What would Morey be willing to give up? Curious to what you guys think

his value is at an all time low so wolves wouldnt trade him unless they wanna rebuild again.

we'd have to give up a rotational player, future first, 1 or 2 2nds, and 1-2 fillers

With packages that the Wolves have allegedly turned down out there, the only player I bet the Rockets could trade for him would be James Harden. I doubt they would take anything less than that.

Asik, Parsons, and a couple of 1st rounders at minimum probably.

Wolves turned down #1, Waiters and Thompson for Love. I don't think we can compete with that realistically speaking.

Things that we don't have and can't give up

James Harden, plus a bit more.

Harden's value is higher than Love's is right now.

That really doesn't matter, and it isn't true.
That's what it would take. Which was the question asked.

is this the same james harden that had a superstar breakout year? for the same kevin love who stank it up the samae year and has yet to make the playoffs?

well if thats what it takes, we gotta get on top of that. we'll give you asik, 2 future firsts, and an on demand chicken and rice stand. maybe a lil crack for good meaasure. LETS DO THIS BITCH, we boths bout to takes this

LOL

Kevin Love - drafted 2008

TWolves record since Love was drafted:
2008-09: 24 wins, 58 losses (games played by Love: 81 out of 82)
2009-10: 15 wins, 67 losses (games played by Love: 60 out of 82)
2010-11: 17 wins, 65 losses (games played by Love: 73 out of 82)
2011-12: 26 wins, 40 losses (games played by Love: 55 out of 66)
2012-13: 31 wins, 51 losses (games played by Love: 18 out of 82)
TOTAL: 113 wins, 281 losses (games played by Love: 287 out of 394)

The T-Wolves had their most wins with Love only playing 18 games.

That's great man, why do you want him then?

When healthy, 2011-12, Love was #2 in scoring efficiency behind LeBron, and #2 in rebounds, behind Howard;

Oh, in 2010-11, he was #2 in scoring efficiency, and #1 in rebounds, ahead of Howard;

Harden is the starting point.

Wanting a guy because he's great, then pretending he isn't, may fly in Texas, but we know our maths up North

Never said that I did. Still think he's a jerk for stomping on Scola's face

Scola is a very ugly man, no harm done

but that hair makes up for his face. cmon u telling me if he put on some makeup that you wouldnt tap that? i've always wanted to bang a wnba center

Now, that's not even fair... basketball is kindof a team sport...
* by season's starting year

2012: EVERYONE was injured. Love, Pek, Rubio, Bud. You name a good player on the squad - and they didn't play.
2011: ANTHONY RANDOLPH third best player on the team. Wesley Johnson, Derrick Williams, Martell Webster, Beasley, and JJ Barea all playing huge minutes. Of those, BEASLEY probably had the best season.
2010: Top 6 in minutes after Love: Beasley, Luke Ridnour, Wesley Johnson, Darko Milicic, Corey Brewer, Martell Webster. I wouldn't want any of them on our team as the 11th man.
2009: Top 5 in minutes for the whole team: Brewer, Al Jefferson, Jonny Flynn, Ryan Gomes, Ramon Sessions. Kevin Love didn't play due to concerns with his defense. As opposed to the other guys who could play neither defense NOR offense, NOR rebound. Basically they played the dumbest team imaginable.
2008: You really expect a team led by Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, and Randy Foye to win games?

Don't even try and pin anything outside of possibly last year on Love.
Still, last year, even if he'd been healthy all year, they still wouldn't have been that good due to the other 3 injuries.

I still haven't figured out what happened. For 5 straight years, David Kahn shows all the intelligence of a really stupid cucumber, then puts together an incredible team out of thin air, THEN gets fired when they don't perform up to par due to injuries that he couldn't possibly have predicted or controlled.

Makes absolutely no sense. It'd be like if Chicago tried to break up the best team ever after winning their second threepeat in 8 years.

Oh wait.

Yeah, business decisions rarely follow the most sensible pathways. Go fig.

Well my point was their team was BETTER without Love than with him.

Of course they were, last year. Injured players aren't known for their ability to be game changers

So...

Call me wacky, but is this trade not awesome for all teams?

Just throwing it out there.
