And you're okay with a Smart-Rubio back court long term? I figured he'd probably want Randall, replaces Love and will contribute right away. Gordon and Vonleh are too much of a potential project, and I'm not sure the Wolves fanbase can handle them going in that direction again.
Not at all.

I'm not fond of the top of this draft at all outside of the top 4, so I don't like Smart. I don't like Randle (for this team). Randle forces a Pek trade (which I don't want), and if they're getting guys like Olynyk or Sullinger, then they're giving away Love for backups and a prospect with a fukked up foot

Also, if they wind up blowing it up, 2015 is just big men, so more roster upheaval.

That's the thing I can't get my head wrapped around... What do you do if you're the Wolves? They're kind of stuck in the middle, they've definitly been extremely unlucky as well... It'd be hard to put the fanbase thru another rebuilding year, but they won't get enough back in the Love trade to make them a better team and get them in the playoffs. The more I think about it, the more I feel like they have to try for a Thompson/Barnes/Lee trade from GS. That's the only scenario out there I've seen that could be enough to push them into the playoffs.

Fact is that Flip's not looking to rebuild it. He'll lose all of his money and the job he claims is temporary he'd have to keep since no coach would want it. Therefore, they shouldn't make a deal. Short term, you're not upgrading and you're not getting some grand offer.

And the Golden State offer is horrible because Lee's a very expensive temporary mercenary, Barnes SUCKS and all the questions people have about Love they'll have about Klay. For a streaky player like him, he might not wanna stay AND he's gonna want Eric Gordon money.

He won't do right by this team at #13. Why would Flip do well with a Love trade (and more importantly a Rubio contract negotiation which won't take place)?

I'm kinda warming up to Kyle Anderson at 13 even though Anderson at SG would be less than Ideal.
