    I highly doubt Klay Thompson is holding the deal up - the biggest thing has to be that Love has not committed to re-signing in Golden State afterwards. If I am Golden State I would do that deal in a heart beat if I have a extension commitment from Love - but if not then I would definitely have my reservations.

    Giving up Klay and Lee (despite Lee's contract) for basically a year rental and Kevin Martin on the hook for 2 more years? --- THAT looks bad

    I get the sense that Saunders just isn't comfortable dealing Love yet.

    Yeah listening to Ford on the most recent B.S. Report it seems that his feeling is that it's going to happen. Seems like from what he has heard is that they have agreed on most things, just not everything yet.

    Seems like Chad Ford gets used like his buddy Chris Broussard.

    Yeah, he and Broussard have permanent hand prints on their ankles.

    bad trade for both teams though obviously better for golden state. Minny can't even tank right.

    Any trade will likely be bad for the T Wolves.

    What an idiot that guy is then. Players with Thompson's skillset grow on trees.

    I'm sure they could get someone like Ilyasova for relatively cheap, say Barnes.

    Seems like a significant lack of brains in the brain trust.

    Actually it's smart. I was happy at first when I heard the news that they would trade Lee and Klay for Love. It was a lateral move.

    Someone will offer a better package than Lee and Barnes.

    Hell the Rockets can offer a better package than that.

    Cleveland had a deal in place for Kevin Love, but he refused to play for the Cavs... per WOJO

    That's not what he said. He said the Cavs were pushing a deal that was #1 for Love but that Love said he would not resign there and so the talks died.

    No deal was agreed upon (at least not reported by Woj) and Love never said he would play.
