expect to trade Love by Aug 23 or 24th

[djohn2oo8]

The Minnesota Timberwolves expect to trade Kevin Love by Aug. 23 or Aug. 24.

"I'm saying it's most likely because Kevin has made it pretty clear that that's what he wants to do," Wolves owner Glen Taylor said.


Taylor still prefers for the Timberwolves to keep Love. The August date is when Andrew Wiggins can officially be traded.


The Cleveland Cavaliers remain the strong bet for Love, but the Timberwolves are also listening to offers from the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors. The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to be part of any three-team deal involving Love.


"I think when you move somebody like Kevin, who's been an all-star, that you've got to get a number of players on your team that have the potential of replacing him," Taylor said. "Flip (Saunders, Wolves president) has looked at this team and offensively, he's got a pretty good team. Defensively, it's got to be better, so I think that's where some of the areas will be replaced."

Expect Rocket fans to stand behind the bricker Harden and show their lack of intelligence,,,,

Feels inevitable at this point, but idk if that's because the media has just been shoving it down our throats for so long.

IMO you don't let Lebron dictate what players you get. We all know that's what he's doing here... He's gonna have such a long window as an elite player you let your young talent age and then have Dan Gilbert go into the luxury to keep em.

This Kevin Love thing is the most boring story of the summer. He's not going to do a fucking thing to help another team, except serve as a traffic cone and stat pad rebounds.

[smaka]

He hasn't even played in playoffs. Lol stat padder.

I'll believe it when tspense tweets it.

Had Love on my fantasy team last season (and the year before) and when watching him play, I loved his stat padding behaviors: fighting teammates hard for rebounds, talking to refs in situations when he got the call but statwise it could have worked out better(e.g. he got fouled while fighting for rebounding posession, but would have gotten the rebound anyway), not going for the hand in the face of a shooter while already positioning for the rebound, barking at teammates whenever he didn't get the ball...and so on. I loved him for fantasy purposes.

I'm not saying he is a bad player, but the only way, he can be a top2 player on a championship team is with a Curry/Bron/Rose-type ballhandler/star and a great defense around that. Works with the Bulls (Noah, Butler, Thips), doesn't happen with the Cavs (Sideshows health?, Irvin's D, no rim protector), may happen with Dubs (Bogut, Iguodala).

But thats just short term anyway.

Gotta love how people keep making the supporting cast excuse.... you're telling me Rubio, Pekovic, Dieng, etc. isn't enough for an 8th seed at very least?

You would think k. Love was LeBron the way the media hypes him up. He's not a bad player, but he's not a great player, let alone franchise player.

You don't need a franchise player. Just a homosexual like Duncan, and a fatso like Diaw to carry his gayness to it.

The Cavs winning depends on how much the NBA helps them. Other than that, this is a horrid trade. :)

How so?,,,,Cavs give up prospects that may amount to shit(Bennett well on his way) for a top 10 player in the league.

It's easy talking about it, look how everybody talked about it the first 72 hours after the Finals. Completely different actually executing it. Within a week everybody went back to the tried & true. So much easier.

I don't do hearsay; it's my religion. Meanwhile, your franchise icon has the SIDA and passed the gay gene to his kid, and what did Fredo do? He went and built a statue to commemorate it. You could have built the statue for Kareem, or maybe for Shaq. But instead Fredo built one that tells kids to put down that basketball and go pick up a dick instead. Jesus Christ cubby, this country is going to hell and your boy is leading the charge.
