I will probably get killed on this trade idea but it is just a hypothetical.
Min gets: the Morris twins, Len, Okafor (expiring 14M), Our first back, there first lottery protected and there 2016 first unprotected
Phx gets: Love, Hummel, Shved, LRMAM, Turiaf
My thoughts behind the trade, the Morris twins have played amazing this year, both could be quality starters and they are both just 24, Len is another project but I love his offensive potential, Okafor expiring is nice so we would have cap to work with in the offseason. We get our pick back, which means, we can actually trade a draft pick now, or we can just draft a player, another pick in the mid to late first round because PHX would make the playoffs and an 2016 unprotected, if Love stays PHX, what he might because they would be a good team we would get a mid to late first rounder, or he would leave and we would get an early first round pick. We also get rid of LRMAM bad contract, and have a chance to develop young talent what the wolves don't like to do
Our lineup for the rest of the year
PG; Rubio/Barea/Price
SG: Martin/Shabazz/Bud
SF: Morris/Brewer/Bud
PF:Morris/Cunningham/Morris
C: Pek/Len/Dieng/Okafor
The Suns do it because it makes them a threat in the west, have three players all star caliber all 27 or under, they would be a top 4 team in the west IMO, and could give teams hell running Bledsoe and Love PnR or Goran and Love PnR

Re: Trade Idea
It's an idea to keep in mind, for sure. They have the picks to make it an attractive idea. I wouldn't do it this off-season, though. If we miss the playoffs, chances are we'll have our own pick anyways. In that case, you take the lottery pick and give it another season with Love and see what happens with some re-tooling.
