I've never liked Love as a player. Would I take him in a trade for Howard? Yes, since Howard is walking anyway, and we need a PF that can shoot 3's, but to me, Love's play is nearly inconsequential when his team really needs him to come through.
Kevin Love $19,689,000-$21,165,675-$22,642,350-$24,119,025-$25,595,700 Tristan Thompson $14,260,000-$15,330,435-$16,400,000-$17,469,565-$18,539,130 Iman Shumpert $8,988,765-$9,662,922-$10,337,079-$11,011,234 4 more years of the big L and TT. 3 more years of Shumpert. At those salaries... lol
I don't recall but I think Mark Jackson was the one that told the Warriors he didn't want to trade Klay for Love when Jerry West was thinking about it. Good decision since Klay is not only better but Love would have been hurt for the Warriors last year and the Cavs probably would have gotten a healthy body instead of Love.
Warriors look like they are toying with he Cavs. Once it gets close they will just go on another 8-0 run to get it to 15 again.
So Lebron really thinks the Cavs match up better with the Warriors than the Thunder, huh... I don't see it lol
