    Marvin Gaye made a point that war is not the answer, but given his contract and injury history, Love isn’t what’s going on either.

    I think Love for CJ should be included as an option in the poll. If Blazers trade for Love without giving up CJ, then they are committing around $110 mil for those 3 players alone over the next 3 seasons. That doesn’t seem like a good move IMO.

    Trade CJ for Love, then start Simons at 2 and get ready for a more balanced roster next season.

    I don’t want Love, or rather his contract, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Olshey did, especially if he could swing it without including Collins or Simons.

    Sure, trading for Love has several negative points. His injury history, and huge contract come to mind. But look at the bright side.

    He will improve the Blazer's defense. Ugh!:smiley-bigsadeyes:

    In a way Love would improve Portland’s defense because of his rebounding. And he still grades out as a better defender than Melo. If contracts weren’t a thing it’d be a good basketball fit.

    not if Portland is trading Whiteside for Love...and it's kind of difficult coming up with a trade for Love that doesn't include Whiteside

    unless of course it's Bazemore + Zach + 1st

    Olshey wouldn’t trade Whiteside unless he was sure about Nurks return. Or at least he better not. But trading for someone like Love wouldn’t be just about this season.

    Bill Walton - Sam Bowie - Joel Przybilla - Greg Oden - Nurkic - Zach - Skal

    there's no reason to believe of all people, Kevin Love would be the one to break the curse

    The contract is the reason TO do it. We’d have an All Star locked up for 3 years.
