A deal is in place....

The Minnesota Timberwolves have reached an agreement in principle to trade Kevin Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers for No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, 2013 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a protected 2015 first-round draft pick, according to media reports.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Monday that the Cavs and Timberwolves have a "handshake agreement" for a Love trade. Yahoo! Sports reported on Thursday that Love has committed to to opt out of his contract in 2015 and re-sign with Cleveland next summer five years and $120 million-plus.

The trade cannot be finalized until Aug. 23.

very nice deal.

[LT Profits]

Cavs get Love, Wolves get Wiggins, Bennett and a draft pick.

[LT Profits]

Love has agreed to 5-year, $120 million contract extension with Cleveland.

[Bluehorseshoe]

I can't believe G.S. didn't up their offer.

[BIGDAY]

It'll do.

[professionalAD]

[TwoWays]

UNCLE DREW and WES reunited!

[Spedizzo]

I hope Lebron leaves after a year or two and Love is stuck on Cleveland

Where he will never make the playoffs by himself

Just like on Minnesota

Overrated sissy boy

[Spedizzo]

Very poor deal by Cleveland

Wiggins and Bennett AND a draft pick is too much for Kevin Love.

Good job Minnesota

Now you only need a starting point guard who can take a jump shot

[The Giant]

It'll be interesting to see if Anthony Bennett ever develops.

If he does, this should be a good trade for both teams.

Great haul for the Wolves, if LeBron stayed in Miami they would have had to take much less in return for Love.

love would be in GS if lebron stayed in miami
both the wolves and cavs would be fighting for lottery balls
now cavs are fighting for a title

[brainfreeze]

Going to be a good season...

[jjgold]

Cleve Fukked up
White boys no good
Not winners and killers

[eidolon]

24million a year to Love? wow

[Otters27]

Niether Bennet nor Wiggins where proven to do anything. Good trade for Cleveleland to win now.

[LordVodka]

Cavs are now guaranteed Eastern Conference Finals.

[Wrigley]

They need to still add some defense

[BigSpoon]

Cavs are now guaranteed Eastern Conference Finals.

With Paul George out for the season, its looking like Cavs-Bulls in the East finals indeed.

[laclippers504]

Bennet is heading to Philly for Thad Young. Philly building a strong core of young guys.

[MikeTizzy]

cavs gonna get it done lol

[BarkingToad]

Cavs now team to beat

[ace888]

if cavs can add some defense , this trade would get them to finals

[Otters27]

I think they make Finals easy. Question is can they beat spurs again. Spurs peaked at finals this year. I think if all Irving, Love and James stay healthy they can do it. It will take a breakout season by Irving though

[Luckycharms2012]

It's Lebron' show in Cleveland. He's running the team. Lebron signed a 1yr + 1 yr player option deal just to put pressure on the team to make the moves they're making now. When Lebron signed with the Cavs local media asked if the Cavs are championship contenders, Lebron said absolutely not, we have a ways to go with this roster. In the same interview Lebron stated he wants to win championships and compete for rings "every year". To me that was a message to trade Wiggins. Cavs are doing everything to keep Lebron happy and make sure he doesn't leave after next season. Mike Miller, Ray Allen, Kevin Love etc.

I think the Cavs got the East now.

[BigSpoon]

If Rose is back to the Rose of old then its no lock Cavs make the Finals.

[ace888]

Actually i dont see no teams to beat the spurs if they play like last year

[ace888]

If Rose is back to the Rose of old then its no lock Cavs make the Finals.

no way they can beat cavs imo

[Menses]

As good as Cavs look on paper...they have several problems which will have to be addressed by the end of this season one way or another...and that is their defense which is non existent...and the headcases that are Kyrie, Waiters and Love....James got lucky with Miami...Wade's a Capricorn like him..and Bosh is easy going...you will never see another trio of stars jell the way those guys did in such a short period of time...the number 1 or 2 guard in the league stepping aside for a guy with no ring and a power forward willing to make himself look foolish at center for 4 years just to get a ring....the biggest problem they had was actually being too nice to each other and not dominating when they should...

Irving and Waiters both came to near blows last year over who got to shoot the most...they both ignored Mike Brown who wanted them to play defense...Love threw several teammates under the bus in public in front of the media after losses...Talent won't be the issue...it will be character that determines how far this team goes...

[Cross]

Lebron will make this team gel.

I can't believe G.S. didn't up their offer.

yea I really expected them to, I don't see the reasoning behind atleast not trying a little bit more, unless they have something else going I don't know about

[Otters27]

Only thing about this Cavs team is depth just like the heat. Spurs showed us all this finals that it is all about depth.

I dont believe spurs was so deep. I think they were just so well managed
