Funny thread on at least 2 counts.
1. 5 pages based on a fantasy trade started on bleacher report and picked up on local talk radio.
2. So many posters that would hesitate or not make the trade at all.
lol will not happen.
But since he entered the NBA I always wanted Love to be a Spur, that would be awesome

damn, that was started by Bleacherreport? a trade idea on ST started by one of our under 20 posts members usually has more legs.
and yes, always again surprised about the potential of this board to overrate the value of Spurs players and underrate all others.
just waiting on the poster who claims he would only do it, if the Wolves trow in Rubio.
(and consequently Kill_Bill_forever to jump in and explain to us that even that trade he wouldn't do, b/c Rubio is more overrated than Splitter)
Funny thread. We all know that mid-season trades are not the way of the Spurs (just look at the "success" the Mavs had doing this).
We are 33-6 ... I want them to win it with this group of players!
Are forgetting where we are, my friend?
Spurs fans are a sentimental bunch...which makes them overvalue certain players. Most of us know that if Minny actually contacted the Spurs with this it would be done in a heartbeat.2. So many posters that would hesitate or not make the trade at all.
George is our Kobe-stopper. Dude ain't afraid of the fading star that is Kobe da Brat. I'd LOVE to have K-Love on Spurs Roster, but NOT at the expense of George Hill. NU-UH!!
bull .
no way. Kevin Love?
dream on
Has this trade happened yet?
Huge rumor if there ever was one!
IMHO giving up our best perimeter defender would be a grave risk.
Also giving up Tiago before he is even integrated into the system would be a mistake as I think he will prove to eventually be a better player than Love in the long run.
But it's just a rumor and a far-fetched one at that.
lol at people who wouldn't be willing to give up Hill for Love...
mmmm Tiago would become a player at the same level of Kevin Love overtime. Me not likes
what??? (i hope you are sarcastic)

that's where this all comes from. a (bad bad) article about ten places where the author thinks Love would fit. including 10 trade scenarios. some are even more ridiculous than the "Spurs trade". seems as if the author doesn't even have basic knowledge about trade rules. however, considering how many posters wouldn't give up Hill for Love, he might still find his peers.
I like Tiago as much as the next guy and think he'll be a fine player for us one day, but he's never going to be someone who can put up 21 & 15 on a nightly basis while shooting 40+% from 3pt.
This! Anyone who thinks otherwise is completely delusional.
It would leave us with a 10 man roster. I'm cool with that... not sure how the NBA would feel about it.
This thread would make sense if you replaced "Spurs" with "Lakers"
Won't happen, and yeah, any team would do such a trade in a heartbeat. Still, the Spurs' interior defense would take a turn for the worse.
It's actually an interesting hypothetical, because I don't think it's a slam dunk from either perspective.
Typically, I am a firm believer that whoever gets the single best player in a deal "wins" the trade. But you also have to take into account that one of the Spurs' greatest strengths this year has been depth, and that would take a major hit by losing Hill. The nice thing about the depth right now is that anything we get from Anderson upon his return is gravy - the team doesn't really need him to make a playoff run as is. But if you remove Hill, then you NEED production out of rookie who has spent most of his first season on the training table.
You also have to take into account that Love is terrible defensively - Amare/Boozer level of bad. He's still a net positive player, but that takes a lot of shine off efficiency stats.
Also note that Hollinger sees the trading as netting the Spurs -10 wins. I know, I know - LOL @ Hollinger, but still...
At the end of the day - I think the Spurs would do this and the T-Pups would NOT. But I don't think it's as clear cut either way as many make out.
Hahahahahaha, no way the Wolves would EVER trade Kevin Love right now.
Weather delay in Minnesota. Maybe tommorrow.
The Spurs would dismantle the roster for a franchise player only.
This team could win a championship, and the trade would jeopardize that. Blair has a season with the Spurs, Love would be completely new, it would force the Spurs to play with Duncan / Bice and Bonner all the season.
And it's not clear that Love would bring another championship after Duncan and Manu retire.
Hill is the best perimeter stopper the Spurs actually have and the sixth man. Anderson may be good, but he's still a rookie, Manu would have to return to the bench, which would bring problems for the guard oriented offense the Spurs actually use.
There would be too many problems.
The Spurs can matchup fine with the Lakers bigs, they could last season, more so this season with the addition of Splitter and with Blar and Dice in their second season.
what the are you mother ers smoking???
seriously this is like dumb and dumber. First the ones that think Minnesota would even consider that trade, and then the ones that would say no to that trade, and then the ones that start comparing Splitter to Love
Pretty sure that part is wrong ... its -10 for the wolves and +5 for the spurs.
Either way, Spurs would do this in a heartbeat. Trading the express lube stars for Kevin Love would be a no brainer. I didnt mention Tiago because he really doesnt exist. lol.
