Some K Love news
Joe Cowley: According to a Timberwolves source, the Bulls made a "significant offer'' for Kevin Love this morning and it's being "heavily considered.'' Twitter @suntimes_hoops - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.mZjWiaND.dpuf
Joe Cowley: Bulls felt Timberwolves were initially bluffing to drive up the price Tue. night, but in backchannels with Love, felt like Cavs were close. Forman and Pax are in a win-now window, and made the decision that Love in Chicago is much better than Love in Cleveland with James. On the TWolves side, there is great pressure to start winning, and another rebuild with the Cavs deal is not ideal.

Darren Wolfson: NBA source w/ a big stake in the #Twolves/Cavs talks verifies @Chris Sheridan report: Gibson, Mirotic, McDermott on the table for Love. Twitter @DarrenWolfson - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.mZjWiaND.dpuf
The Timberwolves have been steadfast in their stance when entertaining trade offers. They know what they want and are unwilling to part with Love right now unless they get what they want in return. Minnesota has made it clear that any trade talks with Cleveland for Love include Wiggins. The Cavs were reluctant to include Wiggins in a deal but realize the only way to get Love is to trade Wiggins to Minnesota. Wiggins has not signed his rookie deal with Cleveland yet, and once he does, he cannot be traded for 30 days. If Wiggins signs soon, the Love-to-Cleveland sage could drag on for at least the next month. USA Today Sports - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.mZjWiaND.dpuf

good move.......After voiding Lewis' contract due to injury (and surgery), Mavs will be signing Al-Farouq Aminu!
I wasnt aware he was 6'9", thought he was 6'7". But a stretch 3 to play backup at both forward spots, this is ideal. Athletic, defender, rebounder. Exactly what the Dr ordered.
Doesnt score a lot of points, but I have a feeling our smalls will be putting the points on the board for the 2nd string lineups.
Gary Washburn: NBA source tells Globe that Ray Allen is leaning toward returning for 19th season and joining LeBron James with #cavaliers Twitter @GwashburnGlobe - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.N1w2OxRZ.dpuf
I would love to see more players with 1 or 2 teams their whole career.
Like the sign by the Mavs, hopefully we can ditch Felton now...I see us being a little thin at Center, hopefully Chandler can stay healthy
Brian Windhorst: Cavs officially signed Andrew Wiggins today to a deal starting at $5.5 million. He cannot be traded for 30 days. Twitter @WindhorstESPN - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.ojtavGfO.dpuf
Mavs announce signing of Nelson;
Dwain Price @DwainPrice 46m
Deal hasn't been signed yet, but source said the #Mavs and Jameer Nelson have agreed on a 2-yr, $6 mill deal. The 2nd year is a player opt.
Jameer's experience with playing alongside Dwight in ORL, tells me of some good chemistry for him and Ty Chandler.
Mavs are most likely bringing back Sarge (Bernard) James to complete their roster. That'll give us 4 options. Difference from last season, Chandler > Dalembert, Blair > Smith?. Our backups will provide. Smith's came out already and said he wants to learn, and wants to play D. Says he loves to play D, rough it up and crash the boards. Music to all MFFLs ears!!
EDIT:
#MFFL @MavsFansForLife 4m
Jameer Nelson has finalized paperwork on his deal with the #Mavs: $2.75M in Year 1, $3.25M in Year 2. (Via @shamscharania)
We now have 15 players signed, even though Eric Griffin's contract is guaranteed. Sarge hasn't proved much and can't see him producing anything meaningful for an NBA team.
It appears the Lakers have finally found their man. The Los Angeles team has offered their head coaching position to Byron Scott on Friday, according to multiple reports.
The Lakers are the only team left in the NBA without a head coach and have conducted an exhaustive search to find a replacement for Mike D’Antoni, who resigned in April. The list of contenders included Mike Dunleavy, Kurt Rambis, Alvin Gentry and Lionel Hollins.
Los Angeles interviewed Byron Scott a total of three times for the job, and Scott received an endorsement from Lakers star Kobe Bryant earlier this month. Scott was a member of three Lakers championship teams as a player and has kept a good relationship with Bryant off the court.
Scott has a 416-521 record as a head coach and led the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets) to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003. His last coaching stint was with the Cavaliers, which ended after the 2012-13 season.
