Lakers meeting with Love; update: Love announces return to CLE

Figured a thread for specific players is ok once a meeting is actually reported.

I know Love is a polarizing figure around here but I would absolutely want him.

Same thing as LMA. Sign a cheap defensive center and rotate with Randle where Love sees some time at C.

I dont want him. Only reason I would want him is to see all the Lebron fans cry about it.

I doubt it. Love has been consistently saying he wants Cleveland plus I'm not a big fan anyway.

Just like they had a shot with LaMarcus. Just re-sign with Cleveland like you've already intimated you would do about a thousand times, Kev.

We can thank LeBron for all this nonsense.

I doubt it. It would take a special kind of stupid to leave more money, Lebron, and Kyrie for a rebuilding team.

We have a shot with everyone, but I don't think we will be signing him. I would love to have him. I hope we get a big name this summer.

I feel like he's dicking with us... I hope we don't give him time to make a decision.

Yes, he's a horrible fit... in Cleveland. That's why he should bail.
He's way more than just a spot up 4 and being misused has hurt his value.
Go Mitch.

All indications are that he's going to resign with the Cavs so it's a bit strange that he's bothering to meet with us.

Unless the agree to modify their contracts according to take advantage of the Cap jump and Kobe's expiring contract...

Don't think it'll happen but I think that may be what we're trying to sell these guys on. It's a swing for the fences move that I'm not entirely against, just because I don't think these guys are individually, game changing for us. Any of them... And they're obviously going to be nutty-expensive.

I don't think we have any shot of Love, regardless what we all think of adding him.

My guess is our best sign a big name may be Greg Monroe. With the Spurs already trading Splitter and re-signing Danny Green for cheap, I think LMA may agree to sign with them as soon as he's out of the meeting with the Spurs, which is where hes at now.

How much will Tyson Chandler get?

Love + Tyson would be terrific.

Return to Los Angeles Lakers
