Sources tell ESPN.com that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Celtics are among the teams planning ‎to make a run at Love in free agency. Sources say that the Portland Trail Blazers, furthermore, are likely to pursue the former Oregon high school star in the event that LaMarcus Aldridge -- as many league executives expect -- flees the Blazers in free agency.

Will our front court be Love and Cousins? ONLY SPECULATION.

I just don't know what to think about that. Would be a fantastic front court.

But i'm just to excited with the idea of a young core Okafor/Randle/Clarkson or Randle/Russel/Clarkson.

Eh.. a bit scared to have 54-games Cousins, 30 games of Bryant and 50-60 games of KLove.

Our modern day carlos boozer

Figured he'd just opt in another year before the cap raise.

Wow, if the Cavs don't get a sign and trade then that Wiggins deal was horrendous.

I see him signing 3yrs with opt out in yr 2 just in time for the 106mill cap

I would give Love max.

Could Okafor/Love/Randle be the new Gasol/Bynum/LO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!

We need a wing dammit no more wes Johnson types!

If he comes hope B.Scott can get him to play some D

Cavs still the frontrunner.

Doubtful. Not because of Scott. Just Love sucks on that end.

Good to hear.

Please god no.

Not for the max. He gets hurt way to much, never played a full year, has a bad back, can't defend, and his stats always lead to losses. Even in Cleveland when Bron was out and he was getting Minny numbers next to kyrie, it was all L's out east.

If he comes for less than max sure, but ugh if he gets 19mil to start

no thank you

and also, he opted out because the new contract gets him about 2 million more per season. he essentially saves the tax by opting out. he's a cav lifer

Scott had the second most losses of all time for a coach to coach 1000 games

His nets pre Kidd were 23/29 on D

His hornets lost 28/29 of their first games and were bottom 5 out of 30 teams on D

His cavs set a franchise record 26 straight losses and were bottom of the league on D for every year of his 3 year tenure

The lakers were a bottom defensive team, worst than Dantoni


Where the **** has the myth come from that Scott coaches D? His teams everyone has been have been historically bad at it. Kidd/Martin made his stupid ass competent looking and so did Paul/Tyson but it's never been something he did. Hell Booz got him last year when he said all Scott does is talk about and not practice or scheme it. Don't let him blow smoke up into your system. He's a bad def sieve coach and Love is a terrible defensive player. They would have to come up with ways to our score the PF he matches up with that don't include him padding his board count

With his health in his career and back problem?

I figured he would sign a 2 year max with a 3rd year opt out

What was the point of this? Ah, just more useless posting by you. Do you even understand what was said there?

Love sucks on defense. This is independent of who's coaching him.

Dude in the op said I hope Scott can get him to play d. Next dude says love doesn't play d so t won't be Scott's fault. Point was pointing out Scott can't coach it or teach it, love doesn't play it, and it would be no way to hide it if they were paired up because there's nothing either guy can do to not have us bent over there

Cousins and Love? Yes please!
