The Timberwolves made a midnight trade after last night's NBA draft, swapping their pick, O.J. Mayo, along with the undesirable contracts of Marko Jaric, Greg Buckner and Antoine Walker to the Grizzlies in exchange for draftee Kevin Love, as well as MIke Miller, Jason Collins and Brian Cardinal. I went to bed in the middle of the second round so I didn't even hear about the trade until this morning.
I really don't know what to say about this trade. I like Love, I think he's a better fit for the Wolves than Mayo was, Miller's quite a good player, and getting out from under Jaric and Walker's contracts was absolutely necessary- the Wolves are, improbably, just about bad-contract-free, aside from Brian Cardinal's, which they took in the trade.
In the other hand, I have zero trust in Kevin McHale to do anything, and I still have no idea why he even still has a job. Then again, the other GM in the trade, Chris Wallace, is even more of an imbecile, so...
Worst thing about the trade: It means there won't actually be a "Love/Gay" frontcourt in Memphis next year.
