Kevin Love tired of twolves

[BUMP]

It means he's a TOSB....K-Love is in his prime right now....any great big man in his prime at least gets to the playoffs.

This is true tbh.

Like you said, if he truly was an elite PF he would be able to get his team to the playoffs over the likes of the Jazz

[ambchang]

i hate to say this.. but 05 lakers..

Well, Kobe was close that year, he almost made it the playoffs, which is good enough for the Laker fans.

I guess the two great players who failed to make the playoffs during their primes without significant injuries will be:

Love
Kobe.

I'm surprised you knew it seeing how crappy you've been posting lately.

But I haven't seen a big time restricted FA turn down a multi-year deal and sign the QO. But I'm sure you knew that too.

lol using random throw away lines and moving goal posts. Talk about terrible posting.

Sons, Kevin Love is classless, tbh... he needs to take lessons on loyalty from the beast Blake Griffin, who just agreed on his new 5 year, $95 mil extension without a single complaint...

That's the point. As much as these players complain about the team that drafted them, they never sign the QO to expedite their chances of leaving earlier. They can't have it both ways. They're more than welcome to leave their original team early but it requires an aditional season of playing without financial security. 99 out of 100 times, they chose financial security.

I bet alot of these guys who would sign the QO would end up getting traded somewhere. For example, if Gordon really wanted to leave NOLA, he would just sign the QO. No way the Hornets would keep him around. But if he signs the max tonight with Phoenix, its just gonna show that he cares about the money more than anything else because he knows the team will most likely match.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

They would get traded but still be a free agent a year later...

I'm not sure why Eric Gordon is relevant, I never brought him up as someone who went about it the right way.

I was just giving an example.

But if they sign a QO and get traded, couldn't that team sign the player to an extension?

$19 mill to throw down oops from Paul

Griff really manned up on thet one

[Josepatches_]

NBA is great these days.

LeBron was a great guy. Cleveland should love him.At least he never asked for a trade.


Howard,Love,Melo,CP3..... lol Stern can be happy

Are you deliberately acting re ed and obtuse?

The player signs a qualifying offer which makes him an unrestricted free agent a year later. The team that trades for him can't get to sign him to an involuntary extension, he'd have the same option he had before the trade. Doesn't that make any sense to you, or is your brain that dumb that you can't even get that?

Players that sign the QO cannot be traded without their permission.

so much for Hornets78 being able to find a problem for that solution.

CP3 handled his business a lot classier than those other cats, tbh...

That's true, but why would the team keep the player knowing he will bolt after the season and lose him for nothing?

I never said the team could involuntary sign him. But they would have an option to sign him to a long-term deal if the player wanted to. That's why Gordon could actually gain more leverage if he signed a QO and force a trade to a team he wants to sign with.

They probably wouldn't, but their leverage would be greatly compromised.

So you're agreeing with DPG and I that players who don't sign the QO shouldn't then, right?

What exactly was the point of bringing up the fact a player can sign an extension with a team that traded for him, I'm not exactly sure why that was relevant to the topic at hand other than in an attempt to go on a random tangent away from the topic.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

DPG, did you have any idea that if a player who signs a QO gets traded, he could sign an extension with the new team!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I'm not sure why that random, pointless fact matters, but I just thought it's very interesting!
