Kevin Love is so much better than Blair, you'd have to be on crack to not realize that.

In case you haven't noticed, the game has changed since the Jordan era. Dirk hasn't propelled Dallas to a championship; Kobe didn't win one minus Shaq or Pau; D. Howard never one one; Blake Griffen's Clipp's are sporting a losing record. The bottom line is Love makes his team better and that's with or without the overrated services of Beasley. If Love came to the Spurs, he would most definitely improve their chances of winning a championship. K. Love doesn't have to be the man at age 22 and he wouldn't be if he dawned a Spurs uniform.

I dont believe any source that this trade has even been considered by either team. But hypothetically this is a great trade for the spurs in terms that they get a player that is a great rebounder and post player down low. He may never reach the level that Timmy was at. but then again who will? probably no one. Blair is a hustler that is a great role player, but he will never be a franchise player or anyone that a team can build around. if he were 3 to 6 inches taller he would be easily but the fact is he isnt. another reason i doubt this trade will ever happen is i doubt the spurs have given up on tiago. I know that he has only played in basically scrub time, but the whole spur community was excited to finally get him over, and im hoping hes better next year. With all this said. I would gladly give up both tiago and Blair for Kevin Love, just based on this season. Giving up George Hill would be tough for a lot of reasons starting with hes a great defensive stopper following that he is a great spark off the bench, but in the long term (especially cause Timmy is getting old and Love is pretty young) doing this trade wound be a good move, in the short term im not so sure.

Plus i doubt this trade is actually a real possibility cause i dont think kahn is really that insane. I honestly think this wont happen, although i think the spurs would love to get their hands on kevin love.

Kevin Love is a beast and a franchise player. Only someone who doesn't watch games would disagree. Minnesota should get better offers though.

now thats a stupid idea!

BS thread but if I had the chance I'd do it. I'd hate to loose Hill but it's harder to find good big men than good guards.

As far as matching up with the Lakers goes, Love's 0.3 blocks per game would likely not help much. (Even Bonner blocks more shots/game.)

So Blake Griffin doesn't qualify as a franchise player?

If there was any truth to this rumor, the spurs would not be interested in Love for his blocks, or lack thereof.

No mid season trade that I can recall that didn't include the above listed people has ever produced anything significant. I am talking about modern era, since Jordan.

Show me that Kevin Love can propel his team to even a playoff spot, make his teammates better and do more than what Blair could do in his rookie season minus the jumper and maybe I would think more of it.

Hell, actually I don't even know which of those were mid season, maybe only Pau... not sure when he joined the Lake show.

Sorry bro., but your intent here is just crazy talk.

Try 7.

Lets go for 8 . . . Lots of Love and all that.

If it were for Blake Griffin, you pull the trigger, but not Love.

I would enjoy a 3 page explanation as to why you feel this way.
