    Any interest in signing him as a buyout guy?

    Then he's not going somewhere where they have a chance at winning.

    Is Love getting bought out? I thought I saw a report where the Cavs GM said they were going to keep him.

    I don't see how a buy-out is beneficial to either side. Cavs have a good chance for a deep playoff run. Love is a better player than what they would find on the FA market right now. I don't see any incentive.

    Nurk and Love on the court together would be so boring.

    apparently the team in pursuit of him is miami.

    0 reason for him to want to come to portland instead.

    must be true, Shams didn't mention anything about injecting pain medication into his gut.

    Can he play defense? No?

    No.

    I would but he probably wants to go to a contender, not a pretender.

    he can't defend but at least he can rebound and hit the 3.

    Might be boring but he would add rebounding and size and the Blazers are in desperate need.

    If you can get a veteran like Love that can hit a shot and add some size/rebounding for cheap you absolutely do that.
    If they don't get pushed into the tax for him why not?
    How many posters on here said they want Cousins? Whiteside? Noel?
    Kevin Love brings everything any of those guys bring and probably more.

    I never understood why this guy is such a bad defender. I get that every big man is not a shot blocker but why can't he rotate, help, stay in front of a man, etc. Seems like an effort issue the times I've seen him play. Typical jackass from Lake Oswego.

    I know it was some time ago but sure played D when it mattered (when he wanted to?) against Curry to win a Championship.

    I understand hyperbole, but let's not pretend that Love protects the rim like Whiteside and Noel.
