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

He was linked by a Cleveland radio DJ. If ****ing Kevin Keitzman said Eric Berry was gonna be traded... you listening to that?

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

:facepalm: I've already acknowledged the contract issue.

But as of now, Minnesota CAN hold Love for as long as it takes to get a good offer. They aren't in any rush to find one because until the All Star break, they dont NEED to do anything. Teams aren't going to stop calling for him. And I bet there is more than one team that he would be willing to sign an extension with. Minnesota holds more cards than Cleveland right now.

Rondo is in a similar situation to Love, in that his deal is coming up. The thought is that the Celtics are trying to pair Rondo and Love (or find another top player off the radar). If that fails, the thought is that they'll look to move Rondo and get something for him rather than losing him for nothing.

They've got a boatload of 1st round picks, as well as their young players.

Every team wants to sign LeBron too, that doesn't mean they can.

Thanks for the insider tip.

So you think Love, the guy who has been asking to be traded for the past year is only interested in one team?

Seriously?

Not exactly. But that doesn't mean the teams he wants to go to can trade/sign him. Most of the teams who could give up the most are more than likely teams he doesn't want to sign with.

Minnesota was ready to pull the trigger on the Love trade for a package that included the first overall pick(Which turned out to be Wiggins) this year. Why does anyone think they'd ask for LESS than that now?

yeah, Lebron probably wants to wait a year.

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.

Weren't you arguing that Royce White was worth more than a gallon of piss last offseason? You can never be right/wrong at your pathetic level of homerism.

Yes, you are always right. ISU football says hi.

No... they can hold him for one season. You're just refusing to see it clearly.

I'm 100% certain he is.

See how easy (and stupid) that is?

And yet, strangely... Cleveland wasn't. Airtight logic there, pal.

:spock: What? Why would they hold him for one season? They're almost assuredly going to trade him. And since they don't have to trade him until next January or February, they can afford to wait until they get a good offer.

Hell, holding him for a season puts even more cards in Minnesota's hand. Cleveland wants Love now. LeBron wants Love now.

So I'm not quite sure how you think Cleveland has any advantage right now.
