Kevin Love 

Post#1 » by Mezotarkus » Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:40 pm

If Minnesota can't work out a sensible way to have Jefferson and Love on the court or otherwise identify a role for Love - would you agree to a trade that sent Wallace to Minnesota for Kevin Love?

Such a tough question. I mean, Crash is the heart and soul of this team. He means so much.

But it's hard to ignore the benefits of a trade like this.

If we could sign Tyrus fairly cheaply and feel that he could start and play as our SF, it might be hard to say no.

Well, to say yes to this deal means that you think that Love is a multiple all-star, since we're trading a guy who is one and is a two-way player. That said, Love is young and has had some pretty remarkable success so far... and will be a lot cheaper for a long time.

Gun to my head, I think I say yes.

The way Wallace is playing right now in the first quarter against Chicago its really hard to think of trading him away. He's just carrying the team.

There is no way we trade Wallace. He is having a career year and looks like he will continue to get better. His contract is very affordable for an all star. Wallace is the ultimate Larry brown player, a hustle player who is such a good athlete it makes him a star. Wouldn't mind getting Love but I am happy with Diaw and Tyrus Thomas. Wallace is untouchable.

I think you guys should think about moving Diaw. I dout Diaw could get you love. But I dont think trade Crash is the answer.

We've never made the playoffs with a white guy on the roster.

No way Slam... Even if that's the case! Wallace is a beast on defense, neither Love, T2, nor anyone on the team can replace the energy that he brings to the team. Maybe for a Durant or Carmelo type player but not Love.

I would give up any combination of players for Durant.

Are the guys who are saying they would do this trade being serious? Because I'm assuming you're joking.

Did you know that was Ammo's favorite player? If we have any chance of luring Ammo back to Charlotte, it starts with Dirk.

No! If ever the Bobcats will trade Crash, might as well we trade the whole roster.

Im so proud of you guys I think im gonna cry.
This trade I would have to say yes gun to my head but I would want 24 hours to think about it first.
Kevin Love is my favorite nonBobcat besides Kobe and I still might say no but honestly Kevin Love is a young PF who you can build a team around, it would solve alot of finanical problems and if LB can do for Wallace what he did for Tyrus then with Tyrus there it is hard to say no.
Also Gerald Henderson seems to be an excellent prospect and you could always move Jack to the 3 and Gerald to the 2.
