Kevin Love could be out until the All-Star break: Does the...

Sounds like Love is going to be out even longer than mid-January--- which is fine..... it basically means the Cavs will keep losing at a very high rate, which for this season is fine.

And honestly, one of the silver linings i kind of took from the article is that after the Cavs had 4 seasons of playing deep into the playoffs (even though Love missed some of those games at times), it is definitely not the worst thing in the world that Love has a season like this where, when recovering from a toe injury, the rest of his body gets to rest and recover for the stretch run of his career.

Not that Love is the player Dwade was- but i remember the year Wade sat out a ton of games with an injury, the Heat tanked and got a high lotto pick (that they wasted on Beasley unfortunately), and Wade came back the next year.

If thats what happens it would not be the worst thing for the Cavs--- Love basically takes this year off, rests, the Cavs thence lose more games, and he comes back next year mostly rested with a high lotto pick next to him in a draft that is very top heavy.

It's what built the early part of the Spurs also. Robinson got injured and they got Duncan.

Not that I think we will see the same here.....but it can work.

I have a confession to make.....I didn't watch very much of the 4th quarter of the NC game.....I watched Dateline.

So it makes him that much more trade-able?

LOL.
i dont think he is getting traded at all...i think its POSSIBLE he gets dealt in the offseason , but i would ball park it at under 50%.

Love's game was never based off of athleticism. He is great at shooting, rebounding and passing. He gets great position with his rebounding- his contract actually decreases as it goes along. I think he would be a good fit long term----

but if they get an offer they like and believe is beneifical they will do it- but they arent going to trade him just to trade him.
