    "So presumably, the Nuggets would send No. 11 (which they're pretty well known to be looking to trade) for Afflalo, then send those three players to Minnesota for Kevin Love......"

    http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...ng-chandler-faried-afflalo-via-trade-for-love

    If that falls through, which it will, I wonder if Denver would trade the #11 to us if they want to get rid of it as this guy suggests.
    And for what? Maybe the #11 from two years ago? Wishful thinking

    I love that no matter what they do the Wolves will still suck.

    Oh, I know. I was just questioning whether CJ could be a fair offer.

    If they're going after Love, are they letting Lee go?

    Good question. Does Minnesota want Lee's 15 million for two more years? Lee and Clay for Love? I would take that if I was Minny

    Interesting since it was reported locally a week ago that Thompson is staying with the Warriors.

    Honestly, who cares where Kevin Love ends up? Is he really going to make a difference?

    I hope my dude Olynyk doesn't go to Minnesota. That place is the sewer of the NBA.

    Exactly. Love hasn't shown he can be a difference maker thus far in his career.

    I would say probably :
    Steph
    Martin
    Iggy
    Love
    Bogut.
    I think martin and love's shooting will space the floor for iggy to slash and bogut to get offensive boards.

    Would you make the same statement about Aldridge. You certainly could
