    Because it's the Lakers with two All-NBA players. Maybe 3 depending on how long Bryant plays. The NBA won't let that team lose more than 30 games, and Westbrook is really freaking good, even though he's a bit selfish at times.

    Kobe and Westbrook would get into a fistfight. It would be awesome.

    Houston will aggressively go for love, lebron, and melo. Because the rockets are the most entitled franchise in the NBA.

    I want Love to go to Phoenix because I like the Charles Barkley comparison. It would bring up some very interesting conversations.

    I'd like to see Love go to the Lakers for their draft pick. Hey we know they'll be able to get a top free agent when they have cap room, but the way they'll become an elite team is also having young studs on cheap rookie contracts. They definitely have a chance of getting one with a top 6 pick this year. If they trade away that pick even with a star or two they won't be able to assemble a legit contender.

    It's being reported on ESPN radio Love has made it clear he will not re-sign and go FA. He did tell them if traded 2 teams high on his list are Golden State and da Bulls.

    Chicago with him is a very impressive team. Love/Noah frontcourt, with Butler on the wing, and ROse being asked to do a lot less? Definitely battling with Miami an Indiana in the east for top spot.

    Payback?

    I think it's a perfect time to spam their board with Buck Angel pictures.

    I don't know about pay back. Just go post a "Hello from the Blazer fan base. How are you guys holding up?" They'll melt down on their own for you.

    Reggie Miller said on the DP Show that a David Lee and Harrison Barnes for Kevin Love has potential to happen.

    That's a laughably bad trade. Reggie has no idea what he's talking about. GS has no shot at him if they aren't adding Thompson in the deal. Barnes' value took a major hit with his mediocre past season.

    I have a feeling the Celtics are in the best position t make something happen.

    If David Lee is being thrown around as a legitimate option, we should dangle Batum and like a Trob to them, then try to sign Deng.

    We can't trade Batum to the TWolves since we matched their contract to him. It's a CBA restriction. Part of the reason Neil was happy to let Indy actually sign Hibbert directly instead of matching our offer. We can trade for Hibbert.

    It's a shame Kahn isn't running things there anymore, he'd probably take Batum for Love straight up.
