OP Retraction, Bad Sources: Love+GR3 to Cavs for Waiters, Wiggins and Thompson

[Meticode]

Multiple non high profile Twitter sources are calming this trade is going through and will officially be announced tomorrow.

If it's true, I don't like gutting out SG spot like that.

[Inferno]

Hmmm....

What's the Cavs depth chart?

[KyrieTheFuture]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[no pun intended]

Wolves struck gold.

[Olacinco]

Lol good looks doe

[Meticode]

Cavaliers are looking to sign Ramon Sessions for the vet min. as well.

[Meticode]

It's being reported the Cavaliers wanted Brewer as well, but they couldn't make the cap work with the trade with the Wolves and settled on GRIII.

[EllisGW]

cavs gave up too much

[Levity]

I dont know if the contracts would have worked, but kevin martin to the Cavs may have been a decent return, as well.

Would it thoo?!?!?!?

[DMAVS41]

This can't be real

[navy]

Not a good trade.

[Collie]

Lol, who's gonna be the SG? Della-what's his name? Mike Miller? Maybe they resign Lebron's stepdad? :oldlol:

[Akrazotile]

Its happening!!!

[Milbuck]

:biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

Don't **** around Meticode








What the **** Cavs

Damn.
LeBron doin work.

Cleveland becomes the favorite for the title with Love.

[no pun intended]

Rubio/Lavine/Barea/Shved
Waiters/Martin/Muhammed
Wiggins/Budinger/Brewer
Thompson
Pekovic/Dieng/Turiaf

Holy shit.

It guts our SG spot if it goes through.

Varejao
Love/Bennett
LeBron
Miller?
Irving/Delly

[moe94]

Wolves my new team on 2k.

[Cocaine80s]

Wow, Lavine will lead his team to the playoffs this year :applause: :applause:

[russwest0]

lol so this is what LeBron as a GM looks like

GG Cavs, LeBron came back just to troll :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Levity]

lebron gonna try get get allen to sign now?

[Milbuck]

No ****ing way. If that's the trade, holy shit.


Everyone keep RBA in your thoughts..

[hawkfan]

It guts our SG spot if it goes through.

Varejao
Love/Bennett
LeBron
Miller?
Irving/Delly

Sign Mo Williams, then the backcourt is Irving and the rest by committee - Williams/Miller/Allen/Jones.

I don't know off-hand which shooting guards are free agents. Salmons signed with New Orleans. Jefferson is in Dallas.

[Cocaine80s]

Wiggins + Thompson should have been enough for Love tho :whatever:

[andremiller07]

Rubio/Lavine/Barea/Shved
Waiters/Martin/Muhammed
Wiggins/Budinger/Brewer
Thompson
Pekovic/Dieng/Turiaf

Holy shit.
Dieng>>>Thompson, play Dieng next to Pek cause of his shot blocking

[plowking]

Cavs finally get Lebron back and they already manage to f*ck up. SMH...

Seriously? You take away every other decent wing defender that can run out and finish on the break with Bron? Give the team a chance to play together... FFS. Ruined some great potential viewing for NBA fans.

[sbw19]

LeGM striking again.

[Inferno]

Wolves will be stacked though

[Meticode]

Guess I'll have to see how it goes. I would preferred keeping all three of those players versus what we got back.

[Fudge]

False alarm. Trade didn't go down...yet.


Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO 2m
Nothing new happening on Cavs-TWolves front. Andrew Wiggins, it seems, remains a point of contention.

[robert de niro]

hope it's true :lebronamazed:

[fpliii]

Can't imagine it's true. If so, Cavs got fleeced.

[Meticode]

False alarm. Trade didn't go down...yet.
Sam Amico is a poor source. He's wrong more than half the time.

[hawkfan]

I don't know what trade exceptions or other exceptions the Cavs have, but Shelvin Mack is still available.

The Hawks have right to match, but if the offer is too high, then they won't.

He'd be a nice pickup for the Cavs. He can run the point or play 2, good defender, muscular for a guard, good quickness.

[Rubio2Gasol]

If.Love and Lebron jump after 2 years :lol

[Droid101]

If Kobe remains injured, Love is my favorite player. What the **** am I supposed to do if he joins lefraud? :cry:

[04mzwach]

Wiggins + Thompson should have been enough for Love tho :whatever:
Gotta be kidding me...people been downplaying Love's trade value across ISH

[Cocaine80s]

If Kobe remains injured, Love is my favorite player. What the **** am I supposed to do if he joins lefraud? :cry:
so you stopped liking Kobe because hes injured? :oldlol:

[iTare]

wow, i wanted to see wiggins with bran :facepalm

[DMAVS41]

Again
This isn't real
No way the Cavs are this stupid

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Sam Amico @SamAmicoFSO

[Meticode]

Gotta be kidding me...people been downplaying Love's trade value across ISH
I agree, I just think they gave up the wrong players if this is the way the trade is going down. Two wings with that much potential is too much.

[Collie]

Waiters AND Wiggins though? Damn Flip fleeced Cleveland for a player who was gonna leave anyway. Shit, they might even have done it even if Love wasn't leaving.

[Cocaine80s]

Gotta be kidding me...people been downplaying Love's trade value across ISH
#1 pick + young big man that averages 12/9 for a (possible) one year rental aint enough?

[RedBlackAttack]

Sam Amico is a poor source. He's wrong more than half the time.
Amico is an infinitely better source than the one which sparked this OP. He may be a hack, but at least he has some access. The guy who is saying this is a done deal also said Gasol to the Spurs was finalized. He's basically trolling.

[Milbuck]

Again
This isn't real
No way the Cavs are this stupid
They're not..refuse to believe this is legit until an official report comes out

[SwishSquared]

I saw this on twitter, but one person claimed it originated from a troll account. No high profile reporters have said anything about this. I just know if Cavs give up both Waiters & Wiggins they have to get back Dieng. Anybody know if GR3 can play de facto SG if this is the actual deal?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

BTW OP, who is reporting this?

[chazzy]

Multiple non high profile Twitter sources
Not thread worthy.. cmon now

[Meticode]

Do you have a link to that source saying that? About Gasol I mean.

[RedBlackAttack]

Not thread worthy..
Not remotely thread worthy. The "insider" who first "broke" this news has 20 followers. :oldlol:

[Rubio2Gasol]

Minnesota needs to make another trade too. They have five or six guys teams could use who they could probably turn into picks.

I think you can give Ricky the extension, but put team option on 3rd year. He will be good for these guys development, but you want to be in a position to shed that salary when it comes time to compete, if necessary.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I just can't see the Cavs trading BOTH of their young wings for love...

[LongLiveTheKing]

No one is saying anything on twitter

[hawkfan]

I agree, I just think they gave up the wrong players if this is the way the trade is going down. Two wings with that much potential is too much.

Clears out minutes for Miller and Allen.

And clears out locker room problems - Waiters and Wiggins not getting enough minutes and shots.

But if Bennett is still there, then maybe LeBron moves to shooting guard sometimes.

AV
Love
Bennett
LBJ
Irving

[JohnFreeman]

Terrible for the Cavs.

[Meticode]

Not remotely thread worthy. The "insider" who first "broke" this news has 20 followers. :oldlol:
Just so you know, he broke other signings and trades hours before they happened or got announced.

[bdreason]

Damn.
LeBron doin work.

Cleveland becomes the favorite for the title with Love.


A guy who doesn't play defense and has never even played a single playoff game in his career makes the Cavs favorites? :confusedshrug:

[BlazerRed]

Surely this isn't ****ing real.. if so :roll:

Maybe they wanted to get rid of Waiters because of his attitude issues? Not buying it's real though, yet.

[04mzwach]

Probably fake...Wolves aren't this lucky anyway.

[DMAVS41]

The cava would have to get back Dieng and the Wolves unprotected first rounder this year as well for this to begin to make sense

[Milbuck]

Seriously, Minny would be stacked as hell and set for the future..still not buying this though.

[Meticode]

RedBlackAttack,

You're welcome to delete the thread if you feel it doesn't hold water. I hope it's wrong frankly and not true. I wouldn't want to do that trade.

[04mzwach]

This would be the Wolves getting equal or more trade value which doesn't happen to us Wolves fans anyway. :cry:

[GimmeThat]

I'd be surprised if Blatt is that upset though.

I am certainly impressed about the fact that teams are working over time into the early hours in order to get trades done.

[ronnymac]

Rubio
Waiters
Wiggin
Thompson
Petkovich

That is a pretty solid team to allow a few years grow together.

[RedBlackAttack]

Do you have a link to that source saying that? About Gasol I mean.

[Cocaine80s]

atleast change the title..... shit is so misleading

Wiggin and Petkovich :bowdown:

[navy]

???

Stacked?

[OmniStrife]

My god, this is kinda dumb for Cleveland imo...

[Cocaine80s]

Wiggin and Petkovich :bowdown:
seems like jameers neg plan backfired

[Meticode]

Thanks, I found it while you were looking. Read up above please about the thread deletion.

Is Wesley Johnson any good?
I think he is available - Cleveland could sign him for the minimum.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

lol tspence guy is a troll..he posts on realgm..

[Collie]

Rubio
Waiters
Wiggin
Thompson
Petkovich

That is a pretty solid team to allow a few years grow together.

No lie, Rubio with Wiggins on the wings would be pretty damn exciting.

[Fudge]

seems like jameers neg plan backfired
My team too strong

[Meticode]

lol tspence guy is a troll..he posts on realgm..
Really? You got some links? I don't go on RealGM, like at all.

[NattyPButter]

I was about to cry seeing this news and call the Cavs FO all kinds of names. Glad this sh!t isn't true. Got damn Minny fans making twitter accounts and spreading dumb shit.

[RedBlackAttack]

Just so you know, he broke other signings and trades hours before they happened or got announced.
Like what?

This is his "insider," for the record:

https://twitter.com/NBAForward

LOL. His follower count has actually jumped from about 18 a couple hours ago to 70+ now. He's super popular.



Combined with the fact that exactly zero Cleveland beat reporters are saying anything even in the same stratosphere as these clowns, I'm surprised you're taking them so seriously. Especially considering how dumb the trade idea is.

[Milbuck]

???

Stacked?
Stacked moreso for the future, not exactly right now.

Rubio| Lavine | Barea | Shved
Waiters | Martin | Muhammed
Wiggins | Budinger | Brewer
Dieng | Thompson
Pekovic | Dieng | Turiaf

The depth is what is ridiculous..in 2-3 years that team would be insane.

[04mzwach]

Glenn Robinson III turns out to be an all star and Wiggins a bust..lol

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Really? You got some links? I don't go on RealGM, like at all.
i was following the heat board free agency thread during the lebron saga and he was trolling them...he's just a cavs fan who guessed right about lebron coming back (like teplitz) so he claims to have inside sources

It has sparked enough conversation to where I don't think it is deletion worthy. They're talking about it over on RCF, too.

I just think people need to know the track records of these people. I'm 99% sure they're trolling. The other 1% is the possibility that they "know someone who knows someone who knows someone" that is giving them bogus info.

Either way, rest easy.

If you really want me to delete it I will. It's really not a big deal though.

This is what intrigued me...


Eric Rosenthal @ericsports
Source says the Timberwolves and Cavaliers have agreed to the principles of a trade involving Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love.

Not sure if he's getting his info from the same place or if it's a completely different.

[SwishSquared]

FWIW:

FearTheSword ‏@FearTheSword 2m

The Cavs behavior today re: Dion and Wiggins has not been akin to being close to trading them. I dunno. This offseason has been screwy

[RoundMoundOfReb]

He retracted:

[QUOTE]Eric Rosenthal @ericsports

[OmniStrife]

Wait, I've checked twitter, this deal is nowhere to be found, not even in rumor form...

OP is BSing.

[ronnymac]

LBJ probably wants Love without giving up Wiggins.

[Collie]

You can just put <retracted> or something in the title, it's interesting seeing the reactions here.

[RedBlackAttack]

change the title at least..
Changed the title from "Sources" to just a trade scenario. That should suffice.

[04mzwach]

I hate these threads that get my hopes up only to crush them

[NattyPButter]

If you really want me to delete it I will. It's really not a big deal though.

delete this shit it makes me sick just seeing the title every time I refresh the page or at least change the title.

[SpanishACB]

Wolves my new team on 2k.

Can't wait to start an Association with them.

See what trades they give me for Waiters on day one :rockon:
