    Kevin Love.

    He is 6'7"-6'8" tall without shoes in real life, and his height and length have been comically overstated since he came into the league, but that sort of doesn't even matter.

    He's proved time and time again that he's one of those players with glue on his hands who can just predict caroms and rebound...that...basketball. He's no garbage stat player.

    His three point shot, spreading the floor, also gives him added value over Aldridge.

    But it's a very fine line distinction. We're talking about probably the best power forward in basketball versus a guy who isn't so shabby either.

    Yeah you're right, but that's why Harden already has more value than him.

    I think Harden will be a all-star this year and is a top 5 SG. At 23 years of age.

    Any ways I'm all for getting either player In Aldridge or Love

    he's the kind of guy you trade away your next 3 first round picks for, plus your two best players / young talent / maybe cash considerations. good luck.

    I'd give Parsons, Motie/Jones(need one to back him up), Patterson, and Smith.

    Doubt they take it.

    We should have never traded Batum to them in the first place. Rudy Gay all over again.

    Well, I doubt that LA is for sale for any price. But I will admit that with him we would scare the living be-jesus out of teams in the playoffs.

    How old is Hickson? Maybe he is the missing piece.

    Lin
    Delfino
    Parsons
    Love
    Asik

    I don't think Love or LMA is possible, but a Love/Asik frontcourt would be so good rebounding, it would be unreal.

    i'm really starting doubt the ability of fans lately. do some of yall not understand how to match salaries? have any of yall read the CBA and understand what type of contracts a team could offer and how much they would cost?

    some of yall post just to post. how do yall have as many posts as me, but have been here for like a month? goooooo outside. make friends. get laid.
