This obviously is not a new idea to Warrior fans, but with Love announcing he won't re-sign and the Timberwolves saying they won't trade him till after the draft, I'm curious to see people's opinions on what they would be willing to give up and what it would realistically take to get Love. I know some think that you get Love no matter what and worry about building around Love and Curry.
The proposal I see a lot is Barnes and Lee. I don't think Minnesota would be interested in Lee and would likely want Klay and/or Draymond. I'm sure that Myers would do everything to acquire Love while keeping those two. I think Myers also was thinking ahead and when he made the trade with Utah, I know some media people questioned why he gave up 2014 and 2017 picks, but now after the draft he can trade the 2015 pick as part of the package. I think the best option is to try and move Lee in a separate deal to get some other pieces to package with Barnes and 2015 and maybe 2019 as well. They also still have a trade exception left that would allow them to take back a contract Minnesota wants to shed.
Budinger (2 years 10 mill, 2nd year is a PO) most likely guy they wanna drop.
Martin (3 years 21.255 mill) I could see us taking Martin if Klay is involved.
Shved (1 year 3.2 mill) Fallen out of favor after struggling in 2nd year.
Unless teams who Love won't sign an extension with drop out, I don't see the Warriors making a deal without Klay and/or Draymond. Love is a great talent, but this team already has depth issues, especially in the backcourt and moving a combination of Barnes, Green and Klay will only further expose this. Unless Lee can be moved for a G, I think a Love trade would be a one step back two steps forward type of move.
If the trade were Klay, Barnes Lee (or whatever Lee is moved for) and 1st for Love and Martin, I don't know how much better we would be. Martin is not a good defender and would give the Warriors a frail backcourt and weaken the 1-on-1 defense on any elite guards they face. Love is an elite rebounder, but a below average 1-on-1 defender.
Bogut/Ezeli/O'neal?
Love/ Speights
Iguodala/Green
Martin/Crawford??Nedovic?
Steph/Blake???
Not sure what else Myers would do, but that backcourt needs vast improvement if you want to be a contender in the west. Green would likely be forced to play some 3 when he would be better getting some minutes at the 4 so that Speights can sit his soft ass on the bench along with his jacking up 18ft jumpers.
Sorry for going on and on, but I just don't see how the Warriors make a deal for Love and hoping someone else can make me feel good about the possibility. I think Myers is a great GM and have faith he will make this team better, but I don't see a trade that makes sense to the Wolves without hurting the little depth we have.
Should have amnestied Andris, be real nice to have most of those 1st rounders.
