    How about Rubio and Love or Lillard and Aldridge? Seems those are the 2 tandems in question. For me, I think I would rather have my guard have that killer instinct and leadership than the PF. And for me I think Lillard will prove to be a better leader than all 4 of the players in question.

    So my answer is: Aldridge and Lillard

    Ben Golliver just said he would take Kevin Love on Talkin ball.

    Of course he did. Love is a far superior player

    Never build around a PF, unless you've got a clone of Tim Duncan. That's my rule. PFs don't win championships (Dirk's one-and-only was an anomaly that won't be repeated...and, Dirk is one HECK of a player).

    But since Love is better at EVERYTHING other than man/man defense I'd easily take Love over LMA.

    love has yet to lead the wolves to a 30 win season in his career, healthy or not

    thats just pathetic for "the best PF in the game"

    LMA has his flaws too and isnt going to will the team to a title by himself either, but love is more SAR than duncan

    I think the style in which he plays might make him a little injury prone. But they're never the same injuries so it doesn't cause that much concern. When healthy though he's the ideal PF IMO.

    next game he plays he will be 25

    if your point is that maybe in the future he will lead his team to the playoffs, then sure, i agree with that. its not outside the realm of possibility

    His opinion was clearly proven wrong. Gasol is not even close to being an elite PF anymore. Z-Bo's had an injury prone season and is not putting up the numbers he has previously. Love's been non-existant. Griffin's number are now and always have been worse than LMA's. Nowitzki's numbers are down and he's old.

    LaMarcus is the best PF in the game.

    I remember a couple weeks ago Dwight Jaynes on Talkin Ball said "When all said and done Aldridge will be the best PF in Blazers history."

    Offensively Brook Lopez might be the best, but overall I'm thinking Duncan or Griffin.

    I'm very curious to see Anthony Davis and Drummond later on in their careers though.
