He's lucky a numbers man is in charge, I'd already be trading him to a bottom dweller. F you too Kev, Okafur, Crawford and a couple unprotected firsts, done deal, have fun in Washington ;)

I would love Aldridge. But there really is no way.

I would love to trade him for Howard - LA is going to lose him anyway. Maybe he would like fishing and want to stay.

Rubio - AK - Howard would be nice Big 3

Lakers aren't going to trade him and we're not going to get him. Nor would he want to stay here.

we just need dwill to harness that confidence he gets when he plays with rubio.

Oh I don't think we should trade him, not this year anyways. He's just lucky we have a very nerdy GM and owner. His spoiled brat routine wouldn't play out so well with some owners. He signed the deal, he should shut up and play.

He's lucky eh? What would the big bad owners do to him? The guy has ~$60 million coming to him guaranteed.

Trading him to a far crappier team is probably the funnest :)

He'd be even luckier if ownership and the front office weren't such jokes. Would be awesome if Love wasn't oblivious to the timing and tone of his outbursts, though.

I think you're underestimating bring traded to Detroit, Miluawkee or Sacramento.

Charlotte. I would love to get MKG (move AK to the 4) or Anthony Davis back.

hmmm ... wonder how he would respond to half the minutes during some of his best years for starters. Yeah Taylor eats it, but lets not like act like he couldnt make his life a living hell. Glen Taylor can make this nut-job his puppet if he chooses to - and not blink an eye. Point is: Love DOES NOT hold the cards.

Only Adelman can cut Love's minutes. But that's not going to happen, Rick is a lot smarter than that.

I hate his behavior, but as long as it doesn't influence the team chemistry it's tolerable. AK said in post-Mavs game interview that we have something special over here, that there is no guy who ruins the atmosphere in the locker room, unlike most of the cases he witnessed.

Love seemed like he could mess it up with last interview, but apparently he didn't. If it happens again this season, I think that will change.

Why? Well, I'm from Europe, and I have never seen any player say such things to the media. it's the matter of culture and bigger power of the owners and smaller power of the players. That is just unacceptable over here, so I'm sure AK, Pek, Shved and Rubio will not tolerate it anymore, no matter how much they like Love.

I see you don't follow this team very close.

Read this article, then come back to me:

Aww I disagreed with you, lets get testy and defensive about it.


Dude, you don't look cool when you are not even trying to make an argument. You look dumb and petty.

The same Glen Taylor, who's desperatly trying to sell the franchise?

The same Glen Taylor, who knows that this club without Love is worth significantly less?

Yeah, that guy is not going to do ****.

Love can break into his office and take a huge dump on his table leaving a note "From Kevin, with Love" and he ain't gonna say nothing.

Read an article about KLove going to Bulls for Mirotic and other assets.
These rumors about Love getting traded. Lol We're just starting to make a playoff run and we're talking about trading one of our best players already :-?
Trust the PRosas!
