Leaked Love Trade Details

[BoutPractice]

If true it is a good deal for Minnesota considering the circumstances...

But for those who would make fun of Cleveland over "what they lost", the big picture of this trade for the NBA is simple:

- prior to this trade, Cleveland was a future contender. After this trade, Cleveland is a win-now contender, with enough firepower for a Finals run as early as next year, and the potential new big dynasty.

- prior to this trade, Minnesota was mediocre and headed nowhere. After this trade, Minnesota will be awful and possibly still headed nowhere, but for the first time in years, will also have a decent shot at becoming relevant again.

I don't get it.

Usually, in a "3-team deal" each team gives up an asset(s) and receives an asset(s) in return.

Minnesota fans think Philly is giving up their best player and literally receiving nothing in return? Wtf am I missing here? Someone explain.

So both teams

...still waiting to hear what Philly gets out of this.

I'm confused. Why is Philly doing this? Do they want do tank forever?

This can't be real

I guess the idea is that the Sixers save money, since Shved + LRMAM makes less than Young, and they both only have one year left on their contract. Also Philly would get a 1st round pick from the Cavs.

I still think it would make more sense if Bennett goes to the Sixers, but I guess crazier things have happened.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Philly couldn't get something better for Young than a presumably late 1st and two expirers?

I thought this was reported a few weeks back
