Love to Cavs

[BrianTirae]

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, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The deal cannot be finalized until Aug. 23, because Wiggins, the No. 1 overall pick, cannot be traded until one month following the signing of his rookie contract.

I hope Cavs win jack shit these ass holes are making a championship push in the first year lol.

I don't think it was a great move. Andrew Wiggins could be the next LeBron James in like 4-5 years. I feel like they gave up too much to get Kevin Love.

I agree. The bench is probably going just be 3-point specialists.

Was a smart move though. They got LJ so they need to push for a championship NOW versus 4-5 years from now when wiggins will (probably) begin to play above average and LJ is (probably) no longer in his prime. I'm also sure LJ said something about bringing K Love to the scene when he joined the cavs

Spurs still better

This was a horrible deal for the Cavs... it could go good like everyone expects or it could go just totally wrong.

Looks like Wiggins is going to get his dream and come home to Toronto when his rookie contract is over.

I'm mainly interested to see Kevin Love's stats on a contender. There's no doubt he's a great player, but let's see just how much of those gaudy stats are a result of him having been on a completely hapless team. I'd be absolutely shocked if he managed the same output.

 

Good deal. I don't know about you guys, but I was underwhelmed by Andrew Wiggins in Kansas and the SL. Considering all the hype surrounding him, and all that I've seen from him, he didn't look that great. Then again, I may be wrong, and he may turn out to be a great player down the line. But, I'm wary of his ability to contribute right now, and that's what the Cavaliers need. LeBron James is nearing 30, and they need to win now rather than later. Also, it's good that the Cavaliers have a long-term commitment from Kevin Love, so when LeBron is done, they have another superstar to take the wheel.

Aside from Andrew Wiggings, they gave away Anthony Bennett and a protected 2015 first-round draft pick. Anthony Bennett had a very underwhelming rookie year, and will probably never become the player first picks are meant to be. A protected first-round draft pick is great for the Cavaliers; if it is high enough, it is theirs, but if it is not, it goes to the Timberwolves. The Cavaliers traded smart and they got a top ten player in result.

I'm predicting the Cavaliers will have the first seed in the Eastern Conference. They have a great team topped with Kyrie, LeBron, and Kevin. While their bench maybe lacking a little, it's not that of a stretch to say LeBron could be going to his fifth straight final. I don't know if he'll win it however, because the Spurs are just straight up filthy.

I agree 110 percent with everything you said. Eastern Conference is wide open, the only team I could maybe see challenging the Cavs is Chicago. They will need D-Rose to be completely healthy though the entire season, a tall task.

LOOL I guarantee Cavs will not go to the East finals they will lose in the 2nd round 100%.

Toronto vs Chicago East finals trust...

Before the Rudy Gay trade Toronto was 6/12 after 42/22

If they started with this squad from the begging they would have had 50+ win season and since they re-singed almost everyone and added defensive wing James Johnson I don't see Toronto finishing anywhere but 1st or 2nd in the East.

This is Miami's first year all over again. 0% chemistry (minus the bench players like Jones and Miller). They're going to be all over the place. I feel bad for Wiggins, he had was the first draft pick and all the media goes after LBJ going back to Cleveland, then LBJ basically ditches him and picks K. Love.

He should be happy. He was gonna come off the bench for a very long time and get limited play.
