Woj: Cavs have agreed to trade Wiggins, Bennett, 1st to Wolves for Kevin Love

[Mexi]

Also, what is Minnesota doing? Thaddeus Young? Really? For what?

hes good, what do you want?

 

[elcheato]

They're not going to make the playoffs, what exactly is the point?

 

[Mexi]

He wants to be competitive

Thads still young too

 

[elcheato]

He can also become a free agent next year. Just makes no sense to me

 

[Mexi]

Flip likes him i guess

What is Cleveland doing, man? I get the allure of LeBron-Love-Kyrie, but Bennett and Wiggins both have boatloads of potential. This seems like the Cavs are in a hurry to try to fit pieces from different puzzles together.

 

[Rios15]

Like the situation for Wiggins... and Minnesota could use a new franchise player that'll actually want to play there at least in the short term... who knows?

I'm just really concerned if the Cavs main plan is to hope Shawn Marion takes the $1M minimum to be the only defensive wing on the team.

LeBron isn't going to be at his best player in the world peak for forever. Not as if Kevin Love is some grizzled vet, only 25.

It's a concern, but the offensive output is going to be, uh, something else to behold. Going to have 5 starters who are really good passers for their position (Kyrie, Dion, LeBron, Love, Varejao). Assuming everyone buy in to what Blatt sells, the amount of ball movement and open looks created are going to be insane.
 
Goes without saying, but that transition game with Kevin Love throwing his John Elway precision-like outlets to Kyrie & LeBron.

I suppose it's official.
 

 
 
Cleveland is making the deal with Minnesota with a firm agreement Love will opt out of his contract in 2015 and re-sign with the Cavaliers on a five-year, $120 million-plus contract extension, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Woj

'The Minnesota Timberwolves have reached an agreement in principle to send All-Star forward Kevin Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a protected 2015 first-round draft pick'


It's basically official now

So much for leverage

 

[Hurricane Season]

Crazy to think that the last two #1 overall draft picks are getting traded.

Fuck this tho
 
Big three finally break up, and a new big three materializes in the same fucking division as the Bulls.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't think this "big three" is nearly as formidable as Miami's big three. They won't have the domination on the league that Miami did.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Btw this trade currently as constructed is illegal. Cleveland has to little going out and to much going in.
