I disagree!  Not only is it not worth it to trade up but the salary implications are catastrophic.  Add to the fact that he is a net negative makes it a really bad decision.  This is something those organizations like "Minnesota" would do.

Normally I agree with you but I really don’t see this one so I’m going to respectfully disagree....I’m trying to see your point but I can’t .

getting pick 5 with love and keeping 8 to go along with Trae, Collins, Huerter....seems like a jackpot to me especially when you consider only loves contract being the only one on the expensive side after next season.

dont understand how it’s Minnesota like when it’s clear we actually develop the players we draft under the schlenk era but I’m leaving it alone

I am telling you guys Love would be solid here. I am only concerned about his injuries from last year.. It's a big concern tho

Possibly but the deal isn’t really about love it’s about getting the 5th pick and hopefully keeping the 8th pick shall terms are agreed upon to take love .

love is a throw away for Cleveland who could be an added bonus for Atlanta around Trae

Paul saying some other stuff, Givony saying something different. Without my guy even replying, I am going to assume this is just trade fluff chatter. 

He would have hit me up or even texted back if this was real. 

[Peoriabird]

Can we get this doggone draft over with already.  The Ricky Williams trade scenarios are starting to get old.  I already have a strong dislike for the national media and its only getting stronger.  Too bad we don't have strong local coverage of the team to counter the fear stoking going on.  Oh well

Kevin Love signed an extension for 4 years 120 million. I don't know if that's been brought up, but if anyone here would pay Love 30M a year in FA right now then you are crazy.

[NBASupes]

This is silly season, sometimes a team can call a team and put the value to sky high levels to get more value. 

Paul saying Pels working a deal to get Morant. Not saying he or Givony is wrong but most of these deals probably aren't happening. They sound too aloof

If this is the case it's probably the hitch in the whole deal

If anything we need assets coming back to take on all that bad money/

For those wondering what everyone was waiting on to start trading, this is it... https://hoopshype.com/rumor/1265252/  with Whiteside opting in and Horford opting out, teams now know what they can do....starting with Miami.

What do you mean by "if"

It means I was not aware of the extension guy.. Anything else?

This is a deep but top end weak draft. Rumors coming out of the ass to steam up hype and interest. If we still following their sources, Trae is a Knick right now 

[Spud2nique]

Please no. I don’t wanna give 8 and 10 for 4.

So you were clamoring for the guy without knowing the cost?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Knicks will work out Garland.  If they take Garland at 3, Barrett all of a sudden becomes available at 4. I think TS wants Barrett.

Kevin Love sucks. It’s over for K Love imo. His career ended a couple years ago when Lebron treated him like a whipping boy and he took it. Granted they did win the ring but still.

It’s not about love it’s about placing a 5th and 8th pick with Trae and Collins.

if I got to take on loves contract to get two guys I want in the top 10 I’m doing it.

if schlenk thinks it’s worth it I’m fine with it.

[Spud2nique]

And essentially RJ was the #1 prospect coming out last year.

I hope this is just draft misdirection genius on the part of Schlenk in an attempt to devalue his real choices
