Laker's didn't make a strong pitch, you say?
"So we got this guy named Kobe. He's awesome. He will shoot 40 times a game and probably be an asshole to you but he's a proven winner so you must do everything he says. We got this other guy...his name is Randle...he was a BEAST in college but he suffered a minor setback last year tearing his achilles. We also got this new guy named Russell. He played SG in college but we are going to make him a PG. He has yet to play a single minute in the NBA but we know Kobe will be a great mentor to him, like he was to Smush Parker. Oh yeah, and remember LINSANITY? We still need to resign him but that shit was so cool in NYC, amirite? Everyone else on our roster you probably didn't even know play in the NBA. Also, our coach is great at tanking. He tanked so hard he got the Cavs 3, count em, 3 first picks in four years!"
I feel pretty good knowing this is what Love is going to hear.
It's also all stuff that Love and his agent would know before agreeing to the meeting in the first place. Love has more of a connection to L.A. than LMA did, and LMA has more of a connection to Texas than Love has to Ohio.
I'm not saying he's leaving -- I still think he comes back. But I'm hedging my bets if that meeting with LA actually goes ahead, because it's kind of a dick move on the part of Love and his agent if the Cavs have already put a max offer on the table.
I mean, what's the point of not taking the Cavs' offer if that's where you intended to be all along?
Atlanta is not done or screwed 12 hours into FA.
They basically traded Carroll for Splitter.
That's it.

I feel like Cavs want Love to take 5.
Love wants to take 1 and 1.
I think the Lakers noise is about Love getting what he wants rather than actually going to LA.
It also makes sense for Love to talk with the LAL about 2016 / 2017 as that conversation might be a factor in Love's 5 vs 1and 1.I feel like Cavs want Love to take 5.

If anything we'll get rid of it for a trade exception to use later down the road. The Haywood contract isn't something that's likely to be dealt within the first 12 hours of free agency unless another team has no other choice.if we get nothing for Haywood's contract I'm going to cry myself to sleep. How does pop do that shit without giving up assets
