Still not.
I edited my earlier post.
to add to it, it makes the LaVine more puzzling (if we acquire Klay Thompson, the LaVine pick becomes inexcusable when they could have just drafted Payne to keep a big body around.
Give us Lavine and Love for Bennett and picks
See that's where I would call Flip on greed. Dieng can be replaced.
The Wolves are going to suck regardless if they move Love. They already have Pek under contract. They're going to be in the lottery next year in a draft full of bigs.
Dieng should be expendable if your getting Wiggins and moving a bad contract. Period.

Neg pendingYes you do
To you he was all that, to me he was an undersized chucker and highlighted one of the worst eras of basketball I have ever seen, but hey he crossed Jordan.

He really can't. You tell me the last time this franchise has had a center with the defensive ability Dieng has. For a team that has awful rim protection, Dieng fits it. It's not coming from Pek, Love, Dubljevic overseas. They simply don't wind up with players, let alone centers, like Dieng. To keep it 100, after Ricky, Dieng's the most valuable asset they have, and given that Flip begrudgingly picked him, there's nothing that would indicate that he would seek a Dieng-like player out (all he's been linked to are players like Olynyk, Lee, Sullinger, Bennett, Tristan Thompson, Gibson, Mirotic, Randle, Vonleh, hardly rim protectors of any kind). The need to remove bad contracts just wouldn't be there. If they'll be as bad as you think, what's the rush? They're dead weight anyway. No need to attach Dieng to get rid of a bad salary with no way to replace Dieng. That's bad management.
If replacing Dieng was so easy, you shouldn't have an issue signing a Dieng-like player
The intent with Pek is to play him less because he can't log huge minutes without suffering some sort of injury. If you trade Dieng, that plan goes to shyt, you get just as bad of a fit on defense in Bennett that would force you to move Pek anyway (for God knows who), and if Pek goes down, you literally have no one to play the position besides an injury prone Turiaf, and Pek's health would be a MUST because once Love is gone, someone has to score, and the Pek n' Roll should be the bread and butter of their offense.
So Flip would use the team option to renounce Bennett and/or Thompson just to draft another big in 2015?

He probably wouldn't look to re-up Tristan regardless of how he performs. If they suck as bad as you think, they're not gonna need a PG (assuming Ricky doesn't just take the QO), SG or SF. They're already reduced to hoping they could get Towns or Porzingis if they don't make the playoffs and those guys could go top 5-7. Anyone else would be a waste of time at the 4 or 5 (and that includes Okafor)
Could you imagine an 11th straight season with no playoffs only to HAVE to draft Montrezl Harrell's wack ass?
If the Cavs already had Love,would they trade him for Wiggins,Bennett,and some picks

Of course not because they are headed in to different directions as organizations.
Nothing will happen though unless Wiggins signs. I wonder if I'm his agent do I even want him to? They wanted him to be in Cleveland or Philly.
