As much as I'd like to see AD in Celtics Green unless Ainge gets a guarantee that The Unibrow will resign I wouldn't trade Tatum.

I agree....but the part that was amusing was LA says they wont get in a bidding war with the Cs. Have to imagine because they know they'd lose?

How about we look at Minny after Love left (they fell off the map after a 40 win season) to NO minus AD.

Love wasn't alone there.

The Wolves with Love had 2 seasons over 30 wins. In one of them, he only played 18 games.

The year they won 40, they had a solid NBA roster. No stars, but many good players. Kevin Martin averaged 19 per game. Nikola Pekovic averaged 17 and 9. Rubio did his thing, Corey Brewer was another solid role player and they had a young Barea off the bench.

The year after Love, Rubio, Martin and Pekovic combined to play 87 games. The only players on their entire roster to appear in more than 50 games were rookie Wiggins, Gorgui Dieng,rookie Lavine, Chase Budonger and Anthony Bennett.

No wonder they struggled.

yet the "broken down player" plays as much as the guy you do want to trade for.

Weird.

LMAO at putting Love and AD in the same sentence....unreal.

 

[LAD]

You could not kick your own ass more if you tried. AD is also hurt. Guess LA wont want him?

And AD has already been cleared to return. Of the two, who has played more games? Here's a hint: your guy has played in FOUR games this far.....FOUR.

I am still waiting for you to quote that post.

Spoiler alert...

You can't because it doesn't exist.

Well they both are professional basketball players. So it's not that crazy as long as the comparison stops there.

But we are talking about a 3-4 year window and it's not like they'll be attracting a FA with the money they'd save with Siakam. 20-10 guys who hit 3s are rare ya know.

They are.

But, if Kawhi walks, they are much better off with Siakam.

If Kawhi stays, the same can also be true because of his defense....depending on playoff matchups.

In the Finals, Siakam helps you more against the WArriors than Love.

already quoted and gave you the # of the post.

No need to reply, as I know you'd break the code by admitting a gaffe.

Well....we have a new board jester......it looks that way at least.

Has anyone mentioned this yet? Kyle Lowry & Valanciunas for Mike Conley & Mark Gasol. Ran across an article about it.

 

[tlance]

pretty simple. Lance said they'd get 2 firsts for Love. You of course backed him. Even after you claimed they couldn't get any asset of significance for him.

I get it's not in you to admit your logic was off base, so I wont ask you do it.

But nice try with the "da fuq"? If you don't get it, check out the post yourself.

The reason Love has little trade value is BECAUSE of his extension. That is what we have all been saying.

The 2 firsts post was completely hypothetical talking about if Love were expiring. In other words, it is total fantasy.

Seriously, this whole argument started because @ChiefsLakers67 said he'd take a oft-injured Davis. But, not a oft-injured Love.

This fruitcake can't grasp the concept of why....lol

Yeah, they Griz rejected it.

They are engaged with the Hornets on a Gasol deal.

Heard that was immediately rejected by Toronto though, right?

Not sure. Didn't read the article. Just saw the headline.

Really? Thought it was the other way around

Bath salts.

 

[LAD]

Nope....but it's funny you don't think the loon is the one who said the cavs can't get an asset for Love, then agreed they could get 2 firsts for him.

What?

 

[tlance]

Not sure. Didn't read the article. Just saw the headline.

Looks like I was wrong.

See how easy that was @WiggyRuss and @dtgold88 ?
