    Would you? There are rumors of a KLove trade before the trade deadline. Should the Blazers be interested? It would be interesting.

    In a word, no. But that's never how it works..

    It would depend on the offer- I mean if they were giving him up for Plumlee and scraps... sure you'd be dumb not to make that deal. But the Simmons podcast stated straight up for CJ- to me you're eliminating a creator and you're not helping with any defensive issues- he's beyond overrated there (watch the finals replays and you see Love being exploited all night long- or not b/c he wasn't out there, or watch the replay from last week and the Vines of him being abused- take your pick). He has had some rather big injuries- twice breaking his hand and then there's the shoulder (thanks Kelly!) plus a couple of other nagging back injuries. Considering PDX history with injuries and bigs... nah.
    The positives here- you've got a "star" locked up on a cheaper deal under the current CBA as opposed to what CJ will get, and he's on par with the Dame timeline. He also fits the Stottsfense of having a big away from the rim. Typically when you trade big for small- the one getting the big ends up winning... which is why it doesn't usually happen- however, just like the Love for Wiggins deal, I feel like the one who takes Love loses.

    I thought Love missed the Finals?

    Which is why he looked invisible out there.

    I wouldn't take Felton back on our roster so that we could even make that offer.

    CLE: Ryan Anderson+Gerald Henderson

    -Why Do they do it? Two quality vets on expiring contracts, both fit the Cavs style of play.

    POR: Kevin Love

    -Why do they do it? Solidifies the third offensive piece they need.

    NO: Noah Vonleh

    -Why do they do it? Get a young piece with ton of potential in exchange for an expiring vet.

    Say if we land him we go hard for Whiteside in the summer.

    Dame / FA or Draftee?
    CJ / Crabbe
    Aminu / Harkless
    Love / Davis
    Whiteside / Plumlee

    If it didnt cost us an arm and a leg id love to get love but the asking price will be high and Love is Meyers Leonard level defensively

    I started to write a joke about him not being there... phone rang... lost what I was saying and didn't realize I hadn't changed it before finishing my thought. Rookie move. Was trying to make the point that he's been banged up, and when he has been on the floor he's been eaten up in the pick and roll game. Good catch though.

    I can't believe anyone wants that nitwit on the Blazers. Have you forgotten the dumpster fire of a human being that is his father?

    It's all good. When that chick ripped his arm off during the Boston series, I lost any interest I might have otherwise had in Love. How embarrassing for him.

    Definitely a deal we'd have to "win" to make. CJ is too good to risk on a Love deal.

    Let him shoot some threes my friend
    If it makes you feel all right
    Sit him on the bench my friend
    If it makes you feel all right
    'Cause I don't care too much for Meyers
    For Meyers can't buy me Love.
