    Considering Love wants out, this would be good for both teams. cavs get Love while T-Wolves get a future star along with other assets while sending Love to a horrible team and not a contender.

    Wiggins is a stud - would be nice consolation for the Wolves if Love walks.

    I'm pretty sure the Cavs would only do this trade with a commitment from LeBron, so no they wouldn't be a "horrible" team.

    If I'm Cleveland, I also don't do this trade without a commitment from Kevin Love to resign.

    But I don't think there front office is smart enough to do that.

    Lebron, Love, Kyrie, hummmmmmm Bosh or Mello to Houston would be in the bag.

    This guy has already backtracked and now says they have an offer on the table.

    If you can get a commitment from Love to stay for the long term, I'd do it in a heart beat.

    To be honest, Wiggins is an overrated talent, the dude is a rich man's MKG at best. He's not a generational talent like Anthony Davis. If the Cav's can land someone like Love for him, they should do it!

    Nice? That's a bit of an understatement! The first player taken in what was touted as the best draft in many years? It would be an incredible deal for the T-Puppies. Tell you the truth, I don't believe it. If true, wow!

    To clarify: #Cavs have an offer on the table to Minnesota for Kevin Love. The ball is in Minnesota's court. #CavsGoodKarma

    Why not... You can't win now with Love and Love is still so young he could be a factor for 10 years! . This a win/ win for both teams

    Wow. That's a huge backtrack. Obviously Cleveland would offer that. It would be a big deal if Minnesota was also interested.

    I always love how shoe companies dictate player movement in the NBA.

    If I'm LeBron, I would rather go to Cleveland with Wiggins on the team.
