Lakers: Love Drama----Wants out

[StrengthAndHonor]

Btw, there's nothing wrong with what Rubio said. He stated Kevin Love is not a "Vocal" leader which isn't a shot. Some great players are not built to bark orders and lead like Magic. Dwight for example may be the elder statesman in Houston but its safe to say no one is looking for his advice. He just lets his game do the talking. There's a huge difference between Compe ion leaders and Cultural Captains.

Another reading comprehension fail. I said he's not a number one option, because all he focuses on getting his numbers. He is better suited on a contending team as a second option or third where that's all he can worry about.

There's no comprehension fail. Your posts aren't even consistent on most levels. I'm trying to be really respectful here but you're really not one of the brightest in the site.

Dirk is a good comparison. Can't play a lock of defense but is highly skilled offensive player. But unlike Dirk, Love can pass and grab rebounds

Love is comin' to Phoenix.

Congrats son.

Knicks IMO are in a worst position than the Lakers, especially if they sign Melo to a max contract. If winning is Love's priority then neither team is appealing. I think Boston is probably better than both. Brad Stevens is legit, and they have tons of future draft picks, Rondo, plus cap space that can build a contender in the Eastern Conference in a short amount of time.

Melo can actually play basketball at a high level. Bryant cannot and makes $30m AAV. Worse situation my ass.

Rubio droppin' truth bombs tbh. I just don't see him as the kind of superstar that can lead a team all the way to a championship (even if he had a "vocal leader" on his team like 2011 Dirk). He'd need another superstar.

Missing the playoffs in the weakest conference ever

I am not a Knicks fan so talking about their poor performacne doesn't bother me.

Jodie Meeks is your best player. You have the tiest roster this side of Milwaukee to go along with the biggest TOSB in the NBA eating nearly half of the cap while being physically unable to perform.

No FA is going to want to sign on for that loser and be Kobe's whipping boy.

Your course of thought seems limited. No one is building around a championship team in Kobe's last stint as a Laker, any sane Laker fans know this the moment #24 signed his contract.

Acknowledging my point does not mean that I am limited although it is an interesting posturing tactic I have seldom seen used.

Love and Melo in the same front court seems like an awful idea. I could see the Lakers getting Love.

Best case scenario that I see is LA trading for Love this offseason. Him coming in and Kobe trying to come back at the same time which you know is going to be a loser. Now when the fans turn on the team, the treatment Love will get will make what Gasol got look like the Beatles at JFK.

It will be the Lakers in the 73-79 except no Kareem so a lot tier. Then Love could go elsewhere after the season.

Congrats son.

I'm glad we only had to give up Alex Len to get him.

[Bulaien999]

It just made lakers situation worse, having to give up their pick they worked so hard to acquire to pick him up instead of in free agency

[Chinook]

If the Wolves want to trade Love before the draft, that favors Houston and Boston, as the Rockets and Celtics are the only teams among those rumored who aren't trying to use cap space to complete the deal. I think Minny waits until July, though.

[DPG21920]

Ya - Minny already came out and said they won't trade Love pre-draft.

[The Batman]

Love thinks Dwight's a drama queen and doesn't want to play with him. Yeah he is, but that's the pot calling the kettle black.

[The Batman]

Also, Love thinks of himself as a winner above Dwight and Harden.

[TVI]

Melo and Love to LA along with Ariza and Kobe.....that will be a compe ive team tbh I think K Love is a better version of Bosh. while a Kobe and Melo backcourt would be awesome

Lol...Kobe & Melo...there's only one ball, and they both can't hog it at the same time.
