Not that I'm supporting the move right now, but if ANYONE could convince the fans to take and welcome Love in, it would be Neil Olshey.
 
Back when there was a vocal contingent that argued Kevin Love was better than Aldridge, I was firmly in the camp that he was an overrated stat padder. I don't envision any scenario whereby Aldridge leaves the Blazers any time soon. It's not happening. As long as Aldridge plays for the Blazers, we don't have any use for an over paid Kevin Love. The question is moot.

If love wants to spend his golden years coming off our bench on a reasonable salary six years down the road, whatever.
 
Kind of unrelated. But this LA and Free Agency has got me thinking about Pop and his master plan when and if Timmy was to retire. And if was to do so this season.

I could see LA being part of his master plan. Bringing him to replace Timmy and his role. That would extend the championship window and his career several years. On draft day 2006 It was rumored that SA was trying to make a run for LA to be Timmy's eventual replacement. LOL. That was almost 9 years ago. But LA is from SA. Who know's the base to win a title is there with Parker, Ginoboli, Leonard and Pop. Concerns me that he might take that situation seriously. It's in Texas closer to home and Mom. It wouldn't surprise me. And it makes sense.

Here is to hoping he is the kind of guy that wants to create his own mark in a different environment and that Portland is his stage to do it in. They need to resign him.

It was a typo and should have been edited among other things. The idea is he is closer to Dallas in SA. And it is Texas.

Honestly the only way I see Aldridge wanted to go back to Texas is if his mother has a relapse. Which god willing, she won't ever have suffer like that again.
 
Aldridge could be the next Tim Duncan for San Antonio. Just like how Tim Duncan took David Robinson place.

I hope so...I don't necessarily believe that. But hope you're right.
 
I don't want Kevin Love for the Blazers. I don't think he can lead a team to a championship and I think the Cavs would have made a different trade in retrospect even if they're still contenders. IF we didn't already have a high-level PF and needed a player of Love's abilities maybe, that's not the case right now and Love isn't worth the price-tag and hype.
 
KLove is the next David Lee ...I'll stick with Meyers and DWright anyday

After seeing Leonard progress this season, he may become a better version of Love anyway. One that can be coached and actually play defense

Eh. I wouldn't go that far. We want Meyers to be good.
 
Kevin Love might be the replacement for Timmy in SA. As much fun as people make of Love he is still an incredible player who just needs to learn to play some better D and if anyone can teach him to do that Pop Could.

I think he can play. I think he is slightly overrated but I think he can play. I think we as fans would see a drop off lets say if Love was to ever replace LA. Probably similar to the one we seen with Rasheed Wallace to Shareef Abdur Rahim when that trade was made.. It was noticeable.

Hasn't pop said that once Duncan retires he's going to retire?

He never said that but thats what everyone used to assume because their contracts were always the same length. Ever since pops contract extension people who know him say he wants to couch a year or two after Timmy retires so he can make sure to not leave SA in the dump with both him and Timmy retiring at the same time.

He said it in an interview once, I saw it. When asked when he'd retire he answered, probably whenever Timmy does. This was a couple years ago or maybe even last season.
 
I kind of hope he ends up on the Lakers this offseason. Would prevent them from being relevant for a decade.
