Great discussion here. HOWL to Tod Murphy.

Love & Barea for Dwyane Wade. Who says "No"?

Clearly the cHeat. Not because it doesn't make them better, but because they are in love with him irrationally and hate Barea.

I'd do it.

Me too, but I think Daddy's right.

But this one was actually NR.2 of one of the many trade scenarios, I proposed earlier:
Which one do you guys think could be realistic & which one would be o.k. with you:

"- KLOVE, JJ Barea & DWIll for Josh Smith & Al Horford...
- KLOVE for DWade
- KLOVE & DWILL for DH12
- Or: KLOVE & JJ for : LA & Babbitt
- Actually, right now I would even go with: KLOVE & JJ for Horford & A. Morrow
- Or maybe even for (quite bold): KLOV & JJ for Kidd-Gilchrist, Henderson, Mullens, Diop + Draft pick
- I even think about: KLOVE & JJ for Nene, Beal + Draft picks...
- I immediatly would go for Love, JJ, Bargnani to the Bulls, Boozer to the Raptors & Noah to Minny...
- Also KLOVE for Davis, Aminu, Henry (This maybe would be the best trade, but it won't happen!!)
- At this point, I even would consider KLOVE for Luol Deng a possible trade... (which would be unrealistically though, unless The Bulls ship Boozer for Calderon, too)
- Also with KLOV & JJ for Varejao & Walton
- Also KLOVE & JJ for Bosh & James Jones...
- Also I will go with: KLOV & JJ for Gallinari, Farried, Mozwgow & Chandler
- Also: KLOVE & JJ for D.Lee & Barnes..."

My dude, you are tripping with some of those. Lopsided either way. I like where your head is at though...

Yeah... you trade Love for Varejao or Noah, you want something else in return.

Love is (whether or not he is a whiny beotch) one of the 10 best players in the League. The list of people who would not immediately be offered in a straight up trade looks like this:

LeBron
Wade
Durant
Howard
Kobe
Rose
Chris Paul
Melo
Deron Williams

The list of people that would cause the opposing GM to stop and think before responding goes like this (I suspect most or all GMs would pull the trigger for Love though):
Westbrook
Irving
Chandler
Iguodala
Bynum
Harden
Blake Griffin
Joe Johnson
Anthony Davis
Garnett
Nowitzki
Both Gasols
Roy Hibbert
Zach Randolph (only because the Grizzlies have been winning)
Pierce (been a Celtic his whole career)
Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli (only because they've been Spurs their whole careers)

There is no single player that Charlotte, Portland, Phoenix, Atlanta, Orlando, Milwaukee, Washington, Utah, Golden State, Toronto, or Sacramento would not trade for Love in a heartbeat.

I like the Noah or Varejao plus picks or wing players for Love trades best. This team needs elite interior defense from a big (besides Kirilenko).

I feel like I think K. Love is as big of a B as anybody does, but some of you guys are trippin. Love for Noah or Varajao? Love for Bosh? Come on!

Love has been garbage this year. I honestly think the Wolves record would be the same or better thus far if Love had not yet played. BUT, he is still the only guy on the team who can put up 20+ on a consistent basis. He is one of the best rebounders in the league, and one of the best shooting forwards in the league. He is shooting something like 35%/67%/20% this season, those averages will obviously improve.

I can't believe I am defending K. Love, but I just think some people are having short memories and taking these trade ideas way too far. Most of those trades instantly cause the ceiling of this team to lower significantly. When K. Love gets his stroke back we will feel differently.

He is still a bitch, though.

But the Heat can't afford to keep all 3 of Lebron, Wade, & Bosh because of the new salary cap rules. If anyone is getting traded, it's Wade. He's the oldest and the worst fit on that team.

BonK wrote:
Amen. You'd need a ton of assets to get me to move Love, for sure. I thin Roundhouse is tripping saying that Harden for Love would be turned down by Houston.

I would trade Love for a scoring perimeter player AND a defensive stopper inside. Both. Not either.

Do you think Cleveland would trade Irving for Love? Serious question, not happening though since it makes no sense for the Wolves.

roundhouse wrote:
Fine, Pek and Derrick Williams for BOSH!

By the way, Bosh for Love is my least favorite. Gross. I hate Bosh way more and he isn't as good.

Love for Deng is pretty funny. But Derrick Williams and Noah should happen. They'd fit well together.

Love and Bosh in the frontcourt along with Kirilenko, Shved, and Rubio on the perimeter would give me love/hate schizophrenia with this team.

D-Will has one good game and is suddenly a better fit for this team than Love.

Jesus.

I think it's more that Wolfenstein just despises Love more than any feelings about Derrick Williams. He'll come back to Earth once Love starts regressing to the mean. Which will hopefully happen against horeshit Bosh tomorrow. 40 points on 60% shooting would satisfy my anti Boshina sentiment for the month.

Wolfenstein also HATES Pekovic and still thinks Wes has a future in the league.

daddyfatsax wrote:
Yeah, Williams lately has been playing like a more talented (and slightly less hustling) Cunningham, or at least picking up habits from HAM and Kirilenko rather than Love, Beasley, Wes...

Love is pissing me off. If Rubio's tears can kill whatever reptile crept up his ass, I'll be cool with him again.

Wes has no future in this league. But I do wonder if he *could* have had a future under Adelman instead of Rhombus.

Pek does his thing. He has that ugly flip shop down. Trade him for Brian Cardinal while his value is high.
