Grantland.com is run by Bill Simmons, meaning the site typically

1) loves to talk hoops

2) loves to trash the Timberwolves.

Simmons and co. have assembled some stream of consciousness takes on a possible Kevin Love-Andrew Wiggins trade, and they add up to about 3,000 words. Some of it is bitter nonsense, some of it is astute observation. We will leave you to dig through it, with this set-up from Simmons:

With my beloved Celtics stuck in Rebuilding Mode, I find myself rooting for LeBron's Cavaliers to give Cleveland its first championship in 50 years. How they handle a hypothetical Kevin Love–Andrew Wiggins trade is crucial for that quest. What should they do? Here at Grantland, we couldn't resist passing along our advice. I'm writing an expanded take, and then we're turning it over to some of our other writers for their quickie takes.
