Sam Smith on what it would take to acquire Kevin Love

I know everyone is talking about Kevin Love, and pairing him with D Rose. I don't see this happening, but for fun I'll ask you. If K Love did become available how far would and should the Bulls be willing to go to get him, and would it be enough?

Sam: I dealt with that mostly last week. But if you were to acquire Love it probably would cost Noah and Deng and perhaps a first round pick given Love already has been a multiple All-Star, Olympic gold medal winner and double-double machine. That is what it would have cost to acquire Carmelo Anthony. Would you do that? And, by the way, even with all their injuries the Timberwolves are 13-11, barely less than the Bulls. Maybe he’d get to Chicago and realize the weather and record isn’t much different than Minneapolis and be unhappy again. And no one would want a sad Kevin Love and then the Bulls would have to trade him, maybe for Sebastian Telfair

I would do the trade if we still had Asik. Now it's kind of iffy, especially with Mirotic coming over. Some decisions to be made for sure.

I don't see Minnesota trading Love for at least the next 1.5 seasons. I don't see them wanting Noah when he'd be 29, as would Deng.

IMO it will take young assets. Bobcats pick, Mirotic, Teague, Butler, other picks/young players and an expiring or two.

The point is to pair Rose/Love/Noah up.

Yeah lets believe Smith... dude has no clue what he's talking about.

[abe_froman]

they wont trade love at this point and they'd probably want a magic type of package(that allows them to tank for number 1 pick),but i'd do that all day/everyday(and noah is my fav player).i'd give anything but rose for him and figure out how to fill in the team after

I'd have to talk to Brent about it. I at least think a Sam Smith mailbag thread should be made.
