On Thursday we learned that the Timberwolves reached an agreement in principle to trade Kevin Love to the Cavs for Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett & a protected 2015 first-round draft pick. The trade cannot be finalized until August 23rd because draft picks cannot be traded until 30 days after signing a new contract. Wiggins signed a rookie contract on July 24th.
Wondering how LeBron feels about the potential trade?! Check out his reaction…
Via ESPN:
“If he comes aboard, I will be very excited to have him,” James said in his first public comments since signing with the Cavs last month.
“I don’t even really care about the 26 [points] and 12 [rebounds], I care about his basketball IQ. His basketball IQ is very, very high. I had the opportunity to spend 32 days with him in the 2012 Olympics. He was huge for us … he’s a great piece.”

“We can’t get too far into it because of league rules, we don’t know for sure,” James said. “I’m not getting my hopes too high on it right now because you don’t know what could happen between now and the 23rd.”
