Timberwolves looking to trade Kevin Love


Recommended Posts

He wouldn't sign here long term

 

This.

 

He's going to hand pick his list of teams and tell the TWolves to get it done with one of them. I've seen Chicago and Golden State as the favorites on his list (LA teams obvious), as well as Boston or Phoenix having the assets to make a run at him. Doesn't mean he likes either Boston or Phoenix though.

 

A team like the Hornets, where he's expressed no interest in going, won't give up the assets to get him on a 1 year rental unless he says he'd re-sign here long-term.

He wouldn't agree to a long term deal and we don't really have the resources.

They want a top five pick, we'd at least have to get Detroit's pick this year and then ship them Walker, MKG, and Henderson.

The problem we are having is we don't have large enough contracts to pull off a trade for a guy with a contract 14mil+

Deron Williams also wants to be traded but like Love, we can't make a deal without shipping over 5 players and a pick.

Honestly, I wanted KLove when he came out in the draft and I still love his game, but sadly, I don't think he's a winner or a leader. Would I want him still? Yes. But, would he really make us better? Not certain.

You are absolutely correct about!

I would say for sure he is an improvement over McRoberts so I don't see how he couldn't make us better

No doubt, but it's weird... you would think a guy that avgs 20 and 10 at the very least, with frequent outbursts bordering on insane numbers in those categories, would be leading his team to playoff berths and wins... but he doesn't. And it's not like he has had bad teams. They have had more talent than our team did this year, and yet, they struggle.

Iverson was my favorite player after Jordan retired, but he was the same way. Huge numbers, but wasn't really a winner.

I really think he would lead the t wolves to a 3rd seed if in the east. The west is so stacked right now that theres really good teams not making it to the playoffs there.

Y'all are crazy. You realize he's been on the Timberwolves right? The same team Al Jefferson wasted very productive years on.

That's like saying Cam was "not a winner" when the defense couldn't hold a 4th quarter lead.

Love is one of the best players in the nba. Lol

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
