Cavs: Blatt: "Kevin Love isn't a max player"

[Chinook]

Love is fine, tbh, he is what he is..

A team that signs Love, a known defensive liability, but surrounds him with other defensive liabilities, and literally no competent defenders to negate his flaws? That's just terrible roster construction..

As I said back in the summer, the role they wanted Love to fill could have easily been filled with a cheaper player. Love didn't make sense for the Cavs at all.

But there are teams like the Spurs (post Duncan) who could slot in Love effectively. Spurs need a first option and have more than enough defenders to cover up Love's deficiencies on that end. Even GS would have been a good fit for him.

Also at people thinking he's better than Bosh.

Blatt is mediocre and now publicly throwing his players under the bus, but Media has already carefully set up the narrative that no matter what happens, it's LeBron's fault that he's getting fired

Meanwhile, Kirby can go through coaches like used toilet paper with nary a peep from Media.

Stop sucking Lebron. Put Pop in that roster and he still wouldn't win the East with how things are going.

Love is one of the most empty stat paders in history. Never seen him dominate any game, just coast to 20 and 20 or whatever.

Even young Pau Gasol in the Grizz could take over games and took his team to the playoffs although he got bounced easily. But as I said even young Pau Gasol was more of a difference maker than this ghost called Love imo

George Karl said it best: If you ask NBA coaches and scouts, there are 12, maybe 15 max/franchise players. If you ask agents, there are 35.

If every knowledgeable basketball fan on the planet identifies you as a defensive liability, you aren't a max player. It's that simple.

So how long before you flip flop on LeBron like you did with CP3 and fivehead, imo?

Nothing to flip-flop on, tbh. LeBron has rung as the alpha, something that neither Fivehead nor Choke will ever do.

Love is far more important than anyone not named Lebron in the Cavs. If you really want to point fingers, it should be at Kyrie who completely disrupts chemistry on the court.

Anyway his comments have been blown out of proportion.

Kobe led Paussy surprised Lebronze can't lead Love...no pun intended btw...lol
