You think they can just refuse all offers in perpetuity, because no one will offer what he's worth. Guess what? He's only worth what they are offering.

Because you're not trading for Kevin Love. You're trading for Kevin Love's CONTRACT. And that's only one season long. His CONTRACT is not worth Andrew Wiggins' contract. Period.

Especially when Brendan Haywood's contract next year isn't guaranteed, when Verejao only has one year left on his deal, when you can wait until the trade deadline and move Bennet or Waiters or Thompson and create more room, and suddenly... you have more than enough space to sign Kevin Love without giving the Timberwolves or their delusional fanbase your future star.

OR, they hold on to him through next near and let him walk. I would prefer that to taking on David Lee's contract. And for whom am I showing homerism? I like Cleveland. I like Minnesota. I like OKC and the list goes on. I'm just saying what I would or would not do if I was in Minnesota's position. Of course, they don't much care what I think.
