    And what happened in the playoffs we couldn’t do nothing or get anything in the paint offensively.

    Imagine if we had a legit low post scoring threat when the 3 isn’t falling or offense can’t get anything going.

    It would add another dynamic to this offense.

    Not to mention running some high elbow plays with a big who has the passing ability of a guard.

    It's fuzzy, but I think I was impressed by how strong Love was against Draymond (in terms of physicality).

    LMAO...his contract doesn’t end until 2023, and he’s played in 60, 59, and 22 games the past 3 seasons

    Harden, just go dawg, don’t waste your prime here

    they couldn't get anything going there because it was taken away and capela decided to lose any sort of fight he had in him. that doesn't go towards this spacing you're talking about.

    you're talking about a legit low post scoring threat. not something love is either. so you seem to be in favor of Kevin Love but it shouldn't be for these reasons youre posting about because he is none of them

    Splash Rocket!

    I doubt he is as hungry as CP3 was when he first arrived - Leb0rn gifted Love a ring.

    I mean he did okay 81 games...

    .... over the last two years!!

    Lol... I like Love. Always have. He used to work people down low and then add the occasional three.

    Now, 30 years old. Can’t stay healthy. Half his shots are threes. Etc.

    Would I take him for nothing? Sure. Add Jimmy Butler and Kevin Love to this team and lose nothing. That’s be a great offseason.

    Not sure what to think about this, Love would still be our third best player, maybe second depending on how Chris keeps up going forward. But at this point, considering his injury history and the salary, i'm just not a fan, especially if the main target is still beat Golden State. Love rebounds well and spread the floor, but would still get killed against a small lineup.

    Overall i'm not shocked though, makes sense for Morey to look into every possible target, and tbh, it's not like we can wait for who knows what, we're not in a much different situation than the Lakers, we need to add a star, just not sure it's Kevin Love, would take Jimmy over him anyday, even at a higher cost.

    Would also love to know what is his market value though, the contract isn't necessarily horrible, but all things considered it's definitely not good, i wouldn't be shocked if Capela has more value and maybe even suitors.

    LMAO!!! I don't doubt it. The reason Morey does A-Z is he wants to make "value" trades. And to get the best value he has to have as many options to pivot to. You never know what moves can be uncovered unless you look. I appreciate Morey turning over every rock he can.

    Kevin Love only makes sense as a buyout player.
