Re: Love has to go. What would you prefer....
It looks like I'm the outlier in the poll again as I have the only vote for making an unbalanced deal.
Here is my logic. I do not think it is a good idea to let Love walk at the end of next year. The Wolves have never been very effective in free agency, and we are not an attractive NBA destination. The idea of having to put up with an unhappy Love for a year only to have him walk for cap space that we can't use effectively is not an attractive option for me. I've always assumed that any deal involving Love would be unbalanced, but I just want him out of here. I'm counting on Flip to make the least unbalanced deal he can...hopefully one involving picks.
What I do know is this team has not been able to make the playoffs with Love as our star. We can argue all we want about the reasons the Wolves haven't made the playoffs, but the fact remains...we haven't gotten there with Love. I don't want to watch a team whose star doesn't want to be here, so I'm ready for the next era to begin.

That's the attitude that would keep the wolves out of the playoffs for another 10 years

Glen Taylor said that they looking for a trade Love only for making the team better, otherwise Love wo`nt be traded ...
Lavine play good for us today and Fesenko too ...

Lavine has at the end of third 13 pts (5-12, 1-2, 2-2) with 3 rebounds - good game for him.
Dieng with 13 rebounds.

Is it just me, or does every Taylor quote just piss me off? I don't think I can remember listening to anything Glen has said and thought it was intelligent.
HOW DID HE BECOME SO RICH!
It's not just you, Alex. I really wish Taylor would keep his "thoughts" to himself. He is proof that you donr have to be smart to get rich in America. You have to be bold and lucky. It's actually easier to be bold when you're not very bright because you done see the risks that smarter people see.

I've said before that I don't think they are very good at recording assists in SL. I haven't seen much of the game, but can LaVine really have zero assists?

If the choice is nothing versus something for Love, it should be a really easy choice. You take something.

I think the question might be better framed as a lopsided trade versus cap space. I still take the lopsided trade, unless it is completely ridiculous

If it's nothing or getting a 20 cents covered in dog poop, Ill take nothing
Re: Love has to go. What would you prefer....
If we can get Marcus Smart, Olynyk and a couple unprotected future first round picks from the Celtics for Love rather than simple letting Love walk, it would ridiculous to pass on that deal.
