Nope. I'm not a big wolves fan. I don't like the NBA much so I normally root for players. If wolves are fun to watch(like now with Love and company) they are the team I'll root for. Other than that I watch for players usually former MU guys.

So, in reality blazers are a team I pull for too. Watch them a lot because of Wes.

Just no way anyone can say Aldridge is better. Objectively, that is.

I would disagree with objectively. I really dont think there is a huge enough of a difference between the 2 to say one is clearly better.

They are both very very good PFs.

I am not here to bash Love at all as he is my favorite player in the NBA. But as a Blazer fan I watch all their games and see how special LA is.

I often wonder if the two switched jerseys would Love have the same #s with Portland as he does with Minny, the numbers that you use to make your case as to who is better. Interesting to think about.

LA is very good, but he's not at Love's level.

13 and 10
15 and 9
11 and 11
12 and 12
10 and 7

Are these impressive numbers for supposedly one of the best centers in the league in the playoffs? YES OR NO

I excluded his numbers vs Miami last yr on purpose to show how much of an avg player he is when he's not playing Miami


What were the rest of his stats? Are you also taking into account what his pressense alone is doing to change the game the opposition is playing. Ya know, things that may not show up in stats, too? Hibbert is a game changer, period, against any team. That's a fact.

Hard to say, but Love wont be going to OKC. He will want a max contract and they could of kept Harden if that's there plans.
Im sure he could fit if they didnt have Ibaka and Perkins on the books.

If Love lands in LA, itll be on the Clippers and not the Lakers.

Love might go to LA, but I doubt they get a top 1-3 pick this year...unless they go into serious tank mode and shut Kobe down.

No MOST LIKELY not a top 3 pick. However I would love to see the Lakers catch lightning and get one of the big 3 in the 2014 draft.

They could of moved Ibaka and kept Harden, which they didn't do. Doubt Love goes there.

Don't see the Clippers either. Who would leave the Clippers front court now to make it work?

Soooo..., Oden is for sure going to be healthy and be able to play really well after hardly playing at all for years? Why isn't he playing at all right now?

Saving him for the playoffs. He's going to play in some games in the 2nd half of the season

Aldridge already shoots more than love. I think Loves outside game would work even better in Portland since teams actually have to respect Lillard and Matthews as shooters.

Loves opportunities would be insane. You say you don't think there is a huge enough difference, true. Except Love leads in EVERYTHING.

Nothing wrong with being second best. Aldridge 3 years older just finally getting double digit rebounds.

Yeah, I'm seeing mock drafts with the Bucks and the Jazz getting the top picks and nobody wants to see that :lol:

Hmm..how about Derrick Rose, Love and Noah?

We know he isnt going to stay in Minnesota with Rubio busting

He's leaving Minnesota, but guessing where he will go, where other guys will go, is a big guessing game. Chicago is possible. Not sure what there plans are for Deng though and Boozer.

Oden was the right pick...he just couldn't stay healthy.

Do you really expect anything from Oden?

Not really. He's just there to make it more difficult for the Centers to score and to rebound basically. He is a much better post defender than Bosh

there are only 3 maybe 4 teams Love will sign with.

And they are massive markets.
