The Wolves went 40-42 last year, traded Love for future Superstar and present day great player Wiggins and basically stayed put otherwise. This year they are 16-58! That is all Love.
The Cavs struggled at the beginning of the season, then found out how to use Love and all of a sudden have won like 85% of their games.
The idea he is just a bad team / good stats guy is totally overblown. The Wolves are TERRIBLE and nobody else should be touching the ball. The West is so stacked that it takes more than one great player to make the playoffs. He averaged 26 / 10 / 2 last year and he can shoot the 3, thus clearing the paint for our wings. He would be huge. If we got him and Kawhi, we'd be in contention for taking the East even with LeBron.
