Did the NBA playoffs start yet? Who is the favourite going into the playoffs right now?
Not my team. When is the next LeBron getting drafted?
looks like Cleveland is trading for Kevin Love
Bennett, Waiters, 2 1sts and a bad contract coming back (possibly K Martin)
As a Wolves fan: gross.
It better be Wiggins coming back.
Oh, you're losing good players? Tough crap. We have 2 players signed for next season.

Link to this? I thought I heard Bennett, Waiters and 1 1st on TSN last night.

no link, was informed by an AIH guy that also writes for the Cavs SB Nation blog that has sources within management
anyone have a link to LeBron's letter in SI?
Agreed as a Wolves fan I would not be happy with that at all. I would absolutely want Wiggins as a return (I wouldn't have been mad if they had picked up K.Thompson from the Warriors either).
From a perspective of assets, it's not going to get much better IMO. If Love starts the season as a T-Wolf, they are basically assured that they will get nothing for him, maybe a draft pick in a sign-and-trade.
The Wolves are going to be pretty far from a playoff team even with Love. You get a guy like Waiters who is still all potential with just a little bit of polish, maybe he turns into a top 20 player, he's already proven that he can score at a ridiculous rate. Worst case scenario he's a guy that can stretch the floor who is a decent trade chip. Same goes for Bennett.
If I'm the Cavs, I'm keeping Waiters to anchor my second unit and trying to sell Minnesota on Tristan Thompson, the guy who can't decide which hand to shoot with, but can't get his shots over any half-decent rim protector either way.
