The Lakers would love to have Love if he had KCP's contract

 

[Mecca]

There is no way LA wants Love. Just no way.

And I know he could play today.

In place of Davis or to go along with him?

I actually think it's no to both unless they strike out completely in 2019 free agency.

He'd probably be plan C.

But, I'd probably take a Morris twin on a cheaper deal.

You see the list of guys available in 2020?

It's not stellar, unless guys sign one year deals.

Hey, just to wade back into the pool of unsubstantiated rumors....


Did you know LeBron was having dinner with Kevin Love the day Kyrie called to apologize?

Lmfao

I wonder if the LeBron/Kyrie conversation sounded something like this.

I'm so sorry LeBron, please take me back! I had no idea how tough it truly is to be the # 1 guy for a team. I'm not built for that. I'm a follower, not a leader. I realized how wrong I was to leave you when the Celtics made it to game 7 of the ECF last year w/o me.

Yes, the price of his contract is a factor.

There's that douche passive aggressiveness rearing its ugly head again.

It would appear that you are the one who can't tolerate a difference of opinion.

You can't just say agree to disagree?

Did you mean to sign that, "the pot"?

 

[Mecca]

No doubt....and we already have Porter, Mahimni, Hayward, Noah and many others.

Before the first half of this Season, Blake Griffin.

Let's not forget John Wall.

Yuck.

 

[Black Adam]

You were the one who said missing games was the issue. Nice deflection though.

And you were the one that cried because I said klove was hurt too much for my tastes...

My opinion...

Do kindly write your congressman if you don't like it...

 

[Mecca]

Oh, no...

I waive my troll flag loud and proud.

 

[tlance]

If you want to tell me they wont get Love because of cost I can buy that, but to say Lebron wouldn't want a player like him is absurd.

I didn't say that.

But every roster decision in the NBA needs to be viewed through the lens of the players' contract vs. his actual production. That is always implied in this forum.

Love is a good player, but not an attractive trade asset because he is on a long term contract, has a lot of miles on his tires with an injury history and he is a flawed player because he doesn't defend.

The Cavs aren't getting anything significant back for him unless they take back an even worse contract. Because there are some NBA execs (not all) who view Love's pact as one of the worst 10 contracts in the entire league.

Dammit my minds in a different place right now. You said "the pot" & I went looking for my weed.

 

[Mecca]

I think LA needs shooting more than houston does.

Agree.

Houston needs size.

I'm hoping they get Deandre Jordan if he gets bought out.

Let's make it simple....

Would you rather have Mike Conley Jr. or Spencer Dinwiddie?

I'm going Spencer for 12 mil per.

If he came on the cheap like that, then I'd take that chance...

On a completely different topic for a second you think the Prince of Provo makes it back to the NBA next season? I'm pretty sure the Jammin' One has figured out how to play D on the other side of the planet. He could be a real asset for any contender.

It is probably one of the hardest contracts to move but I also understand the Cavs paying him because well....they have to spend it on someone and he is a solid player who actually wants to be there.

Shit, the Dubs can make any player a Champion.

So, why not Jimmer?

Hell, maybe the Rockets all give him a look...lol

Seriously, he should stay where he is.

Big fish in a Dixie cup, fuck a pond.

Yep, totally different scenario.

People would be lining up to get John Wall if he had Dennis Shroeders salary.

Rumor has it that him & Starbury settled their little feud by splitting a box of wine & gobbling down a jar of Vasoline.

No doubt about that. I still remember seeing that video of his for the 1st time & thinking it was a joke.
