Give them Irving, not Wiggins.

Irving is gonna be better than anyone else they could get their hands on.

.....I was taking a shot at Wiggins.....he may be an outstanding young man with a pedigree background better than the Manning boys! But if the Cavs want to win now then Love is the best option even if it cost them Wiggins. Wiggins is an unproven NBA commodity.....Love is already on the books as an NBA all-star who can shoot very well in the big leagues!
 
Love is throwing tantrums in the last seasons....he should be more focused to bring the Wolves back to the playoffs.

Love can score...but for me he is overrated.

If the Cavs are willing to give Wiggins,Bennett and some picks for Love....the Wolves make a big deal!

Love can score from inside and out, is an elite rebounder, can pass and is the best outlet passer in the game...but for me he is overrated.

Who could Love even guard in the Miami/Spurs final?

Maybe Udonis Haslem?

It would seem that he has the physical tools of a boris diaw.
Maybe love needs proper coaching and system along with motivation (playing for a championship) to improve his defense
 
Love brings so many things to the table, his defensive deficiencies can be tolerated in a good defensive system with good defensive players. He's not a definite impediment to win a championship. Especially with Lebron.

He has definitely more chances than Harden, at least.
 
Maybe the situation is a whole lot different:
Minny uses the Dubs to create leverage against Cleveland.
Cleveland is still unwilling to include Wiggins because they think Waiters+Bennett+(Thompson)+future 1st(s) is a better exchange than anyone of the group that Love considers to resign with can offer.

Now it's a stalemate.
 
I'd play hardball with Minnesota. They don't have any great offers out there competing. GS probably isn't going to give up Thompson. Why should Cleveland give up Wiggins?

I'm not so sure it's a great move for Cleveland anyways. I know Wiggins is a way away from championship level competing, but that's if he is a main piece, which he isn't, and doesn't have to be right now. But that also don't mean he can't help. He also is a lot cheaper than Love. If I'm a GM, I'd value rookie deals highly. Lebron already found out that a big 3 all maxed out is hard to win with. You need help.

I think if I'm Cleveland, I'm looking for more help through cheaper trades where I don't have to give up so much. Even with Love you still need a rim protector. Just because Love is brought over, it doesn't mean it's a lock to win the championship. It's still a flawed team, and now you are back to the same situation where you are not flexible enough to add help.

People are also forgetting about Anthony Bennett. The guy is going to be good. I'm tell you, he is. He can also spread the floor. He has a really nice shot. He will help that team. Minnesota should really consider him as an alternative, and not just balk at that trade. If I'm Cleveland I'm not sending anything more than Bennett and a pick, and would hold firm on that because I'd like my chances with Bennett. What if Bennett turns out really good? Then maybe in a year he has even more trade value. Sell high.

Also, if I'm Cleveland, I'm not worried about Lebron leaving. No way Lebron leaves now. If he did, his image would take a huge hit. Worse than before. He is in Cleveland for life. I guarantee it. I'd tell Lebron to be patient. Because in a year from now, your assets will be worth even more. Cleveland should be in zero hurry to make a deal for Love. I'd only take a good deal. I wouldn't over pay.

The guys they should be focusing on trading are Thompson and Waiters. Mainly because they will be requiring pay days soon and they won't be worth it. Get something now for them if you can. Preferably a decent rim protector. Maybe Indiana would part with Hibbert. Buy low.

Hell... Go get Ryan Anderson for Dion Waiters and Thompson. Ryan Anderson = poor man's Kevin Love.
 
Another thing came to my mind. Kyrie Irving was voted as a starter on the 2013 all star game.

If the Cavs think there's no other competitor for Love's service and the Wolves are happy to pick up the convo again when the all star ballot closes if they don't score a miracle internal improvement that they think might cause Love to stay, then lowballing offer might have the side effect that Irving misses out on the Derrick Rose provision.

I don't think LeBron fans would vote Kyrie if the team starts real slow, collect a lot of losses and Kyrie doesn't look awesome.

There's Rose(if healthy), Wall, Rondo, Wade(am I really saying that?), Lowry(Canada will vote for him), Deron(If quadruple ankle surgery does wonder) and last but not least LANCE who'll have his eyes on a starting spot. I almost forgot Bradley Beal. A lot of competitors...

Anyone who thinks the Cavs should not trade Wiggins for Love is either out of their mind, or they don't really know how good Kevin Love is. He averaged 26 and 12.5 last year. That's more points than James Harden and more rebounds than Dwight Howard. He is arguably a top 5 player in the league. After Lebron and Durant, he's in the conversation. The only arguments I hear about him not being a top 5 player are that he's a poor defender and that his teams don't win.

The Wolves are my #2 team, and I watched 60+ of their games last year. Love is not a bad defender, he's just not a rim protector. He plays solid positional defense. The fact that his team has never made the playoffs is more to do with bad roster construction, mostly bad coaching, and poor management. In addition, playing in one of the toughest and deepest conferences in NBA history doesn't help. They would have been between the 3-5 seed in the East.

Even if Wiggins ends up being as good as Love (which I doubt), his prime won't overlap very will with LeBron's. Kevin Love is currently 25 years old. He's just starting his prime years. He's also a perfect complement to a guy like Lebron. He's a unique player that will both space the floor and bang in the middle for rebounds. They will immediately become the favorites in the East with a punchers chance to beat whatever team comes out of the West.

There is virtually no argument here, which is why Cleveland came off their position so quickly and are now offering Wiggins + more for Love.

with bron, Love & Kyrie will be 19/10 guy at best.
 
Wow, I'm surprised to see how underrated Kevin Love is. Unbelievable!

JK, not surprised one bit. I know where I am. Love JazzFanz. I mean, love JazzFanz, not Love.
