I speak for all Wolves fans when I say this..."TOLD YOU SO!!"

Love's departure leaves us with a nice solid rebuild going forward.


Rubio / Mo Williams / [COLOR="Red"]Barea[/COLOR]

Wiggins / Muhammad / [COLOR="Red"]Budinger[/COLOR] / Mbah a Moute
Young / Bennet
Pekovic / Dieng / [COLOR="Red"]Turiaf[/COLOR]

red: probably getting traded to Philly for Young

We gon' be paying nothing to these young impact players, what a turn-around! This looks a lot like Phoenixes quick rebuild last season.

Much better team than we ever were with Love.

Thank you Based Flip Saunders.

Lavine needs to start immediately. Him and Wiggins are your cornerstones of the future.

The issue is dumping Martin's contract and if Flip is serious about wanting to 'win now' (he's dumb enough so I think he's being serious). Can see nobody taking Martin's contract and we let him get majority of the minutes at the 2 next season.

Getting Wiggins is one of the greatest returns ever for a player who is 100% leaving. He still has to pan out of course but getting him plus another player in Bennett with potential, some 1sts.....its a best case scenario for Minny.


Phx nor Minny will make the playoffs this year. Phx i think takes a tiny step back possibly because they no longer can sneak up on anyone. Minny just doesn't quite have enough in the stacked WC.

team will be better than it was with Love, immediately.

Rubio is legit

It's also the best case scenario for Cleveland. A lot of people don't understand this but the Cavs are in a position to WIN NOW and they NEED Kevin Love.

They cannot wait for him to be a free agent to straight up just sign him, they need to trade for him either now or in a sign and trade in a year.

Could be a rare case where both teams win.

Could be a rare case where both teams win.

Wiggins is still a big IF, he could turn out to be a bust.


And the Nuggets trade for Carmelo was definitely a case where both teams won. ... well the Knicks finally won a playoff game in 14 years with Melo and the Nuggets steady made playoff runs.

Rubio is legit

He made a solid improvement last season. Just hope he takes the jump to being a star next season.

Would be hilarious if Wolves had a 2013-14 Phoenix-esque season while the Cavs are playing underwhelming basketball (losing games in 4th quarters).

Don't underestimate the impact of Wiggins' defense.

Rubio
Lavine (provided Martin is traded)
Wiggins
Young (provided Martin is traded)
Pekovic

that starting 5 is playoff bound

Love's gonna put the league on blast for underrating him for so long but I would love it if the Cavs missed the playoffs somehow.

[no pun intended]

You told us so a lot. Sorry for disagreeing with you all these days.

It's nice but nowhere near what Phoenix did last year. It'll be a few years before Minnesota even contends for 8th in the west.

But damn a lot of cav fans may end up looking really bad in a few weeks.

Cavs won't miss the Playoffs (only if Lebron gets injured), but they could play worse than expected because Irving and Love are medicore to bad defensive players, Lebron's declined on D and who is their defensive anchor? Varejao? He's not going to be an amazing rim protector either.

They will have issues on the defensive end all season while I expect the Wolves to play some great defense.
