Hustle players with limited talent don't get drafted 5th overall. Hustle players with limited talent don't put up 20 ppg. Hustle players with limited talent don't grab 15 rpg. Hustle players with limited talent don't get 31/31. Hustle players with limited talent don't get a double-double in 53 consecutive games.
KEVIN LOVE IS NOT A HUSTLE PLAYER WITH LIMITED TALENT!
But, but, but,......he's a fatty and can't jump!
Seriously though. Even if we don't consider Love a focal point, that is no reason to trade the man. I wouldn't trade him unless we get something crazy in return.
Furthermore, I think Love can fit most systems just fine....as long as that system doesn't require both post players to be athletic stalwarts on both ends of the court. A bigman who can gobble boards, get to the line, and shoot the 3 has high value in any system I can think of.
