who says no in this trade?

twolves trade: love, rubio
twolves get: kyrie, thompson, varejao

cavs trade: kyrie, thompson, varejao
cavs get: conley, love

grizz trade: conley
grizz get: rubio, zeller

obvious answer is the grizz say no, but hang on... grizz follow that trade by signing pao gasol in free agency and they start rubio, pao and marc next year. i have been dying to see the spanish guys end up on the same team. rubio, lee, free agent shooter, pao, marc; allen 6th man

wolves get a legit superstar (in name) for love, although not sure if kyrie would have any interest in staying in minnesota long-term. kyrie, martin, brewer, thompson, pekovic

cavs get a vet point guard to help lead that team, instead empty stats kyrie. deng decides to hang around with love and conley. conley, waiters, deng, love, hawes?

what can i say, im bored.

if i was the cavs, i'd be doing back flips to get conley and kevin love for kyrie and thompson... assuming i had some indication love would stick around.

but more than anything, i just want to see rubio, and the gasol brothers on the same team.

The Cavs are getting away with robbery there.

Memphis is getting destroyed, even if they sign Pau.

Why in the world would the Cavs say no?

The Cavs wouldn't do it because they're not trading Kyrie for anything short of Lebron or KD. They think he's a top 10 elite player in this league. I wasn't saying it on the premise as in that they shouldn't but instead on the basis that they wouldn't.

Irving is going to jettison them in a year or two anyway. I feel bad for Cavs fans

I don't think Kyrie has much of a choice but to extend with the Cavs for another 3-4 years unless his agent want to take the risk of signing a qualifying offer for a year.

Minnesota and Memphis easily say no. The Lakers will probably give Minny a king's ransom for Love.

10/10 because it probably means we traded Hendo and Neal and that lineup is $WAGGED out or whatever the hipper hoppers are saying these days. We'd need the fat dude from Rucker Park to walk around the court with a microphone with this lineup.

how many bastard children do you think this lineup could produce?

on a scale from 1 to Shawn Kemp, I think I will go with Karl Malone.

A solid Dwight Howard. At the very least, this team would have to have Stephen Jackson as an assistant coach.

Gerald Henderson, Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo for Love.

I'm not a Love fan. He doesn't even try to play defense.

That's why it wouldn't work too well if you send Biz out. A big reason why Minny can't get over the hump is b/c they have Euro Big Al alongside Love and no rim protection. Plus they already have Dieng so they don't need Biz either.

what do the lakers have to offer other than the 2014 1st round pick? wouldnt you rather have kyrie and thompson than the #6 pick (assuming the lakers dont move up, which they probably will)?

Phone rings what do you do?

Pistons pick conveys to Hornets @9

Magic offer Afflalo + 12 for Henderson + 9 + 24

We could roll with possibly

Kemba/Mo Williams
Afflalo/Neal/Young
MKG/Young/Taylor
Monroe/Zeller
Jefferson/Biyombo

I think I would accept that trade if I was Charlotte, but McDermott wouldn't be my ideal prospect at 12th overall. I would take Zach LaVine or James Young. I typically would take Young over LaVine as the safer pick, but with Afflalo on board, the Hornets would be able to afford a year of grooming the rookie behind the veteran instead of throwing him in the fire, which would be great for a developing player like LaVine

I ask them to take Gary Neal for a 2nd rounder and do it.
