i dont think that would be enough to get love:

-Mirza is not a great asset
-Lopez fetches at most 1 lotto pick + lotto protected first
- bogs is 25 and will cost them their MLE
i just dont see that being attractive. i think they would need mimimum a top 5 pick, another lotto picks, cap relief, and a young player better then bogs/mirza.
The only thing that really matters is where Love wants to play and if the places that he wants to play have a package that's acceptable.
If he says I'll go to Brooklyn and only Brooklyn, Minny can wait a year and lose him for nothing and have us sign him outright anyway or actually get something for him. If they trade him to another place, he'd just threaten not to re-sign and then they'd be scared of trading him.
Plus, I don't thin MIN is fond trading with the Lakers as well as having Love remain in conference.
We don't have great assets, but I wouldn't put it behind Schwartz to put it into Love's mind that this is what he needs to do. There are so many Schwartz affiliates on this team (including D-Will and Kidd) that I imagine that this discussion is being had behind closed doors.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Schwartz had a long chat with Love WHILE he was at Barclays Center.[/quote]
1) Love hasnt indicated he would demand a trade to the nets and only the nets. and i think that scenario is unlikely.
2) Minny would rather let Love walk then take on lopez. So we would need to get assets for lopez that would entice minny. Which would require someone who wants lopez, which is still very up in the air based on his injury
i just dont see it. i think love would list 6 or more teams, and one of them would have a package much better suited for the t'wolves
