Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Beasley and Swaggy P on the same team? Please let this happen.

Add JaVale McGee and this could slowly become the most entertaining team in the League.

Story going online now with @WindhorstESPN: ESPN sources say Kevin Love trade to Cleveland increasingly looking like "when" not "if" deal

Probably bad for my dream of keeping Wiggins as well. Wolves would talk to other teams if they didnt really like the Cavs offer.

And my Wiggins jersey came in the mail today too lol

If he gets traded and turns out great that'll actually be a good thing IMO. To have a rare jersey that was never worn.

If they give up Wiggins AND a first my mind will officially be blown.. However it would definitely be the Cleveland thing to do.. Smh

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

I really doubt all this speculation would be picking up at this rate with 24 days to go before they can trade wiggins.

Yeah, I havent even taken it out of the package. If he gets traded I might just put it somewhere safe for thirty years and hope he turns into a HOFer.

I agree. If they do include Wiggins though they better get Gorgui Dieng and keep Waiters. In that scenario I would be fine with parting with a few first rounders. However, I still say that Waiters, Bennett (or Tristan), and three first rounders should be fair.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

I'm thinking Bennett + Waiters + 1st.

So Stein & Windhorst are just blowing smoke up our *** right now?

Unless I'm somehow misreading your post.

Too bad for Wiggins if true, went from possibly playing alongside LBJ and being mentored to being a TWolve.

Oh, so no possible scenario with Wiggins in the mix, or just your personal take?

I agree with the sentiment that it's a pretty odd time for things to pick up considering Wiggins can't be dealt for a month.

Sorry I didn't write my thoughts correctly. I meant I doubt wiggins is involved in the trade given all the speculation and Bennett being pulled by his agent today, and the timetable before wiggins can be traded

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

If the Cavs manage to land Love without giving up Wiggins, that would be an absolute steal because those future picks are pretty much irrelevant when you have LeBron.
If I was Minnesota, I would make sure that I get Wiggins in return. Plain and simple.

Just deal Bennett,Wiggins,Thompson all to Minnesota and let them walk from Minnesota the first chance they get lol

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Waiters, Bennett, 1st isn't bad, I actually think it's about even.. Waiters, Bennet, and 3 FIRSTS!? There's no way I would do that, Minny can just keep Love and let him walk for nothing if that's the case.

There aren't many players who are worth 5 first round picks, 2 of which were top 5 picks with loads of potential left, one who's shown he's probably capable of scoring 20+ per game if given a primary role or even starters minutes last two years...

I've already had essay long posts about this topic so I won't fully delve into it again. But when given equal minutes as Klay Thompson Waiter's number line actually trumps his. Not only this past season but even his rookie season compared to Klay last year. The same Klay that many of you feel just earned himself a max contract.. Waiters arguably could even have more potential as a primary scorer. He's a year younger, he handles the ball better, can pass the ball better (though he's often shoot first mindset), creates his own shots better, gets to the hole better, and gets himself to the free throw line twice as much.

I'm not saying you don't trade Waiters for Love, because I think it's pretty obvious that you should. Especially when you have Kyrie, Wiggins, LeBron. But don't be throwing in MULTIPLE future firsts.. Especially since Minny is really in no position to demand anything, he's about to leave them for nothing and the longer they wait the worse the offers get.
