Kevin Love AGAIN (with poll)

[James lamphear]

My only worry is his injuries the guy can still play. He plus type a rebounder and he can spread the floor. I would trade CJ for him and sign Powell. Starting lineup:
Dame
Powell
Nurk
Love
Roco

 

[tykendo]

I think Kevin Love would be a nice addition, if the Blazers could acquire him after a buyout.

 

[julius]

The only way I'd take Love is if their 1st round pick this year is included, but why would Cleveland do that.

 

[Scalma]

Love will probably be bought out the same way Blake was. I’d rather have him than Melo

 

[Mr. Robot]

if he gets bought out, he aint coming to portland

it will be some contender

 

[Pinwheel1]

On the other hand, he already has his ring, so he does not need to chase one.
Not that I buy into the bullshit that their legacy depends on it.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Would you guys do CJ McCollum and Robert Covington for Kevin love, Larry Nance Jr and #3pick?

sure, but i assume hed rather win another chip than play somewhere where he cant win the chip

its not like he can get bigger contract from anyone, so money wont be a factor, but also he wont have a big role wherever he goes, therefore, joining a contender makes sense

That would be fair as long as Love stay healthy.

 

[Scalma]

fuck no

 

[ehizzy3]

It’s something to consider….

….if we also get the #3 pick in this draft (Suggs).

personally I would prefer Jalen Green or Mobley. What are we giving up for the #3 pick?!

I am awestruck at the CJ disrespect. This is the one time when I am glad we have Olshey because he would never consider this.

(Your view becomes perhaps slightly less dumbfounding on the following assumptions:
1. Powell will not re-sign if we keep CJ.
2. Powell WILL re-sign if we DON'T.
But they remain assumptions. And you know what happens when you assume.)

Of course. Cleveland would not though

Ass-u-me?

Love has already said that he wants to play for Portland and come home. He is close with CJ and hangs out with him. If it was a buyout I don't think it is far fetched to say we would be a serious contender for his services.

 

[Mediocre Man]

This whole time I thought we were actually trying to improve our defense?

Can we at least try to play defense this year and see what happens?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Would he be this year’s version of Melo? Would we have to have both on the team at the same time? Love seems very washed up to me.

 

[Pinwheel1]

If we are talking Vet minimum and he is not expecting big minutes, then why not have him on our bench? He still shoots over 80% from the line and averaged
7.4 boards a game in 25 minutes last season.

<facepalm>

 

[THE HCP]

A- I get tired of hearing him wanting to come “home”. He is NOT from Portland!
B- I think he would be a great fit with our squad, and have for years.

nah bro...he calls Oregon home because he grew up here just like my son...my son was born in Hawaii and lived in Taiwan until 3rd grade when we moved back to Portland....he grew up here, graduated high school and college in Oregon...married an Oregonian girl from Bend and bought a house in Eugene....he has earned the right to call Oregon home....he lived the first two months of his life where he was born in Hilo Hawaii but he doesn't think of that as home...choices....Klay Thompson and Kevin Love grew up in Lake Oswego together and K Love hold the scoring record for Oregon high school hoops...that's local bro...just because he went to college in California doesn't change that for him or your son either...

He played high school in Portland didn't he and won state championship.

 

[twobullz]

My biggest issue with Love is in the last 5 years he has never played more then 60 games and 2 of the seasons played 25 or fewer games. He is not someone you can rely on if you are wanting to win a championship. He would be a great 10th-15th man who you use as a luxury but you can't count on him being healthy.

Seems to me Love clamped down on D against the Warriors and won a championship.

Which of the last 5 seasons was that? I remember Michael Jordon was clutch in the Playoffs, but doesn't mean he would be anymore. Love hasn't played more then 60 games since that season by the way.

Much like Blake Griffin, I'm guessing Love would be better in a competitive situation again.

 

[THE HCP]

No sir, he is from Lake Oswego. Trust me, that is NOT Portland. Good or bad, he can't claim to be from Portland. Ime Udoka, Stoudamire, Terrell Brandon...... they all can, but he can't.

Stop dissin' the burbs bro! Ask Dame where he lives and he's going to say "Portland", not LO......that ain't Lincoln City bro! ok we'll compromise...."The greater Portland area!" I see you out there Wilsonville! I can't include the Couv though....Washington ain't Oregon

You sir are old and senile and have NO clue what you speak of.

that's true freedom...you'll find out one day young whippersnapper! also you can fart anywhere when you're old and senile
