    Count me in for trading Harden for Love, but only if we also end up getting Lowery!

    Lowery
    Love
    Howard
    Parsons
    Beverley

    I think this starting five has a good balance of offense/defense and is still fairly young!

    No. Love isn't worth Harden.

    Patrick Patterson though, I'll have to think about.

    I'd probably do Harden for Love, Rubio and some draft picks.

    No. I wouldn't move Harden for Love. I want Howard, Harden, and Love, thank you very much. I'm greedy. Moving James would be lunacy, in my humble opinion.

    Why don't you go take a look at love/pekovich interior defense numbers. They're close to last in the league. Makes sense we would say that because he's white though, actually no it doesn't because that makes zero f****** sense

    I would trade OP for a 3rd world country poster that can't speak English and a bag of chips. It can't be anything worse than Carl's irrational love/hate relationships. If up to him we would have kept PPat and trade Harden's 4 year contract for Love's expiring, causing Love to leave after the season.

    Way to go Carl. :rolleyes:

    I was right about the Patterson and Robinson as players-- Patterson is a contributing regular for the Raptors whole Robinson remains mostly useless.

    Robinson had a good game 6 vs. the Rockets but is otherwise not a positive difference maker during both the regular season and during the Blazers two playoff series vs. HOU and SAS. He certainly did not warrant the kind of excitement people showed for "OMG MOREY GOT A TOP 5 PICK!"

    And I am right about Harden, too-- top offensive player, terrible effort on defense. The objective numbers say so. Commentators who watch a lot of NBA like Zach Lowe say so. Even Kelvin Sampson says so.

    Nothing irrational about my opinions about either Robinson or Harden. Just look at the numbers and watch some game film.

    Fact is, you just can't have a "franchise player" or "team leader" exhibit this kind of lack of defensive effort and hope to really be a title caliber team. A franchise guy may not be talented on defense-- Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were not the greatest and neither was Dirk Nowitzki-- but he has to at least show consistent effort and know what he is doing. Harden has too many embarrassing moments that make even fans and commentators roll our eyes, imagine what effect it has on teammates like Dwight Howard.

    Why would the T-wolves get more than full value in a fire sale?
