THE CAVS, SIXERS, AND TIMBERWOLVES FINISH A MAJOR DEAL INVOLVING KEVIN LOVE. LOVE IS ARGUABLY THE BEST POWER FORWARD IN THE NBA AND WILL JOIN FORCES WITH LEBRON JAMES TO HOPEFULLY MAKE CLEVELAND TITLE CONTENDERS. THE TIMBERWOLVES RECEIVE #1 OVERALL PICK ANDREW WIGGINS AND FORMER TOP PICK ANTHONY BENNETT FROM CLEVELAND AND VETERAN FORWARD THADDEUS YOUNG FROM PHILADELPHIA. THE 76ERS RECEIVE A 2015 FIRST ROUND DRAFT CHOICE FROM CLEVELAND PLUS GUARD ALEXEY SHVED, FORWARD LUC MBAH A MOUTE FROM MINNESOTA, AND A $6.3 MILLION TRADE EXCEPTION. THE CAVS AND T-WOLVES WERE IN TALKS FOR LOVE MONTHS BEFORE LEBRON WENT BACK TO CLEVELAND AND SHOULD ALREADY BE COMPLETE EXCEPT A RARELY USED NBA RULE MADE THE TEAMS WAIT UNTIL 30 DAYS AFTER WIGGINS SIGNED HIS ROOKIE CONTRACT. SOURCES SAY THE PRESS CONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE THE DEAL WILL LIKELY BE NEXT WEEK AFTER ALL PROSPECTIVE PLAYERS PASS A PHYSICAL.
