    Charles Barkley was a much better player than love. You could give him the ball and expect him to win you games.

    I see the Cavs as a crappy organization that got extremely lucky.

    To be able to nab 3 1st round picks in a span of 4 years...is ridiculous. That being said, not only did this team have the #1 overall pick, they were able to nab the best player in the world. There is zero question that a trio of Love, James, and Irving would be one of the best in game...But if the Cavs trade 2 #1 picks(in Wiggins, and Bennett) and a future 1st round pick...they deserve to be back in the cellar. If you are the Cavs...you do nothing till the trade deadline.

    They do. It pisses me off just to think how lucky they are and that they might fold to Flip frigging Saunders in mid July. What's the rush? No one is offering anything comparable.

    I see Morey getting in on Wiggins if he's available...

    Could Harden come to the room and give us deep tissue massage?

    Quite possibly! If nothing else, he could bring some big ass strippers from his favorite club and have them do it to both of you, while he watches, no doubt. Actually, that sounds a bit frightening. Maybe you guys should change your plans! ;-)-

    Very hard right now to see a player like Love traded for anything we have to offer ATM. I think it is going to take more than flexibility to get the best player in a K Love deal.

    That pick that went to LA with JLin really hurts.

    doesn't matter. Wiggins > Klay so if Cavs put up Wiggins it's game over for Warriors unless they include Curry

    makes you wonder if the Wiggins talk is all just smoke to get the Warriors attention on adding Klay

    I really don't understand what the Warriors are doing...

    You give up Klay for Love all day, every day. Even if you have no guarantee that Love will re-sign. It is worth the chance isn't it?

    Minnesota ​

    outgoing: 1 year of Kevin Love
    incoming: 2 years + QO (another 3-4?) of Klay Thompson


    Warriors ​

    outgoing: 2 years + QO (another 3-5?) of Klay Thompson
    incoming: 1 year of Kevin Love
    dibs on having the opportunity to persuade (or dissuade) his to resign.

    You guys vastly overrate Kevin Love. He is the Kevin Martin of power forwards.
