Marc Stein: ESPN sources say Golden State has indeed made Klay Thompson available to Wolves, greatly increasingly Warriors' hopes of getting Kevin Love Twitter @ESPNSteinLine - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.QT7t0ZMH.dpuf

Sources: in addition to Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried, Denver offering Minnesota a player they would acquire (Arron Afflalo) for Love.
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

"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......"

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
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

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

CJ?
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

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
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

Interesting since it was reported locally a week ago that Thompson is staying with the Warriors.
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

the basic idea that i read in the espn article is lee and klay for love and martin
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

This is bad news for us.
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

Honestly, who cares where Kevin Love ends up? Is he really going to make a difference?
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

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

i feel like minnesota gets better with that trade

and that leaves gs with

steph
iggy
barnes
love
bogut?
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

If it's accurate,I like the Celtic offer the best for Love. #6, #12?, Sullinger and something else for him

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.
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

Nice first post, welcome!

Bogut us a FA but if they can re-sign him that team could be a handful

Bogut signed an extension last offseason. Hes under contract for 3 more years.

And the Warriors would probably use the $8 million TPE they got in the Iguodala trade to try to pick up a defensive wing to start and bring KMart off the bench. Targets could be Afflalo, Gerald Henderson, Thad Young, etc. They've been linked to Afflalo a little bit, their GM is from UCLA and seems to be rumored for UCLA guys quite a bit.

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

I think they are both good. Like we have discussed in the past, guards and wings are more dominant when it comes to scoring late in games, and therefore seem like more of a difference makers, but bigs like Love and LA are highly skilled for their position and are needed on the floor.

I think once Love gets on a team with another all-star, and the right coach, he will be a very important piece to a playoff team. His stats will go down but the wins will go up. Right now he is still a Prima Donna, and rubs some players and fans the wrong way, but I would prefer he not go to GS.

But at the same time Clay Thompson would be a big loss. Kind of like when they traded Mitch Richmond for Billy Owens. Run TMC was hard to stop and they screwed that up. Would breaking up the Splash Brothers be a mistake too?
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

After saying it would not happen local media is now saying it will and the general opinion is it helps Minny more than GSW. Reportedly Mychal Thompson is furious, well, not reportedly, he said so himself.

I will always be a Mychal fan, but he can piss me off. Some of trade scenarios in the past for the Lakers have been on the arrogant side. He thinks the elite players in the NBA should be given to the Lakers. And now he wants Love playing with his son and Curry. Well Mychal you kind of have to give up something to get him. I am sure he would prefer it to be Lee and Barnes that are sent packing. That would be an ideal scenario......for GS. Damn the Warriors have a lot of extra assets they can move in trades. (Throw in Iggy too as an option)
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

I don't like this as I think GS gets better. Was hoping Love was going to end up on the celtics in the east
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

I think even with Martin and Love we're better. A lot of their guys are injuries waiting to happen.

Doesnt mean anything but still and interesting tweet:

Strip away markets and ask yourself: Why wouldn't Aldridge-Lillard-Batum core be supremely attractive partnership for max free-agent star?

Because the Blazers don't have max free-agent cap space, and it's about the money.
 
Re: NBA trade rumors

To Philly:
#7
Steve Nash

To L.A.:
MCW
Thad Young

This is beyond one-sided for the Lakers.

Wtf.

Is it?

Philly stays well under the cap, and adds Exum and Randle to Noel, plus the 10th pick. That is an intriguing team. MCW is just not that good. Thad Young does nothing for that team. If Cleveland isn't sold on Wiggins or Parker, Philly could use 7 and 10 to maybe move up to get Wiggins and have he, Exum and Noel
