    Would he be better than Melo? And by that I mean, would he be a huge net negative for the team?

    I'd expect him to be a net neutral.... So yes, that is a HUGE improvement.

    If he would pass the ball, that would be a huge win compared to Melo.

    If Love was to be a Blazer that would be prolly mean the end of Melo and while the Melo 2 yrs have been better then i thought they would be -- Love if he can play at 80% of his prime would be an upgrade IF used correctly.

    if portland were to lose in the second round, would you consider them competitive?

    pretty sure you would.

    Not necessarily. It all depends on who you beat and how you beat them.

    I heard he played a pick up game once in No Po but it wasn't pretty. You got to understand there is a difference between Portland and Lake Oswego.

    Look. The Blazers paid Meyers Leonard $10 million a year.
    Don’t you think Kevin Love would be worth more that the vets min?

    no, because he can't stay healthy for a full season, you are realistically paying Love to play half a season.

    What are the rules on bonuses and incentives based upon games played?

    Could Melo, Love and Kanter play at the same time though?

    It’s unreal how people just don’t understand the NBA sometimes.

    kevin sat out games last year because 1. The team wanted to lose 2. He is pulling a Blake griffin type thing in Detroit.

    kevin has a very high basketball IQ, can stretch the floor, is a good passer for a big and is a great rebounder. Hes leaps better than Melo and the blazers need a lot more players with higher basketball IQ

    Kevin in a buyout situation would be a huge win for this team.

    and maybe I’m reading this wrong…but the whole LO/Portland thing…Kevin won national high school player of the year. Go take a look at the highschool players from that class…

    Too bad we don’t live in a world where we could have seen Melo, Love, Kanter on the floor together during crucial moments when we needed defensive stops. The comments alone would have made it worth it.

    Why can't we get Love for almost free? Isn't Cleveland itching to get rid of his contract?

    Love just left the US Team because he is not in Peak shape. Why would anyone want him. Can't even make it through the Pre Olympic training.
