102676, That underestimates how singular of a commodity Love is.

And, as Mike Armentrout says, "Never take a half measure."

You ride the fence and risk losing out on him. That also means potentially losing LeBron (again).

You don't think other teams will be interested? As I told Frank, there are a lot of franchises, they all want an all-star big man entering his prime. Sure, some teams don't have the assets or financial flexibility, but that doesn't describe everyone. This is not a two-horse race between the Warriors and Cavs, do not be naive.

The thing Longo was pointing to was Love's lack of interest in most of the other teams. That may be true, but they are all better than Minnesota so as the list of suitors expands, so too will his list of suitable destinations.

Short of Love demanding a trade to Cleveland specifically, Cleveland doesn't stand to gain any leverage by waiting IMO.
