Fantastic.
I have been limited to merely an iPad for the last 7 days, so what I found is probably nothing new.
Revan and the Revanites are behind the stuff on Manaan. Revan is regarded as "Grand Master Revan" over what is probably the Revanite order. You will fight him as the Operation boss. Expect him to be pretty crazy in terms of not only power, but also how he acts. You already saw hints of madness on the Foundry, but now he is most likely much worse. swtor_miner datamined this a while back after he found some files named "Dread Grandmaster Revan".

Obviously there is a risk in keeping an unknown with Parker but there's still a decently sized risk with a proven vet too. You could even argue that 2/3rds of the Big Three were "busts" based on expectation. Wade definitely didn't play up to expectations and Bosh has been critiqued since the start though some of it unfair. Love is a sure thing but also isn't.
But I just believe that Parker will turn out to be an all-star in his own right. The NBA draft comes up with more busts than winners but when the hype is this real...it's hardly unwarranted.
Of course Love will take them over the top and make them and the Spurs as the favorites for the championship. Jabari won't do that right away but in 2016+ I think him and LeBron will be more deadly than him and Love.
Lol fail. Even then the point stands. They were 1A and 1B in the draft. And as I just said the veteran does not always mean more guaranteed or even more "win now." That's more of a myth than anything.

For starters Manaan will give exactly 0 new operations for players. Unless something really new just happened then this is second hand information that spread from a rumor.
A little too early to start ejaculating here.
This is no Vlade Divac-Kobe Bryant type deal. Kevin Love is no mere "veteran." He's an established top 10, probably even top 5 player in the league. And yes, while Love isn't guaranteed to play up to expectations, he still offers a better chance to win-now as opposed to Wiggins. You yourself stated that Wiggins won't be producing that output right away until around 2016. The Cavaliers want to win now. Oh yeah, and Love's only 26.

Wade carried that team in Lebron's first year while Lebron looked like a deer in the headlights, while Bosh provided pivotal help. The problem is that they were overhyped and could never live up to the MJ-Pippen-Rodman/Grant standards, and they didn't.
In terms of Love, only reason this is a good trade is because Lebron is in a win now mentality. He has maybe 3 more years of his prime left and he can't wait for Wiggins, who I think will be much better than Love. That Cavs team is going to suck defensively, though.
Of course Love will take them over the top and make them and the Spurs as the favorites for the championship.

The Wolves are in a position where they could lose Love without gaining anything and have no room for rebuilding. This trade "futureproofs" the Wolves and gives the Cavs a SOLID offensive five for a genuine shot at the championship and being a top five team, which I definitely think they can do right now.
Besides, it's not like the Cavs are offloading all of their young talent. Sure, Wiggins is great but Bennett was basically a bust. I know it was one season but the Cavs don't have time to fuck around and wait or they could dwindle into further mediocrity. With Irving and James, it only takes one more piece to REALLY push them over the edge and into taking a shot at what I'd call a "Mini-dynasty" and that's what they've done.
