The fix would certainly be in if that happened (I wouldn't have a problem with it either as long as Boston is guaranteed one of Embiid, Randall, Wiggins, or Parker) because I don't think the Lakers will have one of the 5 worst records.
Should the Wolves move Love before the trade deadline?

Letting him walk will do more harm long term than help, you can do what the Jazz did with Deron
Move him when nobody really expects it.
I think you underestimate how much Ainge probably likes Love, he'd give up the 2014 pick if it's not Embiid/Wiggins/Parker, he gave up Jeff Green for a 32 year old Ray Allen. Love is only 25, it would take the 2014 Pick and then some to get him.

Boston should pair him up with Rondo.

He really doesn't. Don't cry over that dude. He doesn't warrant your sympathy.
The Lakers want Love regardless of who they draft, every move in regards to their salary cap has been with his free agency summer in mind.

Ask me if I give a fukk
Flip is GM. You think I believe he's remotely capable of rebuilding this? fukk no. On top of that, he purchased stake in the team AND Doogie thinks he may replace Adelman as coach (this I don't have a problem with had he not been a GM). He's gonna wind up being a mini-Jerruh when it's all said and done. He's not gonna fire himself.
Let him walk. Let them burn. I heard Seattle's looking for a team. I actually find it funny that teams are plotting for him years ahead of time (at least Lakers stans also plan on signing 2 or 3 guys better than him too so there's that)
What I would do -
I'd wait until the deadline and hit up the Celtics, by that time there would be no shot of them making the playoffs. I'd demand the 2014 Cs pick, 2014 Sixers pick, 2017 Nets pick, Sullinger & Bradley.
I'd also move Kevin Martin & Rubio
End up with two lottery picks this year, a 2017 pick that will no doubt be high lottery.

You still gonna make draft threads, right my breh?

You're probably right. Danny would probably fight to include it, but he'd probably end up pulling the trigger if he needed to. I'm being a homer and don't want to see them give u Sully or a 2014 draft pick (unless it was protected to be the worst of the two (or possibly three) picks.
I also agree that they need to do it like the Deron deal, make the decision to move it, quietly get an idea of the offers you could get for him and do the deal within like a 2 day span. It also needs to be by this deadline IMO, because if not, they'll be in a situation like NY is for Melo where they can't get anywhere near his value because of his impending free agency and unpredictability.
I'd definitely expect Boston to be at the top of the bidding for Love if he became available either way

I would fight with everything I had to keep the 2014 Celtics pick if that were the deal.

Damn I ain't no they was after him like that. I dunno maybe I'm not respecting Love's impact on the game but I didn't really expect teams outside of Minny to be checkin for him like that.
You think he's worth max dollars?
They would be a great combination. You add a big man that can protect the rim, and a shooter alongside Rondo/Green/Love and you might be the 3rd best team in the East next year.
Yes, he's that good. But he needs to have a particular kind of center next to him for the team to be successful.

Why wouldn't I? They don't affect my work
If Love were available Boston will be on the phone first, no way Ainge is going to let a player like him pass without inquiring about him. I think they have the assets to get him and still build a competitive team that might get him to stay, plus Boston as a whole would go wild for a white dude that puts up his numbers.
If you built a team around him properly I think he's worth a max contract if you're looking at what other players earn.
He needs a 3 and 5 that can defend to make up for his lack of interior D & shotblocking. The Lakers want this dude, I'd say he's their number 1 realistic target since I think they realize Bron aint going there.
