I seem to remember a few months back when idiots like you were saying it was a "lock" that Love would go to L.A during the off season. How did that one work out again?

You are a moron. He was TRADED to Cleveland. He was not a Free Agent. If we got the first pick instead of Cleveland, he'd already be a Laker.

It's not like there haven't been talks before about Love having Lakers as one of his top destinations when he enters Free Agency...

Think about it for a second. This Cavs experiment fails because their defense sucks and Irving & Bran don't mix, Blatt is garbage. Love wants to shine in a big market. He's good friends with Kobe Bryant. He played in UCLA. Lakers have a ton of cap space next year and even more the year after. Cleveland will not have much room to improve unless he takes less money to accomodate Lebron's and Irving's contracts with not much space for improvement. It makes sense.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I could see it happening if this Cav team fails and/or he hates his role but I don't think Cleveland trades for him if they don't feel that they have a good shot at keeping him.

Regarding the photo in the OP I wouldn't want my team to sign Rose at max money right now. Needs to prove he can stay healthy. Plus getting him out of Chi would be impossible if they want to keep him. Isn't the target supposed to be Westbrook? He's from there after all. Doubt they have any chance at KD either, it will be Washington or OKC.

3) Lakers did not have the assets to get him this year.

Love would put up an easy 25 a game next to Wall, and would probably shoot 45% from 3.

[Nash]

I don't see it. If there is anybody in the NBA that is sick of losing its Love. I have a hard time seeing Love signing for a rebuilding Lakers team. Especially leaving all of that money Cleveland can get him and leaving Lebron and the finals trips they can make in the East.

[For_Three]

Have any of you ever been to Cleveland? Dear lord...

And yes I know they don't live there year around. But still it is just really really bad. This boy spent one year at UCLA and has since lived in Minnesota and Cleveland. You know he is dying to go back.

Kevin Love's lifelong goal is to be a star on the Lakers. This would be the best option for him.

Love plus a year of pro-training Randle plus Kobe coming off the books the following year for a max or two near-max players? Please.

[IncarceratedBob]

Meh I dont think the Lakers would want him. He's not the right type of star for that team. Wilt, West, Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe.. Love? Yeah right. That's why the Lakers decided to let Dwight walk. The star in LA needs to be a winner IMO.

What's crazy is that if all those guys were in their primes, thats not a bad team at all......They don't have a true Center but they have plenty of scoring and rebounding. They dont' have any defense other than Kobe though....Young is a good 6th man off the bench....

I'm pretty sure Love would leave max money on the table, teammates like Lebron and Irving, the weak east to go play with Randle + some for now unnamed free agents who may or may not sign and leave their teams and sign with the Lakers. All that after making the playoffs for the first time in his career.

Sure buddy, sure. Sounds super reasonable.

1) Play for lifelong favorite team near friends and family with no expectations.
2) Play in ****ing Cleveland with a diva and be blamed for every loss by said diva's fans.

[Bigsmoke]

The weather in Cleveland is terrific. I wouldn't to live there

He should play for the Bulls. Gasol is only getting older

[ROCSteady]

If Durant leaves, he's going to the Wizards

[bizil]

I just can't see Love leaving the Cavs anytime soon unless they underacheive. Or if he feels he's being taken for granted. He's in a great situation where a legend like Bron is a pass first superstar. Kyrie is a beast and still not even close to his peak years. His offensive game fits perfect with Bron and Kyrie. Plus he has a lot bigs up front to help him with the dirty work.

[jbryan1984]

Oh please. Love was flattered that LeBron wanted him. He aint going anywhere. Dude was sick of losing and he is on a good team now. He was in LA for college. Lakers are rebuilding and Love has even stated he wants in the playoffs. Lakers are not in the playoffs this year and I doubt next year either. The Cavs know what is going on with the CBA. Lebron aint going anywhere either. Could u imagine the public backlash after all this coming home stuff? His circle would never allow it. Bottom line is, I just dont see Love leaving us next year. Only the Lakers would trade to get a star in the last year of his contract and then lose him.

LA is a superior city than Cleveland.

The fact that they are going through some tough times and the polar vortex is coming would make Kevin loves decisiveness understandable

[Sarcastic]

He's gonna leave cuz LeBron is gonna leave too.

[Cavalier]

Can't wait to see how Love flourishes in Byron Scott's "no threes" system.:applause:

[305Baller]

I don't see him leaving but it would not be the strangest thing to happen... (Lebron).

[dreamwarrior]

I can't see him leaving. He'd be ditching a contender to return to a team similar to the one he left. If anything he should go back to Minn and take those guys to the finals. At least it'll be his team.

[navy]

He will leave Cleveland eventually. Not after one year lol

[Kidbasketball20]

If they lose 2nd round (which I think is a strong possibility) and Lakers are a surprise team that fights hard in the 1st round I could 100% see him leaving LePassive for greener pastures.

Why would he go down low against Anthony Davis? Love has been getting a lot of post touches recently, just not this game because his 3pt shooting was needed more.

Yea, because he was being guarded by AD every possession right? :rolleyes: Best to take it to the perimeter against a dude like Davis, I agree, but how about when Anderson was guarding him and Kyrie just looked for his own shot as usually? How about when Jrue (I believe) picked him up on a switch and Bron just dribbled his way to a somewhat contested 3? So on... 3 was falling plus Irving was on and even got plenty of assists (and Bron was getting his too, that's more likely though) and they got the W, but how about when that all doesn't go as well? Happened before though, so... James took 17 shots and (most importantly) Kyrie took 21 - that's "good" and the "norm" for Bron though, as he got to the line a lot also - while Love only took 13 and 9 of them were 3's.
Like I've said, better hope for big success and that the outside shot is falling more often than not.

Love knew what he was getting into when he came to Cleveland. There will be games when he gets lots of touches, and games when he doesn't. Coming to Cleveland to play with Bron and Kyrie wasn't about continuing to get his stats and chuck when he wants to in the hopes that it translates to a win. The three of them have a clear goal in mind...getting stats is likely not one of those goals.

[ImKobe]

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/could-kobe-head-east-win-win


It’s not going to get as much discussion during the season, but one of the biggest issues for the Cavs is that both LeBron James and Kevin Love own opt outs after this season. LeBron James basically cannot afford to go anywhere after his return to Cleveland. But watch out for Love. Indications are he will seriously consider the opt out and has his eyes on a return to Los Angeles, where he attended college and where the Lakers long have had him on their free agent wish list ...
