Would you? There are rumors of a KLove trade before the trade deadline. Should the Blazers be interested? It would be interesting.

In a word, no. But that's never how it works..

It would depend on the offer- I mean if they were giving him up for Plumlee and scraps... sure you'd be dumb not to make that deal. But the Simmons podcast stated straight up for CJ- to me you're eliminating a creator and you're not helping with any defensive issues- he's beyond overrated there (watch the finals replays and you see Love being exploited all night long- or not b/c he wasn't out there, or watch the replay from last week and the Vines of him being abused- take your pick). He has had some rather big injuries- twice breaking his hand and then there's the shoulder (thanks Kelly!) plus a couple of other nagging back injuries. Considering PDX history with injuries and bigs... nah.
The positives here- you've got a "star" locked up on a cheaper deal under the current CBA as opposed to what CJ will get, and he's on par with the Dame timeline. He also fits the Stottsfense of having a big away from the rim. Typically when you trade big for small- the one getting the big ends up winning... which is why it doesn't usually happen- however, just like the Love for Wiggins deal, I feel like the one who takes Love loses.

Id welcome love here with open arms.

Pleaaaassseeeeee

He would definitely improve our talent
 
CLE: Ryan Anderson+Gerald Henderson

-Why Do they do it? Two quality vets on expiring contracts, both fit the Cavs style of play.

POR: Kevin Love

-Why do they do it? Solidifies the third offensive piece they need.

NO: Noah Vonleh

-Why do they do it? Get a young piece with ton of potential in exchange for an expiring vet.

Say if we land him we go hard for Whiteside in the summer.

Dame / FA or Draftee?
CJ / Crabbe
Aminu / Harkless
Love / Davis
Whiteside / Plumlee

If it didnt cost us an arm and a leg id love to get love but the asking price will be high and Love is Meyers Leonard level defensively
 
I thought Love missed the Finals?

Which is why he looked invisible out there.

I started to write a joke about him not being there... phone rang... lost what I was saying and didn't realize I hadn't changed it before finishing my thought. Rookie move. Was trying to make the point that he's been banged up, and when he has been on the floor he's been eaten up in the pick and roll game. Good catch though.

Let him shoot some threes my friend
If it makes you feel all right
Sit him on the bench my friend
If it makes you feel all right
'Cause I don't care too much for Meyers
For Meyers can't buy me Love.
 
I really like the trade scenario and going after Whiteside. I wish therer was a way to substitute Alexander for Vonleh though..Im really liking the small improvements im seeing in his game. His Defense is solid and I think he has the potential to be a 17/8 type of guy off the bench, or a 20/10 as a starter (this is peak, mind you)

Could we sub Vonleh for For Plumlee, Keep VOnleh as the backup PF and Davis as the backup C?

This gets my fancy just a weeee bit more. ;)

I can't believe anyone wants that nitwit on the Blazers. Have you forgotten the dumpster fire of a human being that is his father?

For a guy who looks like a hippie, you sure hate us hippies.
 
It's all good. When that chick ripped his arm off during the Boston series, I lost any interest I might have otherwise had in Love. How embarrassing for him.

Just put some Vasoline on your buzzcut and suck up your sorrows.

Can't buy me Love, no.
Everybody tells me so.
Can't buy me Love, no.
Leonard, no, no, no!

That song was at the beginning of the Beatles cartoon show on Saturday mornings. I had grown out of cartoons but made an exception just to hear the songs.
