Shame on you 'locals' trying to run someone off. His points are as valid as yours... for they are all speculative.
BTW... I could see Barnes, Lee, and a pick as being a better offer than what we have. Remember, if the wolves trade Love this season, they are almost certain to retain their own lotto pick this yr. If we trade for Love this season, it would be almost certain that 'their' pick would not be part of the package... so we are talking about Washington's pick as being the best one of the bunch for this yr. LA's next yr pick is probably our most valuable one, in the eyes of Minnesota.
Also, if we trade the Mo Bros (or Len) and Oka4, we likely will have to take some salary back as the wolves are very close to the lux tax. I would think it might be an opportunity for them to sluff off some salary, though who, I am unsure. Kevin Martin ? Chase Bud? Corey Brewer ? They inked 3 or 4 guys to some 3-4 yr deals. May be Turiaff ? and we toss in Len ?
I really don't see much of a deal/chance here. If I was running the Wolves' show, I'd wait it out, even if Love was crying to leave, he can't walk till the summer of 2015.... They'll have plenty of opportunities to deal him up till the deadline next yr. A lot can happen between now and then.
If Minnesota lays an egg this yr, they keep their pick... and could still trade Love. If he is dangled to the top pickers, somebody is going to take notice.... Suppose Denver offered the 6th pick (knicks) + a player or two for KLove ? That would easily trump whatever we could offer now, and likely then. Something like that could easily happen.
If I am Minny, I am in no hurry what so ever. And if I am Phnx... I realize we have no shot at trading for Love this off season, without gutting this team. A bucket of mid to late picks just doesn't hold water.
If we are going to get some Love this yr.... I think its going to have to be a three-way
