replace LeBron with Kevin Love

[Lebron23]

LeBron didn't win anything before joining Wade who already had an NBA championship and FMVP before LeBron arrived. Wade taught LeBron how to be a winner and I have no doubt that he could teach Love as well.

But he led his team in the NBA Finals, won multiple division titles, and led his team multiple time in the conference finals while 25 yrs.old Kevin Love is still a playoffs virgin.

Forget the superstars, any complementary all-star (SF or C) would have won 3 rings by now.

This

What's Love's playoffs stats?? 0 ppg, 0 rpg, 0 apg, 0 bpg.
0 mpg

0 mpg

What's the PER on that?

They lose all 3 years.

Love hasn't proved anything in this league so far... We don't know how he would respond to playoff defense,when he's in a series against a good team that knows how to take the best aspect of your game from you... He doesn't bring the versatility that lebron brings, he can't run the offense on one end then guard the best player on the other end

I know you guys dislike lebron but this is just dumb

Wade and Bosh played very well in 2011 especially the finals. Wade's game is marginalized with LeBron's ball dominance. If Wade played with Love and Bosh then he would go HAM. 2011- no doubt. 2012- Pretty sure Miami wins. 2013- they lose to Indiana.

So many idiots here and I do not even know what to say. Heat's shooters are having field days and it is because of Lebron and not the other way around. The Heat can get away playing the worst starters in the league(Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier) because of Lebron's unique skill sets that cannot be replaced. As for OP's original idiotic question, Wade and Bosh would have never taken a back seat for freakin' Kevin Love.

Glad to see such a sense of proportion on ish....

While you are it, go ahead and call Ray Allen the worst shooter in the league. Those two guys saved Lebron's ass over and over and over again. Battier was the absolute difference maker in the entire finals series in 2012, and in the game 7 of 2013. Chalmers is a bitch but he has yet to play anything less than an all-star level, clutch player in a big playoff game since the big-3 era began.

That is the beauty of it. Wade wouldn't have to take a back seat. He wouldn't be marginalized. Wade can be Wade. Wade could create for others easily. Hell Bosh could probably post up like he did in Toronto with Love providing floor spacing. Miami would be the same level offensively, worse defensively, and better at rebounding.

what a terrible thread. I hope the Kobetards are finally gone in this forum once Kobe ends his career in less than 1 1/2 years.

[highwhey]

Lol I could see kLove fans blaming wade for being injured

Heat are the heat because lebron's impact on BOTH sides of the court. Average defense would not cut it in the conference finals much less the actual finals. Pacers or Spurs would have won the title last season.

NBA players are no scrubs and they will play good every once in a while. Still would trade Chalmers for almost any every starting point guard in the league in a heartbeat and definitely trade Battier for either Taj Gibson or Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Lol I will stop, Lebron is the team's offense and helps everyone around him shoot better, if Kevin Love was that good the Wolves would have nothing to worry about. Among current players only a prime Duncan could come close to Lebron in terms of impact on both ends.
