The Love-Wiggins Deal Thread

[TAFKASP]

Looks like Warriors are trying to get back in on the deal now?

That would be better in the short term but I'm a bit bored with better, go for great.

That is if this guy is wrong who says the deal is done and its Wiggins Thompson and Waiters for Love and GR3

The guy has 69 followers. I'd bet he's just reposting what he's read and presenting it as his own. Short of the no draft picks involved and the Brewer speculation there is nothing new there.

I just can't believe how much ppl bash Love's Talent. I swear half the ppl out there think that the Cavs are giving up way to much. Kevin Love is a Top Ten player if not top 5. How many outlet passed is he gonna fed Lebron and Kyrie it's gonna be a frenzy.

I know I will probably get killed for this but if we make the Wiggins trade (wiggins/Bennet/Cavs 1st), maybe we could do a sign and trade with the pistons, Kmart,Bud and Shved (maybe a the Cavs 1st) for Monroe.

PG: Rubio/Barea/Lavine
SG: Brewer/Lavine/Shabazz
SF: Wiggins/Shabazz/LRAM/Brewer
PF: Monroe/Bennett/Dieng
C: Pek/Dieng/Turiaf

The reason why the pistons would do this is because they don't want to pay three big guys, big money, and Smith and Monroe don't work well together. Also Stan Van wants to add shooting and thats what he does in this trade

Keek, I was on board with trading for monroe a month ago but I dont think it can be done now. Now that the pistons have commit big money on meeks and sign butler. Along with kcp and singler. They seem pretty set at their wing/shooter rotation. Plus, I get the sense that svg really likes and want to keep monroe and will rather trade smith or keep both if they cant find a taker for smith. Keeping monroe is also the best decision for the pistons. Stan will keep him.

Any interest from you guys for Josh Smith? Or is the Contract just that bad

Im getting excited at the possibility of getting wiggins. In a perfect world, I would rather have love but the reality is he wants out and the best we can get from him in my opinion is wiggins. If this happens, I hope we lock rubio up. I am certain that rubio will step up and take up the leadership role once love is traded.

I was thinking the same thing. 3 years at 14 million per really isn't that bad as long as you keep him from jacking up terrible shots. He is a very good all-around player and he would fit with Rubio and defensively next to Pek. I don't see what salaries we could send to make that reasonably happen though even if you decided to take him on. He is like a forward version of Monte Ellis you aren't sure what you are going to get.

wow.. so unsigned 1st round picks don't count towards the cap in a trade. That's the dumbest shit I've heard. 1st round picks are slotted into salaries... THAT should be the figure that counts against the cap in a trade. Stupid NBA...
