Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter for sure. And more.
But he is going to Lakers for Hill, Meeks, Gasol.
Guy wants out of Minny. Per his latest public statements he's tired of uncertain rosters and losing. What price would you be willing to pay for this cat? The Spurs would seem to be an organization he might consider playing for.
Do the Spurs have any assets that interest the Wolves?
Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter for sure. And more.
But he is going to Lakers for Hill, Meeks, Gasol.
If you assume that Love is put on the market, I don't believe the Spurs could put together the best package to acquire him even if every asset they have was made available.
He is not a player for our needs, move on.
A frontcourt of Love and Duncan would be unstoppable...inside-outside scoring, strongest rebounding in the league. Goddamn.
Defense wouldn't see any improvement though.
Consider Tony and Blair for example
They have Rubio. If they trade Love, they'll be looking to get an All-Star level big in return, not a PG.
we've got nobody else we can sell for Kev
Haha poor guy says hes tired of losing and ends up getting traded to a sub.500 team.
As bad as I'd feel for kevin love if this happened, I would love to see the Lakers double down on their strategy of "pack the starting five with as much expensive all star talent as you can at the expense of team chemistry and pieces that actually fit together in the lineup, not to mention a bench that isn't the worst in the league"

"Works."
Kawhi, Tiago, Jack (heck, even throw in a second rounder) for Love. Minnesota gets nasty, cap relief, and the great future of Kawhi.
We get whitey.
Smallball. Love > Bonner. (Sorry Matt, but he is). Amnesty Bonner for Kenyon Martin.
Can Green guard Lebron?
Considering the expirings, they would basically get Kawhi for "free", even if they couldn't resign Tiago.
If they would do that, they'd have enough next year for 2 max contracts with 9-10 already committed (including Kawhi). They could sign Josh Smith and Dwight Howard.
Nah, they're ed.
this guy is only in a few weeks on his max contract, doesnt honor it but wants a trade? gtfo
It'd have to be tp + ky with a third team that wants tp. Not worth it basically. But they should definitely trade high on Love now since he's made it clear he's walking.
Not.
ing.
Happening.
Not happening he's a narcissistic a-hole that more than likely wants to go to L.A. or any other big media town. Plus he has an over inflated price tag.
The wishcasting that goes on here...
There is ZERO chance we get Love.
Odd comments from Love considering his team is in the playoff hunt (largely with him out of line up) & now that he's back (shooting sub 40%) he's unhappy? Plus Rubio has been injured.
White Dwight tbh.
And this could stretch out all the way to the summer of 2015. I wish these guys could just shut up once they sign a deal. Love could have taken the QO, played out his rookie contract and become an unrestricted free agent. Instead, he signed an extension that was for less than he thought he deserved. Poor guy had to settle for 15M/yr, but his extension gives him the right to opt out of the final year and become a free agent in 2015. Now just go play basketball until that time.
Yup, I have no sympathy for guys like him. At least KG busted his a** while there and he just went as far as he could go.
u cant have ur cake and eat it...
What's the price? Team chemistry, wins over statistics, defense.
I am not sure what they would get for Kevin Love, especially if he wants out - they will not get full value. If I was managing SAS, I would offer up to the following:
Splitter, Jackson, 2013 and 2015 first round picks
for
Love
I would not give both Kawhi and Splitter. I would not trade both Jackson and Kawhi in the same season; we will need some continuity at SF...
