How is this trade happening again when the Cavs have all the leverage and will never consider giving up Wiggins... :lol:

Skip Bayless is one of the dumbest sportscaster out there who likes to pretend he is some kind of smart ***. He is on first take today and said this will go down as a huge robbery in favor of the Cavs. He said what the Wolves should have done is wait until the deadline and get some more assets for Love. He also said he believes Wiggins will be a bust, and preferred Klay + Lee over this offer because Lee is already good then you add Klay. This statement is so wrong both in facts and his own opinion.

Facts that are wrong:
1) Minnesota didn't really get a chance to accept that GSW offer (even if you think it's better) because GSW never offered Klay, that's why they headed nowhere! WTF is he talking about?

His opinions that are pure stupidity:
1. Minnesota should have waited til the deadline to get more leverage
- Uhm, really?? The longer you drag this, the less leverage the wolves will have! That's common sense. How can they get more assets if they drag this?
- Do you know how bad it will be for the locker room to have this situation dragged into the season or even just training camp?
2. He didn't say it out loud, but implied Klay over Wiggins
- yeah right
3. Minnesota should ask for more than Wiggins, Bennett, Young for Love
- Stated this but can't give a concrete offer of what it would take. What more do you expect? You got the top prospect coming out of college for the last 5 years, and that's not enough? Who do you want in return then, Kyrie Irving? you think LBJ and the Cavs would do that?
4. Lee is already good and adding Klay makes it even better
- No one wants David Lee! Over rated, bad contract.

I don't know why this guy continues to broadcast and voice his stupid opinions for the world to hear. Stephen A. Smith is terrible at times, but when you compare him to Skip, he becomes an A+ sportscaster

I believe First Take is purely for entertainment and not meant to be taken seriously.

Even by commenting on how dumb the show is I feel like you are promoting it, even by accident.

yes sad to say, even if Skip is so stupid, I still watch it on youtube as it is quite entertaining at times and they are one of the few shows that upload on youtube everyday. It's a good concept, but I hope they replace Skip with someone else.

BS

It wouldn't be right if this whole Love saga didn't have one last (likely) baseless, stupid rumor to take everyone up to the actual trade being announced.

Lets people engage in dumb speculation and fake rumors about how the Wolves probably want Bledsoe instead of Wiggins or something... then the Wiggins for Love trade will be announced tomorrow and this craziness can all finally end.

Flip will not back out from this deal, doing so would put him in the blacklist of several co-gm's and agents that no one will deal with them next time.

Just had a good laugh at the Suns offer

So is this deal done at 12 Eastern?

Piston fan here, I hope you guys get more for Love. The Cavs are robbing you guys by just offering Wiggins and Bennett. You all should have Waiters, Bennett, Wiggins, and an unprotected 1st rounder. Make the Cavs pay if they want Love!!

So, I picture all Wolves fans are together somewhere, watching a giant ball drop like new year's eve?

I like how they would supposedly not only be getting Wiggins but also LaVine or Waiters. So basically they would be getting more value for Bledsoe than the Wolves for Love. :roll:

I can't believe we survived this whole saga since the season was over. And what a long last month it's been.
