There are things you think and there are things you say... Pop wouldn't say that about his players to some reporter...

Wow. If this is true, this is really something. Blatt is absolutely in the wrong here.

I bet it's a language thing. Love hasn't signed a max contract.

Well he's not, but he shouldn't have said it.

Roll out the trade rumors.

Leaving out the "yet" in the topic title is pretty significant.

Excellent move considering Love can just walk away this offseason.

Not exactly something you wanna say to about a player who could walk, especially after trading for him for basically their future and plan to give him the max

Unless this lights a fire under Kevin...?

but nonetheless : LMAO!!!!!!!

Maybe it's to put some fire into Love? Can't think of any other logical reason why he would say something that dumb.

*cringes* Wow Blatt.. This isn't Europe, someone should have informed him that players here are entitled brats who don't like to be called out publicly. Flip tried that with Love and it didn't go over too well. Pat Riley tried that with Lebron and got the same results.


Honestly if that quote is real and there's a video, Blatt should start looking for a new job within the next few months.

I like the balls from Blatt. Kevin Love needs to work on some aspects of his game to help the team improve. Maybe a slap in the face is what he needs. Without Lebron, the Cavs are terrible, and Love is part of that.

This isn't the way to motivate NBA players, Blatt. This is the way you break their egos, and piss off their agents.

He shouldn't have said it to the media but its a real question. Everyone only asks if Love will stay, when I'm curious if Love continues not to heavily affect Clevelands chances of winning if they will want to extend that max offer

But yeah, I was at the game tonight and Blatt wasn't having a good time. He was animated, pissed. He also knows his seat is warm.

I think he meant he's not making max money now but will in the future.
