As a Wolves fan, this makes me incredibly happy. Cleveland has an embarrassment of riches which to offer for Kevin Love. By far more than any other team. This trade means Love will be willing to sign an extension if he is traded there, which puts them back on the table.

Wiggins + others to Wolves!

The writing was on the wall. Can't just return the same Big 3 and expect to win. Carmelo decided not to join LeBron; Bosh prepped a backup deal with HOU; Love said he would agree to a trade to CLE if LeBron came back; Wade is slowing down.

LeBron can also salvage his reputation in CLE; can claim MIA was like going to college out-of-state, and now he's coming back.

Lastly, it would be nice to see how LeBron plays with an All-Star PG like Irving, a combo he's never had. Maybe Bynum and Oden will come back for pennies. Sounds fun to watch.

Now maybe that MIN demand of GSW's Klay Thompson and change for Kevin Love won't seem as ridiculous to GSW anymore... Idea

The rats are jumping from the ship in Miami. Well maybe I will start to watch the NBA again.

The last thing you want to do to any team now is let Andrew Bynum within a 100 miles of it. That guy is a POS who should be embarrassed to call himself a basketball player.

Yeah, unless Flip messes this up he should be able to turn this into either Wiggins or Thompson. Should be able to play teams off each other to get what he wants. Yes, everyone knows that the Wolves have to trade him or lose him, but with multiple teams in the mix, the Wolves should still be negotiating from a position of power.

No reason for them to settle.

...and Bosh re-upped with MIA for 5 yrs/$118m. I really thought he'd run off to Houston. I guess Pat Riley had to fill up that cap space somehow.
