A couple quick observations of why this rumor may have legs..........

1) Kevin Love would rather play in Chicago than Cleveland. If he's not intending on re-signing in Cleveland, the T-Wolves are now forced to look at Chicago.

2) Mirotic would make Rubio happy. There were reports last week that Rubio was unhappy & demanding a max deal. It's possible that the T-Wolves see good things in a future duo of Rubio/Mirotic.

Quick question...........When is the earliest that the Bulls can trade Gasol?

Doesn't make any sense...This trade needed to get done draft night. Bulls would have to give up Gibson, Butler, Dunleavy and future picks. That depletes our talent at the wing even more.

Our roster would look like -

C - Noah/Gasol
PF - Love/Gasol/Mirotic
SF - McDermott/Vet Min/Mirotic
SG - Snell/Hinrich/Vet Min
PG - Rose/Brooks

All of a sudden that becomes one of the worst defensive teams in basketball...

Oh ESPN..

Love said he'd be intrigued by the idea of playing for the Cavs if Bron returned

Nikola/Gasol cant be traded for 30 days

it would also be wrong to ship Gasol to Minnesota after he took less to come here

Personally i think the Bulls believe 110% in Mirotic

in their mind HE IS their Kevin Love.....it explains why its seems like they arent that interested in Love

i also agree with the notion that part of the reason they signed Gasol was to help Nikola learn the ropes

they have a ton of faith in Niko and are fully committed to him

but doesn't matter because we cant beat a offer with the #1 pick from a class ppl are hailing the best since 03 anyway

1) Is there a direct quote from Love?

2) I believe Gasol came here because he wanted to mentor Mirotic. He can mentor him in Minnesota for all I care. I want the BEAST named Kevin Love.

I don't care if Cleveland was offering LeBron James himself.

If Kevin Love doesn't agree to re-sign, the trade won't happen.

ESPN has the highest integrity. They can always be trusted to tell the truth.

ESPN once chopped down a cherry tree and told its father it did indeed do it.

What if Bulls trade Gasol, Butler, and Gibson for Love?

no theres no direct quote however there has been no reports that Love wouldn't be interested re-signing (not yet altleast)

the 2nd part is down right foolish....no Gasol came here with hopes of winning another championship.....you don't trade him after he sacrificed to come here

Pau Gasol is a 34yr old coming off a couple injury-plagued seasons. It's quite possible that he wasn't getting paid much more than what we're paying him.



This is what I'm thinking.
Code, the Bulls are not even needed for leverage.

I don't believe the Bulls have enough to supplant what Cleveland can offer for Love.

i believe Lakers offered 3/30 and 2/23

still it would be wrong to trade him to Minnesota right after you signed him
