Danny is not going to give up that many assets for a potential 1 year rental.

This has been the vibe I've gotten from all the naysaying and rumors of "better offers" TWolves management has been putting out.  They're claiming there are better offers because they desperately want to up Love's price, either from others or by getting us to bid against ourselves.  Problem is most smaller market teams aren't biting because they know Love won't stay, and a lot of the bigger teams are rebuilding or facing luxury tax issues.

I'm really hoping if we get Love that we're able to hang on to the #17, we could get a nice young piece at that spot, maybe another scoring wing that we desperately need.   Doesn't look like it'll happen, though.

Is there any doubt that Flip is actually the "source close to Flip?" They're trying to drive up the price. It's not difficult to establish what the Cs can offer for players, but all they need to do is get reporters to up the Cs inclusion of 1st rounders and maybe the Wolves can get some of those on the table from the other suitors.

I don't think he's saying that he'll give up ALL of that (hope not). I think he's just using it as an example of what all Danny can offer.

I also think Love has been put on the back burner for some teams because they're trying to see what Lebron and Co. are going to do.

By all reports everyone is still low-balling, and will probably continue to due so until the draft is very close at hand.

The list of everything the C's "could" offer is consistently put out there with what "has" been offered. Jackie Mac has said that all-in sort of offer hasn't been made. It'd be interesting to know just how far Danny is willing to push.

Well if he cant offer most if not all it doesnt end up becoming the best offer.

The prospects at 6 and 17 I think have done enough at the workouts to entice ainge to not trade them. If this was the 2012 or 2013 draft, ainge likely does this trade without a thought

BS plus rondo and love is a bad mix.  BS is better suited for a full rebuild moving fwd imo

Yes and no. I think until the Miami opt outs are decided some teams aren't making any moves. But the teams in the Love hunt really aren't involved in the LeBron situation.

It's up within the last hour.  I suspect 6+17 + BKN 2016.

And it's very unlikely that it's a 1 year rental.  Too much money would be lost by Love.

Why?

According to a rival GM, the Minnesota Timberwolves are ready to trade Kevin Love by draft night.

I think Chicago is the only team that comes to mind that was reportedly backing off from Love to see what the Heat do.
