he makes no sense, how dumb can he be?
Its clear he doesn't want to be in Cleveland and playing with Lebron is not what he thought it would be. Love wants to go back to being the number 1 guy on a team so he can stat pad again. Its obvious that this guy is going to go to LA during the off season.
Dwight took a pay cut to leave the Lakers.. yeah sure Love is gonna take a pay cut to join them
The Lakers will offer him the max granted their max is lower than what the Cavs can give him but I still see him going to LA. He'll get to be on a bad team where he will be able to jack up as many shots as possible and not get criticized for it. On top of that we all know He will also get endorsements by playing for the Lakers that will make up for the money he lost by not resigning wit the Cavs.
Not shocking that Love is enamored by stats. Never mind that neither he nor Uncle Drew ever saw the light of postseason on their own.
I kind of feel for Love, tbh, there isn't much of a difference in what he was doing in Minnesota and what Anthony Davis is doing in New Orleans(Davis is obviously a much better player, before anybody argues), yet one of them is given a pass for missing games and missing the playoffs, while the other guy is constantly bashed for missing the playoffs and putting up "empty" numbers..
Well it depends. Since teams don't share a salary cap, each team has their highest earners. It's not about paying all stars superstar money. It's about having the right players around a generational player to make the team function. SA has no superstars, had none last year nor the previous year. I think TP is the highest paid guy on the team at something around 15m. Teams that bust the salary cap don't do any better than teams that don't. The roadblock is typically not money, but getting someone to want to play in your system, in your city. Free agents can get the same salary in a number of different venues, it's endorsements that matter to many of them and you can polish a turd like SA but it's still a turd... errr... quaint little city.
Then there's the fact that fans and owners are looking for different things. We both want to win, but owners have to consider costs and revenue. We just consider wins and salary cap.
Davis is playing in a stacked West, with what should be a lotto team fighting for a playoff spot. Love has played more time in the West when it wasn't so stacked, and never came close to the playoffs. Love never even finished at .500 as the man.I kind of feel for Love, tbh, there isn't much of a difference in what he was doing in Minnesota and what Anthony Davis is doing in New Orleans(Davis is obviously a much better player, before anybody argues), yet one of them is given a pass for missing games and missing the playoffs, while the other guy is constantly bashed for missing the playoffs and putting up "empty" numbers
The 2014 Timberwolves were ranked as the 9th best team in the NBA according to SRS(for comparison sake, this year's Rockets are ranked 9th), tbh..they had a ton of last-second losses, and played in a tough Western conference..worse supporting cast, and just as many injuries as the Pelicans, too..
What's even funnier is that the 2014 Wolves with Love were the 12th ranked defense in the NBA(despite starting Pekovic and Martin, 2 defenders that are even worse than Love), while the Pelicans with Davis/Asik are ranked 24th in the league
Lol that's why you can't trust stats alone. ..
WestNile with 6 turnovers before the half, taken more shots than all other starters combined. MVP
Damn couldn't post fast enough, make it 7
I thought it was a bad trade as soon as it happened. Wiggins is gonna be one of the next superstars in the league and they traded him away for a stat padder to make LeChoke happy.
8 turnovers... Russ is melting down.
