This is why the Sacramento trade is perfect. You are getting both things.

Gay+McLemore+8 for Love. We aren't going to do any better than that.

Man I hope you're wrong. Very wrong. Gay, McLemore and 8 would be as bad as the Jefferson trade.

I say dump him if you can. We could have a solid team built around Rubio, Pek, Martin, Dieng, Brewer, and Shabazz. Then add in whatever rookies we get. What would our cap space in 2015 look like if we only getting expiring contracts back for Love and pay Rubio 10M a year.

Well Chase did say that he turned down more money to stay with Minnesota.

I believe it turned out to be Milwaukee.

Often times, deals that move big name players need to have a 3rd or even 4th team in order to placate the team giving up the big name. I suspect that this type of scenario is where it will head when all is said and done. I suspect Flip will want a good lottery pick plus one or two nice players.Boston already has the pick but not the players. There might be a team out there that is interested in some of Boston's vets or ending deals plus a future pick (or 17) that may give up the players that Flip might want.

I am anxious to see what kind of offers are forthcoming. Whoever wants Love needs to cater to the Wolves and I hope Flip holds to that.
