Terrible time to trade him. His value would be down at the moment with the injuries.
They control him for a few seasons. Wait until he is hot again if the team really wants to trade him.
Don't agree. Teams know exactly who Love is. While his injury doesn't help, the only thing that will dramatically reduce his trade value is time -- the longer the Wolves wait, the less leverage they have.
Are there any examples where a team waited to trade a disgruntled superstar heading towards early termination or end of their contract, and actually got better value for waiting?
I can't think of a single case...
Fafnir -- agree. Absurd. And now every NBA employee knows he's counting the seconds until his departure... including his teammates.
