Suns willing to trade Bledsoe, dragic, and assortment of picks for love

[IknoBall12Participant]

 But realistically I don’t think the suns will trade both PGs. Doesn’t make sense . I can def see Bledsoe and kieff Morris going along with draft picks tho

 Maybe they are angling for Ricky Rubio in the deal as well. I wouldn’t understand the reasoning behind it because they’ll end up being nothing more than the Phoenix Timberwolves but who knows. Stranger things have happened e.g. Gary Payton to Milwaukee.

according to hoopshype, the Cavs looked into a trade for Kevin Love evolving around the #1 overall pick. It was said that Kevin Love made it clear he wouldnt resign in Cleveland. But the rumor is that Dan Gilbert said he doesnt care, and might make the trade anyways if Miami loses the finals, because its the only way to get Lebron back in Cleveland.

Kevin Love and #13 FOR #1 pick, Anderson Varejao, Alonzo Gee, and Scotty Hopson.

Minnesota gets the #1 overall pick and 3 players they can cut emediately due to their non guaranteed contracts. So Minnesota gets the best player in the draft and 15 million worth on instant salary cap relief, no other team can make a trade package as good as that.

Lebron will come back to Cleveland to pair with KyrieIrving and Kevin Love, and instantly be the best team in the East and the favorites to win the championship over the next 5 years.

So Gilbert and his Cavs rents Kevin Love for a year and gives up Joel Embid – possibly the best center go come along in a decade… SMH, you know I really think it’s possible as the Cavs gave up a number 1 pick via Sacramento to Chicago for Luol Deng.  Cleveland has made it pretty clear they have no interest in resigning him (why did they trade for him then?)..  It’s easy to see why Lebron left and likely will never return unless Gilbert’s gone.  Look for the Cavs to screw up picking number 1 somehow.

[cleveland31Participant]

its not rocket science. NBA teams dont win with young players. THhy win with established veterans.

The Cavs only shot at winning a title is to get Lebron James back. Lebron will not come back to play with a 20 year old that will take 3-5 years to develope. He wants established all stars on his team that know what they arew doing.

Minnesota gives up K Love and the 13th pick for the 1st pick? Get real.  Cavs will also have to include waiters.  Not that garbage you included. And other picks.  Total Homer trade.

 Yea this pretty moot. Bledsoe wanting a max contract though is a stretch man. Minnesota also has a PG in Rubio who they are not ready to give up on and i wouldn’t. The problem with Minnesota is that Pekovic and Love play heavy minutes and they aren’t rim protectors. If they found a way to get rid of Pek and keep Love whilst starting Dieng i think that would make a big difference. We’ll see what happens though

 This honestly sounds made up or something Minnesota tried to leake to rise price on Love as teams bid to trade for him

 I think what they meant is Phx is dangling either or in a trade, I doubt both pgs. Also, rfa that Bledsoe is, cannot be signed and traded (when Phx matches whatever offer) unless he’s trade to the team he initially signed an offer with. So if Minnesota agreed to a deal involving Bledsoe, dude has a lot of power this Summer. Phx will have to match Bledsoe to hopefully a lower deal, then trade him later in the season for Love, or give then Dragic, which I’m sure Phx will prefer.

 

With that said, I doubt Minnesota wanted either pg, but wants assets. They may need to involve another team that is willing to give up something of value for Dragic, which would go to Minnesota, ie Dragic plus a player to Sacramento for #8 pick.

….OR, they are looking to make Ricky Rubio, a free agent to be, expendable. Considering Rubio’s glaring flaws and inconsistency, I wouldn’t be surprised if Minnesota looks to dump him on someome else looking to make the mistake of overpaying him.

I don’t disagree there. Dude is still young, and hopefully can learn to shoot, but with his pending free agency coming up, he may get more than he deserves.

All offense. No defense. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
