And what if Rubio continues to shoot <40% from the field? Or is that not the new way to measure a PG's effectiveness anymore?
I'm sure his shooting will improve eventually. But his vision/handling is astonishing and that's where most of his value comes from.
Umm.. No. Just curious, who are those hybrid 4's you're referring to that would outplay Kevin Love and burn him on the court on any given night?
Love seems like a pretty straight shooter based off those earlier comments, and he was pretty effusive in talking about their offseason. So yeah, I think he's genuinely satisfied in what they did this summer to become a better team. Last season when Rubio went down they completely fell apart, whereas this year they're hanging in there OK without him, so they obviously did make some substantial improvements. I don't think the Wolves are a "lock" to make the playoffs, but I do think they'll be in the race with a good chance to make it. I just really don't see Love demanding a trade unless somehow they start to completely suck, which seems like a pretty far-fetched scenario. So yeah, I suppose "anything can happen" - LeBron could come here too - but I just think this is a really remote possibility.
We could sell them on Morris being everything they hoped Derrick Williams would be. And then tell them that DMo is the next coming of Dirk Nowitzki. Throw a PG like Machado in there, and voila! Kahn wouldn't be able to refuse.
PG-Jeremy Lin SG-Carlos Delfino SF-Chandler Parsons PF-Kevin Love C-Omer Asik reminds me of (not in terms of talent/greatness): PG-Danny Ainge SG-Rick Carlisle SF-Larry Birds PF-Kevin McHale C-Bill Walton
More like Parsons. Wolves already have Pekovic. Parsons is a young player with potential, you bet your ass his name will be the first to come up.
Love is one of the best scorers and rebounders in the game.. and shoot 40% from downtown.. and you think DMO or TJ can actually reach that level? And Love has no history besides the Scola stomp. You'd probably be mad at a grown falling all the time too
