Can we give Flip some credit instead of bashing him now?

He was smart enough to realize whatever offers he had were essentially still going to be on the table and probably in his brief discussions with Cleveland for the #1 I bet he was told to hold out in the event they bring back LeBron.

By holding onto Love and with LeBron going to Cleveland, chances are he is going to get an even better package than he would have otherwise gotten with Wiggins and a bunch of picks coming his way.

He was getting shyt on for a while now for passing up on dealing Love before the draft, but now he could land Wiggins and more and not only that, but it puts more pressure on GS to give up Klay because they know their package can be easily beat.

Props to Flip.
