    Of course we want all star players in Portland. And we want to get them for peanuts.

    But this conversation is about an over the hill, injury prone player with an Albatross contract.

    Kevin Garnett is an all star. Let's get him.

    Love spend half the season being injured. So if not playing due he in Street close all time how that helping us. To injured prone I say no.

    The Celtics have a point guard. His name is Kyrie Irving.

    Kevin Love sucks and even when he doesn't suck - he gets injured.
    Maybe Harkless and Meyers for him is ok i guess... wouldnt even throw a pick or Aminu for him.

    Blake would probably bring the impact we need, but his contract is a bit suicidal.

    Have to be drunk to trade an up and coming star at center who is only 23, for an aging, always hurt PF. Get real! Now I like K Love, but only for the right price. Hark, Meyers, a 1st OK.

    Ok. This cake has baked. If that is the case, why would you want to bring in someone who is essentially the leftover crumbs of an old cake at that kind of price. Would he help in some ways? Yes. Is he going to make a significant difference? Perhaps on court but definitely in the salary flexibility (or lack thereof).

    If this cake has baked and we're looking to make a new cake, let's not start with yesterday's leftovers please.

    Oh, the 2nd year kid who just turned 21 isnt a starter yet, so we should trade him?... no.

    If I was pressed Id say Zachs upside is a good starter, who may be a really special defender. I dont think hes all star material. Im definitely not saying trade him, but if the deal was right I dont think Zach is so good that he should be 100% off the table either.

    Zach's upside is higher than how good Lobe is now. All-Star games don't reward players like Zach and Nurk (ya know, players that defend).

    I think for bigs it plays a decent role. Look at guys who got in last year Al Horford, Draymond Green, Kristaps, Anthony Davis, Giannis, sure theres a few who dont play defense well, like LMA (he’s gotten better on D though), KAT, Cousins. They are all supremely talented scorers though.
    Love right now is injured, and we havent really seen him in a non lebron oriented scheme in a while. Love like Bosh before him had to sacrifice a lot of his game to fit in with Lebron.

    Zachs got potential, but is he going to even be close to ready by the time his rookie contract is up? Zach still looks like he’s a year or two from taking off, if he does take off.
