    It most defiantly is. I hope he doesn't take this for granted the west is STACKED at the forward and he is going to have to continue his amazing play to be a perennial one.

    Really Proud of LMA, he's come a long way. The best part is, he's still got tons of potential yet to be realized. Sky's the limit.

    "...when a guy has that, he's practically, un-guardable."

    No matter what changes around him, With LMA at our core, the outlook is good.

    After 5 years of starting, having tons of unrealized potential is not a good situation. It's either the coach's fault or the player's.

    Blazersedge has an article over there about Love > LA > Griffin.

    Do you guys really think Love is better than LMA?
    Honest question because I havent had a chance to watch Love play.

    If you don't consider Defense part of the equation, perhaps this year he's been. FYI, article is by Bill Simmons.

    Overall, you'd be hard pressed to find any GM who would choose Love over LMA.

    "These guys" is Bill Simmons, who's known more for being entertaining than he is for any real basketball knowledge.

    on a bad team id take love on a good team id take lma. The reason being boils down to a few points
    1) LA is a better defender and can guard both pf or centera
    2) LA is a player you can run your offense through. A player that if he isnt doubled you assume he will score. LA also knows how to pass out of double teams. Love has nor shown that ability. While love is crafty in the post he isnt near as effeciant as LA. Love doesnt need the offense to flow through him to be effective which allows a lot of leeway in how you would want to run your offense.
