Kenny Atkinson tied with Spo for second best coach of the league? I had no idea who this guy was before game one.

Imagine leaving the franchise you took to the top and has been your entire NBA life just to join the Brooklyn Nets lol. I doubt that happens but I’m sure crazier things have

Do we even know if Love himself is making these memes? I’d guess it’s probably a PR/Media person running it.

Even worse is that we’re stuck with him for $4.1M next year and he’s useless.

If he duplicates this season's performance next year, I have no issue with him getting his full max the following off-season.

The price goes higher each year we wait this out.. im afraid they will extend him for the amount hes looking for.

I’m afraid they’re going to give him that extension at the amount he’s looking for too.

Love was brought here to be a cap filler in a trade like JRich was

Not that i ever thought the Hawks were ever going to deal him here but the Hawks really are the only team that will probably pay him as he’s there only draw to bring fans in.

That’s ironic considering we normally just sit on our hands every summer and trade deadline

With the emergence of Ware, Pelle, Jovic. The acquiring Mitchell and Wiggins.

And all the talk of Giannis being on the move.

Is the time right to acquire Dame for a low price?

He’s coming off of blood clots, Miami was his preference. If Milwaukee blows it up, do they open talks with Miami for expirings in Duncan, Rozier, Jaquez and this years 1st?

Is a line up of the following, a title contender

Ware
Bam Jovic
Wiggins Pelle
Herro Dru Smith
Dame Mitchell

There's a reason the bucks imploded when they exchanged dame for jrue.

To me thats a function of them not having good complimentary pieces. We have that over here

The blood clots make me nervouse

Instead of letting teams target 1 defensively challenged guard, you want another older and more expensive one to start next to him?

No team in the NBA has the complementary pieces for that. I'd take ben simmons before Dame.

Idk about Ben Simmons over Dame, lmao.

But agree with the rest of it. So many of us complaining about herro and his defense (rightfully so), and then half of these same people are talking about wanting Trae or Dame. Wth? If we do that we might as well become the Pacers or D'antoni/Nash Suns.

You need to pair Herro with guards that can defend, like Davion or Jrue or Lonzo.

Kevin love is not useless as a player... There have been many situations when his experience in close games would have been invaluable

spo Doesn't know how to use him.

For example...during that long streak of games, we were losing in the fourth quarter
