    He's fucked if he goes some where else in a trade. He would get a max deal if he kept playing in minny, otherwise I think the world will see he's not a max player, but rather a stat guy who pads them on a weaker team.

    The post you quoted was about Frye, not Love.

    The Warriors with Love are very intriguing. I wonder what kind of package Golden State could put together. Probably something similar to what they supposedly offered for LA.

    Thompson/Lee for Love.

    That makes sense. With Love, there wouldn't be any three point shots left for Thompson, or any rebounds left for Lee. And their defense wouldn't really be worse.

    If you go by the tone of many other posters in here, he's not much of an upgrade to David Lee.

    He's a major upgrade in terms of talent, but his attitude is another thing entirely.

    I bet they're bashing the shit out of him right now.

    They should blow that team up and start over. Get a lotto pick from the Lakers, trade Rubio, and start over.

    Agreed. We should take Bricky off their hands to be Dame's backup. Send them MyLe.

    Wolves fans seem pretty delusional. They are acting like is is the end of the world, not even realizing that this is the best thing that could happen to them. Pek can get the boards that Klove hoarded.

    Maybe it's because it pisses me off that love gets the nod over la which is not deserved. But I honestly think that love will be an average player if playing on a good team.

    I can't believe they're not jumping onto George Karl. That's an automatic playoff berth. Many coaches don't want to coach way out in the sticks in Minnesota, but he coached in Milwaukee.

    What a wasted talent, and available for any mediocre team desperate to make the playoffs. They're sacrificing Love so they can hire the great Sam Mitchell? What??!!

    I would LOVE to get Gorgui Dieng. If he went to the Lakers for a lottery pick, I would totally kick in some filler to get back Dieng. He is exactly the kind of defensive center we need on the bench.

    I also think it's a good thing for them, they weren't getting anywhere with him for years - time for a change.

    Really? You think so? Why do you think Love/Westbrook would be such a good combination?

    Houston now mentioned as going aggressively after Love. I have no idea who they think they can trade for him, though.
