Every day that goes by the Wolves lose some leverage. One less day for Love to run away.
I actually think the Wolves are gaining leverage at the moment. Right now Cleveland, GS, and Boston are all interested in Love. If Anthony returns to New York, Chicago would also be likely to come calling. I can see decent possible deals from GS (Thompson, Lee, Barnes), Chicago (Gibson, Butler, Mirotic), and Cleveland (Wiggins+). It only takes one of those three to agree.
Here's the thing. If Love tells GS and Boston he'd only sign with Cleveland, they don't even make offers. And even though it is true that the Wolves could say "well, in that case we won't send you to Cleveland because we don't like their offer" (and that's THE leverage the Wolves have at this moment), Love could threaten with letting his contract expire and the Wolves would get absolutely nothing in return instead of two young players with some potential (Waiters and Bennett, Cavs aren't trading Thompson) and a bunch of picks.
