Me Too. With Embiid getting hurt again I think it helps our chances.

Have they? I think Klay not being on the table was the worst kept secret of all time. Celtics offer is as good as its gonna be. Cavs still haven't offered their 1st yet. Nuggets deal looks terrible. Ditto for the Kings

Yes, the offers are getting better. No surprise there. I suspected there would be a bidding war and one appears to be taking shape. No telling how high teams will be willing to go with their offers. Cool -- I will give you full credit if the Wolves pull off what I would consider a good deal. I'm also going to blame you for a bad deal. :)

Okay Lip, I can live with that!

If it's Love and Martin, I'm still ok with the deal. More importantly, this report should fuel the bidding war. The stakes have just been raised. Perhaps this plus Embiid's foot injury will prompt Cleveland to finally offer up their #1 pick along with Tristan Thompson, Waiters and possibly Varejao. If Cleveland puts that deal on the table, I'd grab it, even if we add Martin to the deal.

I never think its a good idea to purge a roster that won 33 games in the east. We'd look a hell a lot like the Cavs except replace Irving with Rubio. ICK

I disagree, Alex. First, I think the Cavs underachieved with the talent they had and I expect that the Wolves will be much better coached than the Cavs were last season. Second, we'd have a 20-10 guy in Pekovic that the Cavs didn't have last season. Finally, we'd get an elite talent with the #1 pick. And let's not forget the potential of Dieng and Shabazz.

I hope you're right, cool, but I'm not seeing offers getting better like you are. Broussard says it's Klay and Lee for Love/Martin/JJ/13th pick. That's not offers getting better...that's grand theft larceny.

Long -- I agree it's a horrible offer. But I have a couple thoughts. First, I'm not sure we can trust that Broussard has the facts. More likely he's parroting one the message put out by one side -- namely the Warriors. Second, I it wouldn't be surprinsing if the report is true, but I would considering it nothing more than Golden State posturing. They finally offer up Klay, but then demand the 13th pick and take Harrison Barnes out of the mix. If I were Flip, upon hearing this offer I'd tell the Golden State GM to call me back when he's serious, period, exclamation point!

Yeah, that's going the wrong way. That is a terrible deal! I'd tell GS we're closing the door on their offers if they're trying to fleece us like that. Just work out a deal with Cleveland or Boston please!!
