    A core of Harden-Love-Asik is solid but without Lin and Parsons we wouldn't be the run n gun team we are now. We'd lose our identity and downgrade on defense AND offense as much of our offense is predicated on transition basketball. Lin being more integral to the run n gun offense and parsons to a slightly lesser degree, I'd say our core we must keep is Harden-Asik-Lin-Parsons in that order. Losing Harden or Asik would be unthinkable IMO. Lin as well to a lesser degree. Then Parsons.

    Correct. It's also on the same hand he broke earlier this year. Not good.

    Lin and Parsons are replaceable, if they're all it takes to get a player like Love you do it 1000x over.

    According to Minnesota fans, Love admitted that he did not come into this season in optimal shape (where as he came into last season in great shape) and this is causing him to be a step slow. Yes, he was out with a hand injury, but a hand injury wouldn't seem to be the sort of stuff that stops you from getting in great shape cardio/leg strength/running- wise, no?

    If this is true, I wonder if Love has just mentally checked out of Minnesota, kind of like what happened with TMac in Orlando and Pau Gasol in Memphis before they were traded (remember these guys' team had horrible records in their final seasons with the team). Not sure anything is gonna happen right away, but this off-season is a possibility.

    I don't care if he allows his man to score 25 points a game, cause guess what, he scored 26 a game last season, as well as grab 14 rebounds per.

    GTFO of here with this not giving up Chandler or Morris or Asik or whoever. He put up 30 and 30 games last year. Wtf? Who does that?

    Love. Dont know if the conversation transitioned, I read the first three pages or so and read a lot of 'I wouldnt want to lose chandler'.

    This is kevin love were talking about. Statistically, probably the #1 PF in the game
