Do you guys remember Dallas running the 3 guard line-up of J.Kidd, Terry and JJ? I'm sure the Suns can get away with that line-up in stretches during the regular season against the right match-ups.

Probably an anomally because Kidd was a great defender (at a strong 6'4), even at his advanced age.

also you had a roster full of clutch shooters to spread the floor (peja, dirk, shawn, terry, jj, and kidd was lights out that series)

They didn't need to play defense.

No trade happening for at least the next 30 days

Not necessarily true. Doesn't mean we can't trade for Love in the next 30 days, it just means Wiggins won't be included in any trade deals.

The Cavs still have the leverage here. They can include a 3rd team, and send Waiters and Bennett somewhere along with picks and that 3rd team can then send their talent to MIN.

So many different possibilities here.

They (2011 Mavs) were a top seven or eight defense that season thanks to Carlise, Casey, Chandler, Marion and Kidd.

We'll see but I'd be shocked if Cavs land Love and Wiggins is somehow still on the roster.

Not happening IMO.
 
according to BR Bulls "Making Push" to get into trade mix for Kevin Love

Until Woj drops the news I believe nothing.

Didn't this whole Lebron thing just show you that the media and everyone tweeting and stuff literally have no ******* idea what's going on?

All rumors and speculations... these beat writers and people don't know ****.

Very possible actually.

For instance, the Suns can get involved in this - where they can send Bledsoe (plus other players) to Minny, and the Cavs can ship Waiters and Bennett to the Suns, and the Cavs would get Love.

The options are endless. No other team in the league can offer a team like MIN picks and players like we can, given the flexibility of our salaries.
 
Stein and Windhorst:
Bulls making push for Kevin Love

The Cleveland Cavaliers are firmly in the lead to acquire Kevin Love but the Chicago Bulls are making a renewed push to get into the trade mix for the All-Star power forward, according to sources close to the process.

Sources told ESPN.com the Cavs are increasingly optimistic that they are progressing toward a trade framework that the Minnesota Timberwolves will accept in exchange for Love to pair him with his Team USA teammate LeBron James.

Cleveland's offer, sources said, would be headlined by No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, 2013's No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round pick. At least one more player might have to added to the package to satisfy NBA trade rules.

Sources say that the Bulls, though, have re-entered the race and would appear to be the biggest threats to the Cavs, thanks largely to the Golden State Warriors' resolute unwillingness to add longtime Wolves target Klay Thompson in any deal.

Although the full extent of the Bulls' offer wasn't immediately known, it is believed Minnesota would seek a package from Chicago featuring forward Taj Gibson and defensive ace Jimmy Butler in addition to other assets. The Bulls shelved their Love interest while trying to sign Carmelo Anthony away from the New York Knicks but, according to sources, have re-emerged as contenders.

ESPN.com reported as far back as May that Golden State and Chicago were prime destinations that interest Love, who holds more than the usual sway in this process because he has the ability to become a free agent next summer.

The Cavs, though, rocketed to the upper echelon of Love's wish list of potential trade destinations from the moment James agreed to return to Cleveland. ESPN.com reported this month that even James' short-term contract with the Cavs -- which spans only two seasons and includes a player option to return to free agency next summer -- would not dissuade Love from committing to Cleveland.

Wolves owner Glen Taylor insisted again last week that he wanted to keep Love and that Minnesota is prepared to open the season with Love on the roster. But sources say numerous rival teams believe that Minnesota will ultimately part with Love before the start of the new season, given the extremely public nature of Love's unwillingness to commit to the Wolves beyond this season.

As ESPN.com reported Sunday, Cleveland is planning to formalize a contract with Wiggins this week. A trade involving Wiggins can't be done until 30 days after he signs his contract, which means the Cavs would have to wait a month to officially complete a deal with Minnesota even if the sides come to terms on a swap.

The Cavs' delay in signing Wiggins is not related to their pursuit of Love, sources say, but they ultimately would have to have Wiggins under contract to facilitate such a trade. The packages Cleveland has been offering to Minnesota, sources say, have included Wiggins' projected salary-cap number of $5.5 million, which can be factored into the trade only if he's under contract.

While James is said to be intrigued with Wiggins' potential and to have tracked his progress during summer league, sources say he has backed the Cavs' win-now pursuit of Love, with whom he played on the United States' gold-medal winning team at the 2012 London Olympics.

ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reported last week that a Cavs-Wolves trade appeared close to completion but quoted sources close to process as saying Minnesota wants more than Cleveland has offered to this point.

Sources say that the Wolves and Warriors also appeared close to completing a deal in June that would have sent Love to Golden State, but the Warriors ultimately decided they could not bear to part with Thompson, offering a combination of David Lee and Harrison Barnes instead.
