To be honest, though, I doubt Minnesota wants waiters.

Trade him all they want. That doesn't effect his contract and he wants to play with LeBron.

I'm 100% sure Cleveland isn't the only team he'd sign an extension with. Minn wont have any problem finding a team to trade for him. Like I said, they can wait until the all star game if need be. Its up to other teams to impress them with offers.

Boston is the other team trying to get him. He's not signing an extension there.

The problem is that Love will still only be under contract to that team for ONE YEAR. Without a guarantee he will sign an extension, no one will give up the farm for Love. If Cleveland signs Lebron, Minnesota can trade Love wherever they want. He'll just leave that team next year and go play with Lebron.

So... once again... Minnesota does not hold all the cards.

Lol yeah that's what I heard when I said Cleveland was gettin LeBron back. Seems 100x more likely now than you thought then huh? It's so funny I always get all this crap for saying stuff, and months later I'm always right. But no one wants to give credit where credit is due. Just continue listening to what the media tells you.

How is this impossible for you to understand? No one is trading for Love unless they are absolutely sure they can get him signed to an extension. The only way for Cleveland to be sure of that is to sign Lebron.

If they sign Lebron before getting Love, then they don't need to trade for him. He will sign next offseason.

I know you're a Minnesota homer, but surely you have to be able to see this SOMEWHAT objectively? Like... I can accept that Wiggins will probably be dealt for Love. It makes me sad, but it's a likely scenario.

I'm simply saying the Cavs shouldn't budge on that and if I were in charge, we wouldn't.

Where did you hear that?

Quote:

Love is under contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves for another season, so he's not a free agent, but when the bruising All-Star was spotted lounging in the Fenway stands, hangin' with Rajon Rondo and sipping Sam Adams, it led to wildly hopeful speculation that Love would not only welcome a trade to the Boston Celtics, he would be willing to sign an extension that would enable him to roam the parquet alongside Rondo for years to come, the way Kevin Garnett once did.

In fact, team and league sources confirm, that's a scenario that Love is willing to consider.

They don't understand common sense.

Interesting. But isn't Rondo someone they've been trying to trade? Who are they giving up to get Love then?

Well considering Wiggins had already been linked to the deal, it seems you are talking out of your ass.

Wait, so you think Boston is the only other team wanting to trade for Kevin Love?
