Rumor: Cleveland has deal in place for Love (Wiggins potentially involved)

I think they'll get Love eventually. But I don't see any rumored offers from other teams that would make me think that Wiggins should be involved. If the Cavs include Wiggins, they are doing a James Dolan. "I want a player, so I'll give everything they ask."

By the way, Bennett looks pretty cool. He dropped like 30 pounds. He looks in shape, he finished the season strong. The Cavs have Waiters, Bennett, Thompson, a bunch of picks. I think they are clear favorites to land Love even if they keep Wiggins.

 

Even tho I want the Warriors to get Love, if this deal involves Wiggins its the better deal than the Warriors Klay Thompson. But then T'wolves said they want to win and compete next season, Klay Thompson is more ready.

 

You are under the assumption that the t-wolves care to make any deals. I would not trade Kevin Love at all if I'm going to get lowballed like that. I'm serious. I would not trade Kevin Love at all.

Again, gs tried to lowball and look where it got them.

 

Yes, but you are a brave internet poster, not an NBA GM who thinks about keeping his job.

They'll probably move him, just like Dwight, CP3, Melo, DWill got moved. And they'll take the best offer available. If they get Wiggins, great for them, that would be better than other teams got for their superstars in recent years.

But so far it all looks very familiar. Wolves are getting lowballed.

 

Longshot but hoping the Cavs keep Wiggins and still get Love. That would be monster. Love has some leverage here too right?

 

T-Wolves took down the K-Love wallpaper today so he's probably out already

 

Unless the Cavs are willing to part with Wiggins or Lebron(lol)...zero chance that Love comes to Cleveland...

Minnesota will want Wiggins from Cleveland. And Lebron already has strongly endorsed Wiggins.

 

lmao if the rumor i read is true the warriors would have beat the rockets for worst offseason

no way GS does that

 

I think the Cavs strong public denials should put to rest the idea they will trade Wiggins.

While the T-Wolves aren't in the best position, still can't see this 3-way happening without Wiggins' involvement. It appears Flip wants to make some kind of deal so he can move on but he has to patient. The season doesn't start for 3 1/2 months.

 

Eff this Cavs circle-jerk, they just got the best player on Earth! If they want Love, they HAVE to give up Wiggins.

 

So the Warriors basically trade one dimensional Klay Thompson for Andrew Wiggins?

I'm not buying that. Minnesota should just demand Wiggins for Love straight up.

 

err wrong thread

 

Demand? Don't think they have any bargaining power when their superstar won't resign with them next year, and they are left empty handed.

 

They have the bargaining power to bluffing.

Which might not seem like much... Except (1) it's happened very recently where a team just let a player play it out - see Dwight Howard, (2) it's Minnesota management, so who knows, and (3) waiters, bennet, Tristan Thomson and draft picks that will probably not be great.... C'mon, add Kyrie Irving and those guys were still horrible in the East. Not all young talent is created equal. Why are the TWolves so hot for Klay Thomson? Efficient scorer who would be a great fit next to Rubio that actually plays defense. Why are they insisting on Wiggins? Cause again, not all lotto picks are created equal. The Cavs offer is yawn inducing absent Wiggins.

If I'm the TWolves I'd prefer short term veterans that mighty actually be able to make the team competitive than the Cavs offer. No it's not the conventional way teams go about this process but look at what the conventional way has reaped? Jazz, Nuggets, Magic.... Which team did the best? The Nuggets in a deal heavy on actually decent current NBA talent.

I don't know who that team is considering the Love needing to resign consideration. Phoenix would be a great fit... But for the fact that the talent the Suns have to give up is at the point... Which the Wolves dont need.

Rockets don't have enough assets that I can tell. TJones and the Pellies pick is a nice starter but needs more.

 

Welp.
Looks like its LeBron's league still.

If this goes down you can kiss everyone's chances at a championship goodbye.

Cavs are stacked. 3 stars and they still have depth.

 

Morey's wet dream

 

Of course they're going to get low-balled. Love made it clear he doesn't want to be in Minnesota. They could lose him or nothing if theyre not too careful and get too greedy.

Minnesota should jump on that in a heartbeat. Flip Saunders played the situation well if ends up with Wiggins at the end of all of this. He's far more valuable than Klay Thompson, and Wiggins will be an exciting player to watch for T-Wolves fans. Thompson is a great shooter, but he's not a building block for a franchise.
