Guess the Wiggins-Love trade contest
I know we have a Kevin Love thread, but we need to spice this board up a little and play a game.
We have all been following (obsessing) all the reports on the Kevin Love deal. And it has been speculated from here to the moon.
Recently, I realized this is less speculation and more a waiting game. This happened when LeBron publicly said Kevin Love's name in an interview. He continues to name drop Kevin Love again and again, which usually would be tampering...but seeing as Adam Silver and LeBron are basically in love with each other I take it to mean the deal is done.
Now, the only question left is what and who is involved in this deal.
Rules to the game are everyone takes a stab at the official deal, see who get's the closest. If the official deal is a 3-way, you have to say all the pieces (or as many as possible to win). Also, the deal has to work in the REALGM trade checker (espn trade machine doesn't count).
At the end we'll choose the best 3 trades and vote on them, first trade to get 10 (subject to change on participation) votes wins the game.
My guess is Philadelphia is involved, because this gives the Wolves the chance to give more players to Cleveland (IE Barea's championship pedigree at position of need).

KLove
Brewer

Re: Guess the Wiggins-Love trade contest
Yeah, if it's a two way, what Maefteda said.
If it's a three way:
MN: Love, Shved, Muhammad, LMAM for Wiggins, Bennett, Young
Cavs: Wiggins, Bennett, Miami #1 for Love
Philly: Young for Miami #1, Muhammad, LMAM, Shved
If Bennet isn't going to Philly, doesn't really need to be a three-way unless Philly doesn't want to take on any extra expiring contracts.

There is another version of this where Brewer goes to Cleveland, but I can't quite get the financials to work. I think Allen will sign there and they'll have their 10-man rotation anyway with Waiters/Allen/Miller/Thompson/Harris off the bench. Shved is an option too since he's expiring and won't affect their chances at bringing someone in next year, but I'm sure they don't want to pay him to be a 3rd stringer. Maybe Blatt thinks he could bring the magic back, though.
Edit: It works perfectly if you add Shved to Cleveland and the 3 unguaranteeds to Minnesota. The deal couldn't go down until Sep 22 though, since Thomas has a trade restriction. If Blatt wants backcourt depth, add this to my entry as 1B.

I can pretty much guarantee Philly isn't trading Thad without either getting Bennett or a 1st back at this point. Maybe closer to the deadline they move him for 2nds and expirings but no reason to dump him now for crap players and no long term assets.
The feedback I've received from our fans is they understand we are trying to build something great. Good decisions come from having a broad set of options and making tough calls. We will do it unblinkingly. We have to be willing to take smart risks-Hinkie

I can pretty much guarantee you watch zero minutes of Corey Brewer this season.

Imma be pissed if wolves trade Bennett and a first round pick for Young. Might as well not trade for the mediocre PF with an opt out if Philly wants more than bennett

I didn't mention it, but part of the benefit of this trade is that we will be $8.5M under the cap after the trade, and after we dump Murphy and Delladova, we'll also have 3 available roster spots. This may be our only chance to bring over Bjelica or Dublijevic or both while possibly signing GR3 or Fesenko or Brand. Phili is taking $8.4M in salary in this trade - much of it is named Barea Shved and Mbah a Moute. They need to add salary anyhow, but they should get some extra benefit in doing so.

Re: Guess the Wiggins-Love trade contest
Why take on Thad's contract? Unless we can dump Budd and JJ. I think that Mo Will is going to thrive this year so he can turn around and make one last long term contract. I can see Williams being traded near the deadline for a 1st round pick.. So if Lebron isn't happy he will make that decision on who should be brought in.
