Alright kids, I have zero idea how to do one of these things, but they look pretty fancy and official. You're probably thinking, "Bell wrote a fanpost? I bet it's super negative, super sucky, and full of grammatical errors. Also, I hate that guy." Well, you nailed it my friends. This is going to be a train wreck, but just can't look away now.
, according my sources, plays good basketball. Sure he has his shortcomings, but no one (I hope) is arguing that he wouldn't make this team a sure fire top title contender. I would welcome the imminent Kevin Love addition, but my issue isn't, necessarily, giving up Wiggins for him. If we land Love, I'm still going to be pretty damn happy. Wiggins for Love, in a vacuum, is a good deal for both sides. MIN gets a potential superstar, CLE gets a superstar. Wiggins for Love, <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com/goedkoop-louis-vuitton-alma-12>Louis Vuitton Alma Tassen</a> not in a vacuum, is still a great sports move. "Well then Mr. Negative, what's the issue?" I'm glad you asked, planted question guy. With the last two superstar trades of Dwight and Melo, at the time, it looked like ORL/DEN received scraps. Sure they got nice pieces and picks, but it wasn't even close to fair value. It wasn't fair value, because the only leverage ORL/DEN had were where they could send that player. Their superstar was leaving, and every NBA team knew it. No team was going to give a fair deal for a player that could be had in free agency.
What's the difference with Love? Love has said he would resign with CLE. GS refuses to give up Klay Thompson. BOS hasn't even been mentioned. CHI reportedly, then unreported, gave a decent offer. It is/was a four team race, and CLE is ahead by a mile. Unless GS changes it's stance, and I don't see that changing, they're hanging way back. BOS loaded with picks and young talent (pun intended) is still at the starting gate making kissy eyes at Sam Hinkie. CHI is still laps behind CLE, it's bum knees are forcing them to pace themselves. I've heard the argument that CLE has to give up Wiggins to keep CHI from getting them, well that seems silly. Unless CHI hears from Love that he's willing to resign there, I can't imagine CHI giving up Dougie, Mirotic, and Taj for a shot that Love resigns. We can also discuss Reinsdorf historically frugal tenancies, perhaps he doesn't want to pay Love, Rose, and Noah all at the same time in the future. That's enough for me to roll the dice and play hardball with MIN. Love has stated he wants to come to CLE and resign. What more do you need to hear? Why would you give up Wiggins (along with other valuable assets) to a team that really has no leverage. Again, I understand MIN can technically send Love anywhere, but <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com/goedkoop-louis-vuitton-speedy-17>Louis Vuitton tassen Speedy</a> what team is going risk assets to get a guy they aren't completely sure will resign with them? That's the leverage MIN has, they CAN send Love anywhere. The problem is, it takes two to bump-and-grind (this is a young man's game. The tango is for the wine drinkers, sorry Zavac) and teams, you'd think, would be <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com/goedkoop-louis-vuitton-portemonn-16>Louis Vuitton Portemonn</a> cautious to give up a lot without that guarantee. As far as I see things, that doesn't give MIN too much leverage. If they want to hold on to Love, seems like a poor idea but Flip is a walking poor idea, Kevin leaves and welcomes free agency.
I'm aware that CLE won't technically have room for Love to sign as a free agent, but I'm sure they could figure out a way to make it happen (I'll be honest, I don't really know how the cap stuff works so if it's not possible just go to the comments and tell me to "jog on"). The other issue with free agency is that perhaps Love wants to go to the /Golden State/? etc., but I'm willing to roll the dice on that. Normally, I'm the "free agents don't want to come to CLE unless you overpay" guy, but with Love already saying he'd resign, I have no problem with the FA gamble.
"So, what do you mean Wiggins for Love is 'bad business'?" Again, excellent question. As I've pounding into the ground above, I don't believe MIN has the leverage to demand Wiggins. I'm not giving up a potential superstar to a team that, unless they're willing to lose him for nothing, won't have their superstar past 6 more months. MIN is the guy walking into the pawn shop with stolen goods. They're taking $50 for that $300 watch, or they aren't getting jack.
It's not a bad deal, it's just bad business.
