As much as I want Love, it seems highly unlikely, the warriors are front runners at this point, and I personally think it will be Love to GS or he stays in Minny for one more season. The celtics have bigger needs at C and a scorer at the guard position. At PF we have: Bass, Olynyk, Sullinger. Hopefully we can add Moser to the PF and re-sign Humphries. I would love to get Love but I think it's 99% unlikely this year.
I'm not sure GSW's are front runners right now. I would think the deal would be done by now since there isn't a lot of things they could do. Thompson is the deal breaker. Half the suits don't want to part with him, and neither does Curry. If they sell Curry on it, then the deal gets easier, but if they don't and they pull the trigger anyways, either curry plays like crap because he's ticked off, or he's gone as soon as he can.
And Thompson doesn't want to sign an extension with Minni, so that's not a good deal for the TWolves. But if LA gets both Melo and Lebron I could see them panic and pull the trigger, but it's not a good move. Lebron would be playing PF and that would mean Love would have to guard him, and no way that's going to happen.
Cleveland is the darkhorse that scares me. If they can get Lebron to commit, they'll throw Wiggins at Minni, and they will take him as soon as some one says "Cleveland is on the pho..."
Huston, maybe, but they'll have an easier time landing Bosh. Would be better for them, plays better D and they need that to make up for Harden. And they are better off with a cheap SF in Parsons, then to try to find an other SF that plays like he does for the MLE.
I can see DA waiting in the shadows, waiting for all the other teams to fall one by one. I think thats his game plan. Go in, in the beginning low, and see what other teams do.
With Minni expressing interest in Humps, and AB's contract that is 2 mill higher than last summers offer. I could see this being Minni's last resort deal.
I mean you could do... AB,Humps,Green,Sully/KO, filler, and the Clips 2015, and the Nets 2018 and bring in Love and Martin or a combo of other players to make it work. And still have 5 picks to either use for a trade or draft. And you could keep Smart see if he can play the SG, or keep incase Rondo bolts, and Young for a nice young core. I do have a feeling Smart would have to go, but maybe we take back a Robinson, or Lavine. They don't need all those guards.
