Re: Best Potential Love Trades
LST - I agree with you. If Lebron picks the Cav's. I don't see us trading Love to them.

Re: Best Potential Love Trades
We got the leverage to get Wiggins/TT/Waiters/Bennett for Love/Bud/Barea
Might as well maximize the young assets we get because none are proven commodities. For all we know wiggins could disappoint. I hate to say it but remember the Wes Johnson hype about his athleticism. Anyone see similarities between Wes and Wiggins? Does Wiggins have the motor and alpha dog personality to be great? Wes had no fire and was happy go lucky. I sometimes get that feel listening to Wiggins in interviews etc.
I'm all for a Cleveland trade but it's got to be really sweet for us and giving those 4 players should not be a problem.
Lebron/Love/Kyrie/Varejo/Gee is pretty deadly. Without KLove I don't think Lebron comes home. That's some pretty nice leverage to have and we should use it to get everything we want from them..

I could see that happening towards the latter part of the season. No matter what, wiggins is the one I want and I would believe flip wants as well. Glen, flip and the wolves have a fanbase to sell. Getting wiggins in exchange for losing a superstar in love is the best sell for the fans. You get a young and exciting player on a rookie deal rather than overpaying for a player we all know is not worth max money.
Forget about parsons and klay. Goodluck to rockets/mavs and warriors on paying them max deals. Go get wiggins flip.
Wiggins for Love would be nice to sell to the fans and on another sort of note its hard to have shame in Love leaving Minny to go team up with Lebron right? I mean him leaving sucks but its not like he left here for just whereever. He would be ballin with Lebron.
To me for the Cavs I would have some pause about trading Wiggins for Love. If it was just wiggins for Love ok that's a no brainer but their will be more salary etc. If I was Lebron I would be excited about the young talent with the Cavs and if most of it got traded away...idk that would suck. Of course I would love driving and knowing I would be able to get it to my man Love around the basket or the 3 point line and if I miss he will clean it up. That's a dream scenario for someone that has the ball in his hand like Lebron. Oh and that Kyrie guy ain't bad either.

Re: Best Potential Love Trades
You're a fool if you don't trade Wiggins for Love in this instance. Period.

Re: Best Potential Love Trades
Monster, you summarized my thoughts exactly. I was excited about a Cavs/Wolves deal most of the day, but as I started reading some Cavs twitter feeds, I sensed a real excitement about Wiggins and Bennett. Bennett apparently looks great and is working really hard in Las Vegas. Then I thought about the deal I was falling in love with...two #1 picks and two #4 picks for Kevin Love and Bud or Martin.
Wow, I was obviously in blissful, homer land for most of the deal.
If Bennett is looking as good as all reports say he is,
Varejo
TT/Bennett
LeBron
Waiters/Wiggins
Irving
has more potential than,
Varejo
Love
LeBron
Martin/Bud
Irving
If I'm Cleveland, I'm rolling with that first team.

What the hell is wrong with you, LST? Are you okay? That second team is 100% better than a team full of unknowns. You're practically asking LeBron to carry the Cavs back to the Finals just like he did in 2007. Kyrie would be the only player besides Bron that can make shots on a consistent basis. Sure, the defense would be iffy, but you can always add defenders. Scorers? Not so much.
Stop with the pessimism I beg of you.
Re: Best Potential Love Trades
I like your proposal Maelstrom. Would slightly alter it though.
Love, Martin and Barea for Wiggins, Bennett, Waiters, Thompson and Gee (cut).
Rubio / LeVine / Shved
Waiters / Brewer / Muhammad
Wiggins / Budinger / Robinson
Bennett / Thompson / LMAM
Pek / Dieng / Turiaf
Now that's a team with massive potential!

Re: Best Potential Love Trades
Cam he said POTENTIAL. The same reason wolves fans would love to get those guys is why Cavs fans and the organization may want to keep them too. There are more than one way to look at things and we are just considering that. Like I said Love for Wiggins obviously you pull the trigger but they are going to have to give up more than that so its not that simple. Keeping Wiggins and other young guys could mean they have a Spurs type team that's deep and good for years. Its interesting to think about.
