The Kevin your Love, your Love, your Love is my drug thread

I am a Timberwolves fan wondering if the rumor that the two sides have talked in the last few hours is true? Are you guys hearing anything?

Of course we've talked to the TWolves. The Cavs likely have multiple deals on the table with different teams but have everything on hold until they figure out whats going on with a certain free agent.

Sucks that free agency is after the draft, honestly I think it should be before, that way teams can draft based on who they just signed.

I'd be pretty annoyed if we trade this pick for anyone. If Lebron comes and we trade it for Love then ok but i mean that's never happening.

If Utah pays a king's ransom, the Cavs should net Favors out of that deal, and send the rest of the package to Minny. Favors/Love/FA/Waiters(or Burks)/Irving. Even if the Cavs didn't land LBJ, so long as they got a good SF in FA, that is a solid team that is going to make noise in the playoffs.

I'd guess Love probably wouldn't resign without LBJ though..

Let's say it's Favors/Love/Ariza/Waiters/Irving. How far does that team get in the East? ECF? The finals?

If love extends I'm down but that's where I have doubts

All of this " what if, maybe then" crap is getting old. My god, we had a 1.7% chance of getting the top pick, why look a gift horse (fate) in the mouth? Take Wiggins or even Parker and don't look back.
Build the team with the players we have and keep the pick, use it on a guy who is expected to be a franchise type of player for the next 6 or 7 years and if some FA wants to come here after we keep the pick so be it.

I find the timing of certain events interesting:

1. Savannas tweet
2. Parker not wanting to play in Cle (Agent is Rich Paul)
3. LeBron opting out a week before he has to - before the draft

Any deal that has Waiters going out is hard to swallow. Any deal that has Martin coming back is just a bridge too far for me. There is no way that Minny parts with Love without getting at least the No. 4 and I don't see the Wolves taking TT and Bennett. I could live with the Cavs replacing Waiters with the No. 12.

Prediction

Cavs overpay for the Love rental
Cavs offer a max deal for Carmelo
Cavs offer a 2nd max deal for Ladouchebag

Ladouchebag says no to Gilbert and sends us all back to the Stone Age
Melo laughs
And Love leaves next year

OK by me, I just didn't see any way he would want to extend for the Cavs. Just as well, would have been incredibly stupid to move the #1 in this draft for a rental.

Ya gotta feel for Minn fans. Their rebuild will be much more difficult and two years behind.

Personally, I'll be happy to watch Wiggins from the club seats...

Talks still ongoing between Cavs, wolves and also Warriors and wolves.
