    But sources say that the Cavs and Wolves, knowing that league officials are monitoring this transaction closely, have been careful not to make any public acknowledgments that trade details have already been agreed to. That’s because Wiggins remains ineligible to move moved until 30 days pass from the signing his rookie contract.

    The Cavs were granted permission last month by Minnesota to speak to Love and his representatives in an introductory fashion, sources say, while James and Love have also been in direct contact about their long-term intentions of playing together in recent weeks. But sources insist that no agreement for Love to sign an extension in Cleveland next summer when he can become a free agent is in place.

    Under NBA rules, such an agreement would be illegal and, if proven, potentially could be grounds for the league to block this trade and dole out punishment to both teams. The Wolves were infamously sanctioned heavily in 2000 after it was discovered that the club had promised a lucrative future contract — in writing — to Joe Smith, incurring a fine of $3.5 million and the loss of four first-round picks as well as suspensions for owner Glen Taylor and then-GM Kevin McHale.
    yeah im thinking no way the league would dare with lebron

    They should make it so that rookies can't be traded. You draft him, you should keep him for 12 months.

    That would help Cleveland in the long run, they will win more les if it is vetoed. If they get Love, they have a 4 year window instead of a 7-8 year window after Wiggins develops

    Love has proven he can pad some nice stats while not making the playoffs, playing defense or making his teammates better....

    i still like bosh. quite underrated defensively, and his offensive regression imo is more due to the dynamic in Miami where they wanted the ball (rightfully) in lebron's hand most of the time, he prefers the paint, and Wade can't space the floor. bosh was basically the perfect big for their system, flawed as it was. not many bigs can step out and nail jumpers efficiently while also being valuable defensively.

    i think this year Bosh will have a renaissance offensive season

    a team built around a jump-shooting big is not something i'm particularly fond of... its tough to make it work. but on cleveland Love would just a be a piece, not the centerpiece they are trying to build around. still, they'll be almost completely dependent on Varejao's health, which is terrifying

    Yeah because it never worked out for the Spurs with a jump shooting big whose signature move was a bank shot off the glass,,,,

    I agree. Duncan usually goes to the rim.
