Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Love is a goddamn beast and if you are trading him, you better get a herschel walker deal for him. I'd be more willing to include him in conversations with the gm about roster moves that would keep him around than to trade him.

What could u realistically get for him? David Lee, Klay Thompson and a pick as centerpieces maybe? The Wolves might bite on that one, but thats a best case scenario..


Danny Ainge would probably offer the Nets picks and whatever else to get him.

I think you have to rock with him. No real trade options out there that would benefit the Wolves. Take the chance that the market for him is less then expected which I think it will be.

The Lakers are going to have caproom when he's a free agent, and presumably they could have Wiggins, Embiid, Exum or Parker.


That is the free agent market for him, a preferred location where he went to College, he's more than likely going there if they have room.

Speaking on behalf of the Celtics, I'd imagine there'd be some interest.

The Celtics have a ton of draft picks to move, but if a pick from the upcoming draft were available, and how valued 1st rounders have been, they'd only get 2 1st round picks from the Celtics. I don't think they'd give up 3 if a 2014 draft pick were included.

The homer in me doesn't want to move Rondo, Sullinger, or Olynik.

I'm not in love with Avery Bradley as much as most people, although he's been incredible for the last two or three weeks.

We have a 2014/2015 1st rounder from Philly, 2015 1st rounder from the Clippers, a 2016 Brooklyn pick, the right to swap with Brooklyn in 2017, a 2018 1st rounder from Brooklyn, and a ton of 2nd rounders that we'd probably be willing to include. Just nothing from 2014, or you get way less.

I'm not sure Danny wants to do anything that makes the team better right now, seems like he's trying to trade his way into being the worst team in the league. With Rondo coming back though, I'd expect them to start winning at least 40% of their games once he gets going, at least.

They should. Love/Pek is by far the worst defensive frontcourt in the league. I don't see Love there longterm anyway.

Stance hasn't changed. Let him walk. Dumb luck and history will show they'll get another one. They ain't gettin shyt for him (or anyone else on that team for that matter), so just ride it out one more year. They're not rebuilding. Flip's in charge. He's incapable of doing it, so there's no point.

I guess Love would hate having to leave $30 mil on the table as a FA instead of trade but I don't really care.

Danny Ainge would probably offer the Nets picks and whatever else to get him.

It'd be some combination of the picks from Brooklyn, LA, and Philly (from today's deal)

I doubt he'd give up anything from 2014 draft

Kris Humphries expiring would have to be included, or if Danny pulled off a miracle and got Gerald Wallace the fukk outta here

With Avery Bradley about to become a restricted free agent, I could see Danny possibly moving him because Avery seems to want more than the Celtics value him at (they offered 4 years 24 million, Avery wants at least 8 million per season...

Sullinger might be Kevin Love 2.0 the way he has shown he can play

I'm blah on Olynik at the moment, he had a decent stretch where he was playing well but he's been irrelevant for at least a month now.

Jeff Green? Most frustrating player on the team by far, crazy talent, just can't seem to stay aggressive all game. He should be demanding the ball, and instead Avery has taken over as main offensive weapon.

No doubt that he'd go there under those circumstances but there is a bit of luck involved with that. It's uncertain the Lakers would get a pick that high and if they don't would they be willing to drop max dollars on Love if they draft someone like Aaron Gordon/Smart/or any of the second tier lottery picks.

For me it's more on the Timberswolves, what deals are out there? Eric Gordon maybe(lockin yourself into the treadmill)? Do you make a deal for expiring contracts,picks, and shyt? Can't see them rebuilding with Adelman. Your probably better off with a trade exception and some picks in a sign and trade.

It's sad that Love didn't get the deal he deserved because they wanted the 5 year contract for Rubio instead, and Rubio has not gotten any better since his first day in the league. He has not been good this year.

Love deserves better than this.
