.

Probably Dragic.  Maybe Simmons.

Simmons making it over Dragic would be flat out wrong. Two players from an 8-seed but none from the 4-seed? Ugh.

Dragić was already bypassed choice 2-3 times this year. He is clearly the best player on the East 4th team. They have win% as OKC. They have 2 players in.
Detroit has 6 wins less than Miami, they are 5(!) spots lower in the standings, guard (Wall) gets injured and guess what - Drummond is in.
I think Dragic played better and more of a team winning basketball than Wall did this year in the 1st place. In the last 3 months, Wall alienated his teamates, missed games to injury, played like he half-cares and is a shoe-in for ASG.

Typically, Euro gets snubbed. We have seen it many times.

Not really.  Only 3.5 games separate them and the Sixers have played a much tougher schedule.  The Heat actually have a negative point differential.  Simmons has better numbers and has been playing quite good defensively.

Could see Kemba sneaking in as well, but doubtful considering how poor Charlotte has been

Short term = good news for Cleveland. This will make it easier to fit Isaiah into the team. One less guy taking touches and shot attempts away from Isaiah. Help him find his role in the team. Cleveland will have a better team offense without K-Love. So I believe Cleveland will win more without Love for next 6-8 weeks than they would have with him (given their current chemistry issues).

Long term
= playoffs = lack of time to bed in Love and get a balance between Love, LeBron and Isaiah. That will hurt them come playoff time and makes it more likely Cleveland will lose in the East to Boston or Toronto.

It is Drummond.  Which makes sense since he was by far the most deserving front court player and Love was a front court player.

Who replaced Wall though? Or did Drummond replace Wall and someone is yet to replace Love?
