Ideal Kevin Love Trades

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

McLemore, No. 8, unprotected 2016 1st and unprotected 2018 1st... If the Kings offered this while on the clock and Randle was available, I'd think long and hard about accepting it.

I'd do it for sure with Vonleh, Randle or Gordon on the board. No way he stays there. It'll probably add up to 3 Top 10 picks

Rumor has it that the Wolves have Randle/Vonleh higher than Gordon due to shooting abilities. Plus I see Gordon as a SF in the NBA. Out of Randle/Vonleh, I have Randle as the by far better prospect.

Let's say it works out like this:

1. Wiggins - CLE
2. Embiid - MIL
3. Parker - PHI
4. Exum - ORL
5. Vonleh - UTA
6. Gordon - BOS
7. Smart - LAL
8. ? - SAC

Getting Randle, McLemore and two future top-10 picks. Thanks, Sacramento.

(I'm starting to believe that we'll hold on to Love, though.)

Would the Sixers give up Young, Noel and their #3 pick for Love and Kevin Martin ? If so, should the Wolves do that deal?

I think they would. They have big cap space at their disposal as well.

The question is, will love want to go there? If the sixers dont think he will stay there then they wont make the deal.

A deal i like for us would be pek+13 for young +10.

Philly just traded their own young All-Star (Jrue) for the 10th pick in this draft and Noel last year. Isn't trading 3/Noel a step in the wrong direction for their rebuild? They aren't good enough to win right now even with Love. Yeah it'd be nice to have a MCW/Love duo if you're Philly, but it doesn't do much for their future.

Actually, it could be argued that it's a very poor move for them since it ruins three drafts for them (Noel in 2013, 2014 possible star and 2015's since Love would put them low lottery), so to speak.

IF they actually offered that, though, it's a no-brainer to take that deal. We'd be stealing. Wiggins/Parker, Noel and Young? That'd be the quickest "yes" out of Flip's mouth.

I'd then look to flip Young to the Kings for their No. 8 draft pick and see if we could swap Bud for an expiring.

Possible result after the trade: Parker, Noel, Stauskas (8) for Love and Martin? Thank you, Philly.

PG: Rubio
SG: Stauskas
SF: Parker
PF: -
C: Noel

That's a lineup I'd kill to watch play.

Why are Utah and Boston both passing on Smart in your scenario in order to take bigs? I can't imagine Utah passing up the chance to get an impact two way 1/2 guard in order to draft yet another project big to spell Favors.

[KiwiMatt]

Kevin Love, Kevin Martin, 44th and 53rd picks to Phoenix for Goran Dragic, Gerald Green, Channing Frye, Markieff Morris and 14th pick plus return of future 1st we owe them.

Draft Nik Stauskas at 13, Zach LeVine at 14, Thanasis Antetokounmpo at 40 (assign to D League).

Trade Barea for a future 2nd round pick.

Rubio / LeVine / Shved
Dragic / Stauskas / Budinger
Green / Brewer / Muhammad
Morris / Frye / LMAM
Pekovic / Dieng / Turiaf

Smart's a point guard in the NBA. I don't see Utah or Boston looking to add a player at that position when they have other needs. With all these second tier prospects likely ranked close together in terms of talent, they can choose a guy at a position they need help at.

Utah still doesn't have a big that can play with Favors. I've continued to say that Gordon is a SF in the NBA, so there's that too. From a need perspective, I'm not wrong here. It all depends on where UTA/BOS ranks Smart on their boards.
