I think the belief that we are still in the driver's seat for Love is still correct. David Lee is 31 which poisons the GSW offer. Taj Gibson is 28 and is signed thru 2017. Jimmy Butler shot 39% last year and 28% from three. Chicago's picks are also mediocre (16 and 19). Not a great deal. I guess Houston could offer Lin and Asik with both contracts expiring at the end of next year and Parsons in a sign and trade ( I assume that would be legal but someone can correct me if I'm wrong). Houston picks 25th this year and future picks will be just as bad. Better deal than the other two but not great. If the Wolves must finish in the top 12 of next year's lottery to retain the pick, then a deal with the Celtics makes even more sense. Bring in a bunch of young players (Sullinger, Olynick, picks 6,13,17 in a talent rich draft, expiring and nonguaranteed contracts) and finish deep in the lottery for a good pick next year too. This would be the logical way for the Wolves to move forward. The only problem I see is now that Saunders is the coach, he just might get stubborn, and when you get stubborn you usually make poor decisions that are not in your best interest. Let's hope that he"s realistic about his situation.
