You're skipping merrily past my point but I'll indulge you.

I of course meant negotiate in terms of putting across his potential as a basketball player going forward. His agent doesn't do that, his play on the court does. A bad year on an ill-fitting side doesn't erase the 26 and 13 he put up last year in the minds of front offices and GM's looking for a star.

His 26 and 13 shouldn't be erased, neither should his failure to even lead a team close to even sniffing a .500 record.

he will get a contract based on his pre-CLE performance, what hes done this season as a 3rd option, and his durability. Contracts aren't just based on his current #'s.

Stephen A is stupid because hes not a 1st option player on the cavs but any team without a star would love him has a 1st option. Thats what makes him worth the max.

Its not weighted anywhere near as heavily as you want to believe. It's been a lot of best players on bad teams but regardless of all things else if a player can put up those numbers, teams will break the bank. Its that simple.

You know this is true no matter how hard you try to talk around it. All the talk of what he "deserves" is just haze.

@tremonthustler1 been saying this and that Rubio was more important to the team. People on this site use to chastise him over it.

I don't think Love should be penalized for not getting the Wolves into the playoffs... The year they had their best shot, he broke his hand in he preseason, missed a ton of time and was never right

The only time the Wolves have gotten into the playoffs is when they had KG putting up some of the best numbers for a power forward in a season EVER while playing all world defense

:mjlol: With the Cavs only playing 5 games in the next 16 days, expect to see a lot of stories about Love's future in Cleveland instead of talking about the Cavs being 28-6 since bowling gate.

Dudes been a top 5 player in the league for a while. With the record that he had, he'd been in the offs in the East and he had Rubio as a second option :heh:

It's like yall forget the 51 he dropped on OKC when KD and Russ had to combine for 85 (40 for KD, 45 from Russ) just to squeak out an overtime W

Or that 31 and 31 game against the Knicks. (Yes 31 and 31)

The 28/11 he put on the Heat last year.

There's no way he should be a third option getting no playing time on the Cavs. shyt is crazy to me.

Going into this year, he was more proven than Kyrie. And at the very least should have been a second option. I just don't understand it.

He's comig to the Knicks though and we'll treat you right Love :ahh:
