Hmm.  I'm not sure it does Golden State any good to be leaking this.  If it's coming from Minny, are they trying to pressure Cleveland or Boston?

With Cleveland saying they wouldn't trade Wiggins, and Boston adding $10 million in salary that might not help them so much this year, my money is on Cleveland being the pressured party.

[Waew]

This is all false feeds from Minnesota trying to get the cavs to include Wiggins. Nothing to see here.

o boy, here we go again

If the Warriors include Klay, would it make sense for them to ask for Shabazz too?

Cleveland.

I think Minnesota knows what it can get from Boston, unless they're trying to improve what picks Boston was offering. I think Minnesota will use Boston as their scenario of last resort at the deadline.

At this point, they may have to include a draft pick to get anyone to take Shabazz.

Here's the problem with that scenario, if it's at the trade deadline, I'm not sure Boston does the trade without a firm commitment from Love to stick around.

They might gamble on having a full season to seduce him to stay, but that late into the season? I'm not sure Ainge would give too much value for him.

He's also talked about how much he wants a stretch four for his offense, and said that Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes have work to do to become that player.

Yeah, I don't think Minni gets as much from any team at the deadline as they would during the summer. Unless Love opted his extra year, I don't think DA pulls that trigger at deadline. Too short of a time to convince Love to stay, and the best chance is to get him here early and get the team rolling and making the playoffs. Who knows were the C's will be in Jan.

It's still early, and until Cleveland tells them they wont talk to them because they wont budge on Wiggins, and the same with GSW and Thompson, DA will just have to wait. I figure mid August?

Man, I wonder if we can talk Flip into Green, and move who ever is left of KO,Sully, or Bass for Barnes.

I wish some thing would get done so all these "I wonder" and "what ifs" would calm down.
