Rubio for AA (+ fillers and pick as well)

Also would you deal Love for let's say Wigging or Jabari Parker (and some asset) ?

Love is gone for sure, so why not get something for him ?

Rubio is good, fun... but has his flaws and he hates being in Minnesota ... he will also go 1st chance he get's to leave (especially if team is not title contender).

This crap again?

Starting of the day reading something completely ridiculous is always fun.

@C.lupus, Mattya, Klomp are you ganging up on me ? :lol:

Ok, I will admit that I'm wrong if they stay. No problem. :wink:

But if they leave I hope for few apology's. :wink:

Its the parts where you say they don't want to be here. Sure they could leave, thats always a possibility, but to say that both hate it here without any evidence will get the crazy comment label.

How do you know for sure that Love is gone for sure? What proof do you have? No one knows what he is thinking before Love himself. Can we please stop with the whole Love is for sure gone, it is getting old fast.

Another thing, how do you know that Rubio hates it here in MN? I have never read anywhere that he has said that he hates it here in Minnesota. Why would he even leave?

There are places were they would rather be. You can say it like that. I'm sure they love ton of stuff in Minnesota.

The first one is a lot closer than the second, but it still needs more.

No one knows for sure if Kevin will resign here when/if that time comes. True, there is little direct reference to him saying this and saying "he wants to leave for sure" BUT let's really think about it, do you really think he wants to be here? The rate at which these stories arise is enough to make me believe there is truth to his desire to be out.

I am now in the boat that I want to trade him. Find the best package available regardless of what Kevin wants. If we can get our hands on at least one proven player (Ideally defensive big), a couple upside young'ins (ideally wings), and picks, just do it.

Let's just accept the inevitable and move forward with Ricky, Pek, and the package we get from trading Kevin. If this upsets Adelman, well too bad, the two of them haven't been able to get it done yet so what are we waiting for.

As history has shown, when Kevin Love has been a member of the Timberwolves, we have not had a season with a win percentage above 40%. I can hear the arguments already, "well who does he have with him" and "well he can't do it all on his own." Agreed, but we aren't talking winning a championship, the guy has not helped deliver a season with even a winning record. I am sick of it somehow always being "Minnesota's fault." Superstars lead in stats and wins. That is how we judge the real greats. Kevin Love is an absolute bust when it comes to being a "winner" so far in the NBA.

This Kevin Love drama and mediocre play has gotten real boring. Blow it up!

Denver is kind of unlucky with that Knicks pick, since in the East you can go from a potential high end pick to late teens pick with a 3 game win streak nowadays.

No, you can't say that. Why? Because you have NO idea. You're pulling that our of your a**.

How do you know for sure that Love is gone for sure? What proof do you have?

I don't know, like nobody know until something happen. But you can say that about ANYTHING.

But there is so many double meaning statements.

“I have a very, very good memory, and I always remember the people who have done right by me, and the people who have done wrong by me,” Love said. “It will be embedded in my brain, and something I won’t forget about. There’s no telling what will happen. I would love to compete for a championship in Minnesota, but …”

"My patience is not high,"

No one knows what he is thinking before Love himself.

What kind of statement is that ? :lol:

Isn't that obvious ? :roll:

Can we please stop with the whole Love is for sure gone, it is getting old fast.

Most people think he is going to leave ? What is wrong with people talking about that ? :roll:

If people can comment about Lebron hairline for a 100 time why they can't talk about Love, or anybody else for that matter ? :roll:

Another thing, how do you know that Rubio hates it here in MN? I have never read anywhere that he has said that he hates it here in Minnesota. Why would he even leave?

Ok, he will probably never say it directly "I hate it here".

What about a trade with Boston.

They got young players and a bunch of draft picks.

What if you are? See, you're assuming all of this. They say all the time how much they love this state.

"Hey Wolves, everyone knows that Love is just going to sign with the Lakers anyway, so you might as well trade him now, and it might as well be to my team. Even though he still has a year and a half on his contract, we're only going to give you pennies on the dollar, though, since everyone knows he's going to sign with the Lakers."

Yep. And I like how the next sentence is completely ignored...

"They should trade him," one Eastern Conference executive said. "No one thinks he's staying. Everyone knows he wants to go to the Lakers."

But not all executives agree, and while none would wish Saunders' dilemma on his worst enemy, there's another situation that bears comparison to Love's. That would be the one involving LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers.
