The Blazers may be interested in Kevin Love?

[Elvin Jones]

I first read the video title as, "How derp is your love."

And I was all like, "it's so derp, that it's already herped."

 

[RoyToy]

That's not bad at all..

The trade suggestions on this board are hilarious though.

A team with a staring PF averaging over 2 3PA/G is not going to win a championship. Then to shoot a meh % on top of that is just terrible.

Fuckin' Sheed, lol.

I guess it helps when you have Billups/Hamilton/Prince.

Why does everything have to be based around championship aspirations? Most around here thought that door closed a long time ago. I think about 1 of those 2 attempts per game has to do with Minnesota getting there ass kicked by 20.

I have actually been thinking about this for a while. I think we would be a good fit for us. maybe a oden trade? They might just be stupid enough to take him......

 

[Mediocre Man]

One thing that worries me.

What is wrong with Love, that Minny would even consider trading him?

That being said, if you could get Love without giving up Aldridge, Batum, Roy or Oden that jump at it. Love's rebounding would enable LA and Nic to sprint out on fast breaks and really put a lot of pressure on the defense.

I think it's more the Love boat theme.

Love........Exciting and new

Re: kevin love

Something tells me that the Marty deal has probably made another trade with Minny pretty tough.

Re: kevin love

I would normally agree, but they do not seem to be the sharpest tools in the shed.

Re: kevin love

Trading for the best player on a crappy team. Harvey Grant on line one...

Why would we trade a center for a PF that duplicates what LA does? I suppose we can play Love at center. But I also agree that Minny isn't taking Oden for Love.

Re: kevin love

This board's obsession with Love is bordering on creepy. Never seen so much interest for a guy that is so mediocre.

 

[zeded]

I would love Love.

I'm not sure I follow. He scores well inside and out and rebounds fantastic, but his defense is poor at best. He helps our bench but I'm not a Love lover despite my Oregon and UCLA roots.

And I just don't see how we get him without giving up too much.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Didn't Zach and Darius overpay for "love" a couple of times?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd like Kevin on our team. I think that the same reason he didn't fit with Al Jefferson is the same reason he'd be good with LMA. And against teams where having an undersized C would hurt us, you start Camby and LMA.

Agree that you shouldn't overpay, but I'm not too much in awe of Kahn's negotiating skills right now.

Hahaha!

If that isn't a cautionary tale with K-Love then nothing is.

 

[Elvin Jones]

Re: kevin love

Hahaha!

If that isn't a cautionary tale with K-Love then nothing is.

When you cut a player's time by 1/3 and their shooting percentage goes down, it's not much mystery why he didn't produce.

And no, I'm not talking about Wes Matthews, although I guess I could be...

Harvey Grant just was never particularly good, though. His PERs with Washington:

10.6
12.0
16.5
15.3
16.1

Just above average, at best. And that was at ages 23-27.

Compare that to Love:

18.3
20.7
20.7

Significantly better than average... and that's from the age range of 20-22. He's still got a lot of time to improve...

The Jazz took the best player on that crappy team of last year and Al Jefferson is looking like a nice fit. Lakers took the best player on a horrible Memphis team and it worked out for them. Can't really fault a 22 year old for playing with a shitty cast of characters.

Re: kevin love

This board's obsession with Love is bordering on creepy. Never seen so much interest for a guy that is so mediocre.

What kind of numbers can you give me to suggest he's mediocre? His rebound rate? His PER? His passing ability?

He's the best big man in the league in terms of wanting to change your offense to get out and run. The guy throws outlet pass dimes like he's not even thinking about it.

 

[Nikolokolus]

28 pts, 31 boards, 5 dimes and 2 turnovers against NY tonight. Unreal.

 

[MickZagger]

Love currently has 31 rebounds, 13 of those offensive boards. To go along with 28pts and 5 asts with 3 minutes still left in the game.

You guys are right he's just an overrated scrub.

 

[MickZagger]

A possible 30/30 game?

First one since Moses Malone in 1982.

 

[MickZagger]

K, Its official 31 points and 31 rebounds. Still a minute left.

Done. 31-31-5.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think that's really cool that Love accomplished that. I love hustle guys and he epitomizes hustle guys.
