I do not want Kevin Love. He'd never do as well as he is on any other team besides Minnesota. Pass.
God, Love making outlet passes to Parker to start fast breaks would be awesome. Too bad Minnesota has no reason to trade him until the 2014-15 deadline.
We don't have the assets to get him. We've got some of the small pieces, but Minnesota would want at least one named all-star calibur player in any trade and we don't have one under thirty to surround with one of our many good assets to couple with such a player.
Good point, and unfortunately Spurs draft picks aren't worth too much because everyone knows the odds of it being a high pick are very slim.
No need for him really.
I don`t want him here, he will not fit in. When Timmy retires the Spurs will go after someone on the market. Who? Not sure or they will find some player in the streets of Algeria who know one ever looked at and will be gold. Do not go trading away a ton of players for one that will only stunt this team. There is a lot of youth on this team and Parker still has a long ways to go before he is done. Splitter is doing what he needs to do and the fact he is showing progress is great. He looks smooth and effortless. Will he ever dominate? Nope but he won`t need to.
Spurs don`t trade away talent unless there is 3 people in the wings who can step right in. This crew needs a year or so more before it can go mainstream and even then the Spurs will add a high profile wing before then.
He shouldn't have signed that extension a couple years ago......should have left when he had the chance.
Great post. Chemistry is a precious commodity and right now we have it. We shouldn't get rid of both our small forwards (1 who is supposed to be a major part of our future) and Tiago Splitter who is showing great promise. No doubt, Kevin Love is talented. But adding him will not improve our depth, and it will not improve our chances against OKC. Diaw can guard opposing 3's this is true. But he would be more effective guarding Lebron James who looks to score in the post more than say, Kevin Durant. I say we roll with the punches and don't trade anyone unless it's almost guaranteed that we will improve via a trade. And this trade leaves a lot of questions. Remember, OKC messed with chemistry and their present winning streak aside; they might be in a worse position against us in the playoffs.
I'd trade any combo of players Minnesota wants outside of the Big 3 for Love. Kawhi + Splitter + whatever + picks = small price to pay for a stud bigman who would fit perfectly next to TD, TP and Manu.
It'd never happen though, unfortunately.
unless they want to salary dump and we can throw in jax to make the numbers work. give 'em splitter, kawhi, and we'd probably have to add jax and another player from their team for salaries to work. i mean i love kawhi and all but iv had this fear when i think of the spurs after duncan retires. we got lucky getting duncan in the middle of the robinson era, odds are slim we get lucky again in the draft and pick up another hall of famer. having Kevin love would keep us competitive long term
Spurs need to be thinking ahead and preparing to tank for the Andrew Wiggins/Jabari Parker draft. Two awesome prospects. Double chances of drafting a stud if we can somehow engineer the worst record in the league.
I don't think he would worth the price asked.
He may be a great fit with the big 3 (I am not even sure he would be that good) but he is also a player I would never build a team around.
No trading Kawhi. Apparently a Jackon + Splitter trade would work...as well as Jackson + Bonner, Jackson + Nando(replacement for Rubio if he ugh...dies), or even a Jackson + Blair would work.(any of these trades plus draft picks)
More than likely these trades would never happen. I wouldn't care for them to get rid of Bonner Blair, or Nando but I'd hate for them to get rid of Jackson seeing that he wants to retire a Spur. It's better than losing Kawhi though.
I dont see the Wolves give up on Love, but if they do we have the necessary parts to do a 3 way trade with someone else involved. Maybe Cleveland or another bottom feeder. But wiith a 4 yr contract Love is set for a spell.
The only way the Wolves trade Love for anyone is if they receive a franchise caliber player in return.....
My first reaction is that Minny would need a franchise player in return. But two things mitigate that somewhat:
1. Apparently Minny doesn't think Love is a max player since they didn't max him out.
2. It's David Kahn. The guy who once compared Charles Barkley to Darko.
