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

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
