    What is the fascination with Rubio? He can't shoot and he can't defend. You're historically pathetic if your 2 pt shooting percentage is 38%.

    Cavs would be stupid to include wiggins in any trade with love. The twolves has no leverage at all!!! Just be patient n call wolves bluff. Worse, cavs can pick him up next year if love really wants to play with lebron.

    So the Warriors bid is still David Lee + a scrub (Harrison Barnes), and the Cavs are supposedly offering Wiggins and maybe even Bennett + a pick on top of that.

    It just makes no sense and sounds like BS. It's like there's a bidding war, $20k, $22k, $23k, and then one person gets bored and says "A million!"

    He's one of the best defensive guards in the league.

    Yeah I'm not buying it, if Minnesota was really offered Wiggins it would be a done deal. They have to know they aren't keeping Love past this season.

    So that means Love is gone. What other star player will shake loose?

    Love is better than wiggins now and he'll be better than wiggings when wiggins matures and is in his prime.

    there are very few players that will or could reach kevin love's level and if love is somehow dealt to the cavs, love will be the best player that lebron has ever played with.

    i still not sure why people think wiggins and klay thompson is adequate compensation for kevin love.

    hell, beyond lebron, love was and should have been the second most desirable fa in this fa period.

    If love leaves Rubio will want out too. And their rookie has been showing flashes.

    That is not really the point. The point is: the TWolves are losing Love next off season no matter what. No way he stays there. And there is a pretty good chance, that LeBron has already convinced him of playing with him.

    Wiggins is the top pick in the most anticipated draft of the last years. He has value, lots of value. Now if the Cavs are just patient, they could probably get Love next off season and keep Wiggins. Or they call the TWolves bluff and wait.

    Did you think Eric Gordon plus a pick was adequate compensation for Chris Paul?
    Vucevic and a few picks adequate compensation for Dwight Howard?

    Adequate compensation has nothing to do with the topic. Minnesota is having a fire sale, even if they might not call it that way.

    Chris Paul is a good example. However, I'd counter with Deron Williams and Melo. They basically did what Love is doing and Utah and Denver got a haul.

    To me Kevin Love is a better version of Melo but yet the warriors are offering David lee for him? lol.

    kyrie, lebron, love is not good enough.

    kyrie and love are overrated and don't have a big impact on the game, especially defensively.

    He's not magically going to become a good shooter.

    Patrick Beverley is better defensively as acknowledged by the NBA with his selection to 2nd team all-defense. Pass on Rubio.
