#1+Waiters+filler for Love+#13. Done.

Now all we need to do is get Irving to convince Love to opt into his extra year so Love so that Cleveland can take their shot at LeBron...and if they stick it there, they'd get Love and Irving long-term too.

If offered that you have to take it. I think draft night is where the trade will happen if it is not with Cleveland. The Cavs could pull the trigger right now. Love is the best player they will get for the first pick. I would still want to trade down if we got the 1st pick. I would love to get 76ers 3/10 or Orlando's 4/12 or Jazz's 5/23. My target would be Smart in this draft.

If we got the 1st pick, I wouldn't risk trading down. That's also because my guy is Jabari and I'm starting to get the feeling he'll end up in Milwaukee.

Wolfson: "Interesting from Chad Ford: Bulls & Nuggets talking 11 for 16 & 19. Speculation, but think #Twolves would prefer 11 in potential Love deal."

CHI: Mirotic, Gibson, Butler, 11

MIN: Love, Martin

- Move Mirotic to LA for 7.

PG: Rubio/MLE
SG: Stauskas/Brewer
SF: Butler/Muhammad
PF: Gibson/Randle (7)
C: Pekovic/Dieng

(Still have 13; if needed would use it to make sure I got Randle)

Should still be competitive while having young pieces.

23 or younger: Rubio, Randle, Dieng, Stauskas, Muhammad

Vets: Rubio, Butler, Gibson, Pekovic, Brewer.

Lol okay, Alex. Add in Boozer and we can buy him out. Happy? Good.

Saric's been a bit of a diva prospect. Pulled out of last year's because of the team he might get drafted by. Seems like he wants the fame and lights. I know Rubio had that same talk around him, but their personalities seem different.

I thought they couldn't re-enter unless they sat out of pro ball for at least a full season, and with Rubio, they said it would be longer due to the Euro league season not lining up with the NBA.

I'd have to go check on that, to be honest. You could very well be right.
