    Good question. Maybe because they didn't initiate the conversation? Which makes Love (If this is all true) a bonafide a-hole.

    So let's say Love wants to be traded to Boston at the draft, how would it be done? Boston doesn't have pieces so they'd have to get a 3rd team involved quickly.

    Maybe something like this?

    Boston receives: Kevin Love and Luigi Datome

    Minnesota receives: Greg Monroe, Chauncey Billups, Jared Sullinger and the 6th pick

    Detroit receives: Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, 2015 top 14 protected pick and the Clippers 1st round pick.

    This why Allen passed on him two years ago. And went with the experienced guys. He's not in step with policies and procedures.

    ESPN has learned that Knicks president Phil Jackson has been fined $25,000 for tampering with Oklahoma City Thunder guard Derek Fisher

    I have a feeling is gonna screw the Knicks up even worse than they are. Too big of an ego.

    As his 'head coach' lol.

    All these things coming up are red flags and are why It would make sense that Paul Allen wouldn't be interested.

    That would be an awful trade for Minny, and they could do better. Monroe would be a terrible fit next to Pekovic, Billups is beyond done, and while I like Sullinger he and the 7th pick are nowhere near good enough to make up for Love (not to mention Sullinger's injury red flags). In all honesty Detroit would make out like bandits in that trade scenario too.

    Wait, hold up. First Kevin Garnett abandons Timberwolves for Boston, now Kevin Love wants to abandon the Timberwolves for Boston? Does it get better?

    Billups is just a cap filler and a player-coach. Idk I just think Monroe, Sullinger and a Marcus Smart/Zach Lavine is a fair deal for Love if he wants out now (to a team he would re-sign with).

    The Lakers currently suck and will probably suck for at least a couple more seasons so yes it does get better.

    I think that's best-case for the Wolves, considering that the entire league knows the Wolves have no leverage.

    Kelly Olynyk, #6, and #17 might do it.

    Besides Phil Jackson, that's what's keeping Larry Brown and George Karl out of the league. Carping, making waves with the GM, and going against the grain.

    Looks like Houston declined Chandler Parsons' team option. Looks like they'll play for a big target like Melo. Would we be interested in Parsons? Would he come off of the bench?

    I'd take Parsons off the bench, for sure.
