    So he hasn't reported to his current team either.

    I can't wait for all these people who want Love to go off on Olshey in a few months for actually trading for him.

    Which was something agreed upon between the team and him. It’s not optional. This “debate” is pointless anyway as Portland wouldn’t trade for him if he wasn’t going to report. But Memphis and Portland are two different situations as well. Memphis is rebuilding. You add Iggy, Love, and get at least Nurkic (and most likely Collins as well) back and you’ve got a team that can play with anyone.

    Anybody else think that we would've traded for Love already if we hadn't've signed Carmelo? Can't decide if that's a good or a bad thing.

    No, I’d say the contract is a bigger reason why we haven’t traded for Love yet.

    It is his way of bumping this thread so that we fully understand that he wants Kevin Love here.

    As if there aren't tweets out there that have to do with Kevin Love?

    Of course, but I think we would've made a trade for a pretty major scorer if Carmelo hadn't've been conveniently available.

    Re: the contract. It's hard to feel sorry for Love - if he really wanted out of Cleveland, he would be negotiating a contract. He's absurdly overpaid for the foreseeable future and Tristan Thompson at least has adopted a mentor role for the young'uns.

    Players rarely ever renegotiate contracts in the NBA. In fact the only one I can think of is Ryan Anderson allowing his contract to be partially guaranteed last year so the trade would work from Houston. Even then he would've made the just about the same money if he was on a team for the minimum this year.

    Seems like a weird clip to use to say this is the immature approach...? It wasnt his man who scored and if he helps he Has a terrible angle, and leaves his man wide open.

    The fact that they rarely do it does not mean they couldn't if they wanted. He doesn't want to because he knows he'd never get anything close to that again.

    And you have of course read the CBA and know for sure that he could do that?

    He wasn’t paying any attention, like at all. If that ball was kicked to his guy he wouldn’t have been anywhere near him.

    Of course the guy guarding the ball handler was nowhere close to his man either. :). I did get the part that Love wasn't paying attention.
