While I agree with most of your take, whatdtcom, I take issue with giving Love any credit for doing us a service. It was in his best interest too to shut up and allow Flip to work deals with the handful of teams he was willing to be traded to (let's not forget no deal was going to happen unless Kevin gave the team a "wink" that he would resign with them), and he acted accordingly. I'm certain Love's agent advised him to keep his mouth shut and let Flip work the deal, and except for his one interview gaffe, he was able to comply. If Kevin did us any service, it was only as a by product of his doing a service to the one entity he is truly loyal to...Kevin Love.

Call Love an asshole all ya want, but hey let's face it, the guy made 100% the best decision. The Wolves were the worst team in the NBA and the Cavs are the 2 seed and have a real shot of winning it all. I don't blame him one bit but I would of done exactly the same thing in his situation
