WOJ: Cleveland has agreement to acquire Kevin Love

[Obstructed_View]

I can't think of another team that has gotten so little out of so many high picks.

I don't think there can be a "firm agreement" that Love has to opt out and re-sign. There certainly can't be anything binding. That would be VERY against the CBA.

Yep. Minny knows all about how the league views those types of agreements. There's little question in my mind that Stern would block this just as he blocked the KG Clippers trade.

The league may tell the Cavs and Love that he has to extend or they won't allow the deal. That would be hilarious for many reasons.

Wolves doing okay. Otherwise Big Kev walks next season free to play with Uncle Drew and Le Brian.

[Arcadian]

This Cavs team will get way better than the last seasons' Heat. Waaaaay better.

Not in their first year. That Heat team had chemistry and experience playing together. Look at the 2011 Heat - they had an arguably better big 3 at the time, but still lost the Finals due to lack of chemistry. This year, the Cavs have no chance of beating the Spurs in a series.

Silver...

Silver...

Yeah. It's going to be interesting.

[bluebellmaniac]

Yeah. It's going to be interesting.

Yes, it will be interesting. Does Silver let this arrangement slide in the hope that the league's star is helped in getting to the finals? Can he even act based on Woj's reporting? He would need facts, I would think, and no one is going to go on record.
