Kevin Love to Rip City (thread)

[Mr. Robot]

so if LeBron leaves CLE, what are the chances Kevin Love asks for a trade or getting traded... even if the CLE remains playoff team, I think it would certainly be more entertaining for him to play with Dame & CJ or at some other team, anyway better team than CLE

Neil Olshey said were patiently waiting to add that third piece to this team and he could be that piece and I sure think hed try to bring him here... so lets discuss it frendos

Dame, CJ & Love is a lot of scoring and no defense whatsover, but fuck it, Id do it!

How would you feel about nurk for love straight up.

fuck off with that shit straight away

Hell no

 

[Orion Bailey]

fuck off with that shit straight away

I knew thatcwould get your goat. lol.

I wouldnt either. And actually i dont want him. wIth our backcourt, our front court needs to be defense first. He would not help nurk in he paint lole collins aminu, etc.

I think hecwould make us a worsecteam than we are.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I dont even know if this is doable without giving Dame, CJ or Nurk, but fuck it, I thought it would be a good idea to put it out there

See what thinking gets ya?

 

[blue9]

No.
Edit: Unless we're trading Turner or Aminu for him...then sure!

 

[Mr. Robot]

if it takes Nurk, I could see it happening, theyre very high on Zach Collins... it would a gamble, but if you want to add that third piece, you might need to gamble... or wait for someone in free agency

My father’s version of that was, “That’s what you get for doing your own thinking.” It’s funnier now than when I was a kid.......

Nobody's getting my goat!!!

Wow thats a pretty cute goat. No wonder tou wont share.

A recent news story stated that he suffers from panic attacks. If LeBron moves on, he'll really be a lost soul.

Lots of people do.

It's normal.

It's here on my desk. I bought everyone in the office one:

This is true. A couple million people in the states alone are diagnosed with panic attack disorder.
With that said, it had an impact on cleveland.
As unfortunate as it is, its now a public handicap that could severely hurt his market value.

Nice. Goatlover orgies. At work nonetheless!!! Lol

 

[Lukee]

Dame-CJ-Bron-Kev-Nurk

That would be just fine.

I don't think so. He put up amazing numbers before he was diagnosed. Without therapy. He'll be fine with professional help. Hell, the blazers have their own shrink.

Well when you put it like that....

I dunno. This isnt like a broken bone with a time table for healing.
Emotions and the mind are fickle.
Its good that he is able to talk about it. Thats a great first step.
But he cost cleveland and was the epicenter of confusion which caused players to continue goign he independant road rather than playing as a team.

I dont see any team wanting to pay much for a guy that might have an attack causing him to just walk out of a game and have an unknown timetable for his return.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I like Kevin Love and have always thought he'd be a great addition to this Blazers team. And for those of you saying he's not the answer. We've already got the answer his name is Damian Lillard so that question is pretty much irrelevant!

 

[Orion Bailey]

I like Kevin Love and have always thought he'd be a great addition to this Blazers team.

He drinks like a fish too?

Okay. Aside from the panic attacks, lets talk seriously about this.

What would you pin the blazers improved play on? Dames mvp game of late, sure. But what else?
I pin it on our improved defense.

How do you think Love would integrate his play into this team while maintaining thier top 10 defensive rating?
I dont think its possible.

Now lets look at cleveland before love left.
One of the worst defenses in the league. They are also not nearly as good as years past, coinciding with a better defensive rating in years past.

Kevin love would make this team worse, much like melo made okc worse.

This team has enough outside shooting.
We are lacking that 2 way forward.

Unless love comes cheap. Like shedding meyers and tuerners contract cheap And understands he might come off the bench for 20-25 a night, i dont want him.

The bolded red would be attributed to IT.

 

[blue9]

Also no.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Mmm i think he ran with it. But wasnt the eoicenter or the start.

He went public with the confusion about love, but love created the confusion, whether he wanted to or not.
No doubt IT showed himself to not be a great teamate, but that exposure wouldnt have happened if love wouldnt have walked off the court and then never discussed it with his teamates.
IT madecit much bigger than it should have been, but it all still started with love.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Also when i say cost cleveland, i mean he missed games. Thats not on IT

 

[stampedehero]

It's normal.

Not everyone accepts it. My daughter in law has it whenever she has to drive. Now that is a hassle. I think Paxil is one of the meds used to treat it. I'm sure we'll see that ad on television along with the hundreds that occupy commercial spots these days.

I agree, we need a slashing athletic wing who can drain the 3, take it to the hoop, and play lockdown D on the perimeter
