Kevin Love wants a roster upgrade

[OG Talk]

Who doesn't want to play with talent around them? How is that even news worthy. It would be newswothy if he said "I don't give a fukk about winning. Who cares if we don't make the playoffs." He just saying what I would expect any player on a losing team, especially a perennial loser to say.

He's clearly angling for a trade if they don't get better and setting the stage for his departure. If they aren't better by the end of his new deal he will most certianly be gone.

People that want to be "the man" and prove to the world they're the next Jordan and it's "their team"..


Larry Bird never demanded a trade.. He just single handedly won multiple championships and MVP's from the strength of his own will...

It's utterly amazing how the sports media managed to spin this "the man" and "doing it on your own" bullshyt while at the same time the 80's. I have nothing but respect for Magic and Bird and other legends but I wish I could travel back in time and bring them each individually to present day and put them on the Bobcats in place of MKG and with no major moves made and see how they would do there. Whats funny is we saw how Mike struggled early in his career before Scottie and how Kobe struggled between Shaq and Pau but nikkas just conveniently ignore that shyt and act like nikkas are supposed to be able to will their teams to victories. People are so in love with that movie narrative bullshyt that they can't/won't look at the shyt realistically. It's always fun to deconstruct the bullshyt arguments though.

Honestly As Soon As I Seen Kevin Love Laughing It Up With Kobe, Bron And Them I Knew It Was A Bad Thing For The Wolves.These Types Of Bonding Experiences Are Scary If You're A Small Market Team Dude Is In Minnesota Not Making The Playoffs For Like 4-5 Years Straight, That Would Drive Anyone Insane, Then He Gets Around Guys With Loaded Teams In Great Citys And Is Like "Man Im In Hell", I Bet They Egging Him To Leave Too.

I Think Minny Will Make The Playoffs This Season Though.

Yep
Same thing bappaned with bosh in the 08 Olympics seeds were planted then

Get out now minny get out now

Who's better?

in MY opinion of course

• First of all Lamarcus Aldridge is the best PF in the league right now
• I can make an argument that Bosh is better than Love but's up for debate
• Dirk should be right up there with him too
• Some would say Griffin is better than Love right now but I'd say not yet but he's getting there and it wont even be close when Griffin reaches his potential

Sidenote: This is just me but I have a mancrush (nohomo)for Paul Milsap and believe he can be as good if not better than Love, Bosh and Griffin if given the touches. Dude is like a young McDyess: Waiting to be unleashed

 

[jwinfield]

i mean if LMA was healthy either HIm or Lob Griffith wouldnt be on the team

Nah, Love was a lock to be on the team.

Big men that rebound, pass and can stretch the floor is what Coach K wants.

No one "wins it alone" but

Them nikkaz still won as the man on the squad that drafted them

 

[holidayinn21]

superteams are ruining the league.

 

[William Bassington]

i totally agree... but in EVERY OTHER aspect of the game he kills Love.. i mean if LMA was healthy either HIm or Lob Griffith wouldnt be on the team

he doesnt outrebound him, and isnt a better scorer, not even a better passer..those are 3 important aspects of the game....

So what if the team that drafted them sucked and kept sucking?

Lemme guess they would have waited until they were past their primes and then went to a contender for a conselation ring right?

They deserve credit for what they did but we have seen numerous examples of great play by individuals that was wasted due to lackluster teams around them.

 

[Peruvian Connect]

Stop shooting 45% from the floor.

 

[Jesus]

If Kevin Love played defense or committed to it more, his team would have made the playoffs by now. So he needs to look at himself and become a defensive anchor if he thinks he has greatness

Great offense, great rebounder... horrible man defender, horrible post defender, bad help defender.

Close thread.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Look at who his shooting guard was last year

 

[thelonious21]

so he cares not for defense...

so.. cuz he is a better SHOOTER..i think that kinda speaks for the scoring.. i mean.. im not going to shatter your great white hope breh... ya boy is the 2011-12 dirk fam.. NO D.. MINIMAL post play... GREAT shooter

and im sure when that J aint falling.. he would rather be a Playmaker than go into the post and get them GULLYSIDE lo post buckets
