Minnesota shopping love...

-7 wins for the hornets. Breakeven for the wolves.

Are you serious with that trade?

It would be great to get Love, but there's no way I'm giving up West.

I don't want to give up much of anyone on this team except for Peja, unless we're getting someone that clearly puts us in championship territory.

yep. It's a total fact that a 6'9 jump shooting power forward who averages 16-6-1 for his career while playing with a top 10 all time pg cannot be improved upon.

I think with all of these trade rumors, people want to see a trade so bad, they forget to use logic. You have on thread talking about trading Peja and Thornton for Baron or Gilbert, another guy talking about trading West for Bosh, and now here we are talking aobut trading West for Love. With Thornton being such a valuable trade asset because he is a talented, young player on a cheap contract, I seriously doubt we waste that on trying to upgrade the PF position, a position that is already set at the starting level and back up.

DWest is better than Love. Why in the world would you make that trade?

At what? Ping pong? So far this year love is superior in almost every stat category. Not to mention bigger, more versatile, and hasn't reached his potential yet.

Btw, the way to argue against this trade is with chemistry not player quality.

I would not overpay for West
Love for West in some fashion I would do

Ariza is a similar player to West

I still think instant offense of Thornton should be kept

I thought all of the changes were being made to try and keep Chris happy? Since when is trading away his long-time teammate and friend on the team as well as one of his favorite assist targets for a guy with slightly better numbers this year going to motivate him to stay?

I've already said it won't happen and chemistry is why. But anyone saying west is a better player just ain't paying attention.

Love is a really really good player and one of the top 5 rebounders in the league

And just wait. In 2-3 years when the gasol/Duncan/Garnett generation of big men are gone/totally lost it "Kevin love is a top tier pf" is going to be the nauseatingly trendy thing to say.
