    Espn ''Kevin Love to undergo arthroscopic on his left knee''

    I'm no doctor, but that doesn't sound good. I honestly feel for the guy he just seems to work hard and does nothing but put 110 percent effort on the court. Injuries really mess up certain players as in Tmac, Yao, Bynum and MAYBE Howard also. Good to know it's not just the Rockets, but I hope Love doesn't end up like that.

    I've been cooling on him for a while. I think it's going to take years before I get over T Mac and Yao. I don't want to go through that again.

    I have not wanted him for a while.


    But, I would read what arthroscopic knee surgery is before you make it seem so dramatic.

    Microfracture knee surgery, totally different story.

    Say no to DH and Love.
    Josh Smith is more healthier.

    Sorry about that I just heard ''Knee Surgery'' and thought nothing but a serious thing. Either way I'm still worried about his health he has been out alot the past 2 seasons

    I honestly think that is the best route to go plus Smith plays defense

    top 3 defense for his position. Asik + Smith + Parsons we WILL be a top 6 defensive team and top 5 offensive team with that same line up.

    Yes. A knee scope isn't going to ruin his career.

    I'm no doctor but I have had a scope before. They tell you to do your rehab exercises or scar tissue will develop and you might have to have another surgery to get rid of it. Is that the case here? Love being lazy with his rehab?

    Pre-injuries Kevin Love I would be willing to trade everyone not named Harden to get, but don't believe Minnesota would even answer the phone.

    As Love's injuries pile up, I still would be willing to trade 3-4 top shelf commodities for him, but at least believe we have a chance.

    His injury issues are things that only the Rockets can determine if worth the risk. Because I'm not knowledgeable enough. I will say that if Love declines the way T-Mac did from his Orlando days, I'd trade for him in a heartbeat.

    By this time next year, our rooks will be well on their way. We won't even be thinking about him.

    He's intentionally hurting his stock to get him out of the dreads in Minneapolis. Come to daddy Kevin!
