Yeah they lost, it would be taking a step back by doing that but they're not making the playoffs next season anyway. They could take Len 1st overall and have just about every position filled besides the 3 spot and would have money to sign a decent wing with Love off the books. They could sign a Matt Barnes for a little over market value with this deal and bring back Pek. Teams in small markets have to take these kind of deals because they won't be signing anyone of significance anytime soon.

I think they declined the trade because it would be way too much color on that roster and as we all know they like their roster pale and frail.

Very good chance of none of those 3 players ever making an all star team. Any of them capable of 26 and 13 over a season? Hell no. When you have a 24 team old all star big, you build around him.

Your best case scenario is kicking the can down the road five years and one of them being as good as Love eventually. Small market teams win by building around the stars they have intelligently, not throw him away for a pipedream.

I see no way the Wolves become a playoff contender anytime soon. Might as well take a chance.

After rebuilding for years, I don't see them doing it again so easily. And if they wanted to, they could get a lot better then that.
