Kevin Love is a top 5 player in the league

[oarabbus]

You think blake is better than cp3?

He could be.

Blake can carry the Clips without CP3 much better than the reverse.

[MellowYellow]

1) Lebron
2) Durant
3) Melo
4) Cp3
5) Curry
6) Blake
7) K-love

Why is Melo better than KLove

Melo 27/8/3 miss playoffs in East
Love 26/12.5/4.5 miss playoffs in West


Advantage: Love

[MellowYellow]

After Lebron and Durant you can throw any combination of Westbrook, CP3, Blake, LMA, Curry, Davis, Carmelo, D12, Harden, Paul George and Love (hope I didn't forget someone) to complete your top 5.
It's just a matter of opinion, those players are in similar levels.

True, but I wouldn't throw George or D12 in that mix, they are on the next tier after.

Why is Melo better than KLove

Melo 27/8/3 miss playoffs in East
Love 26/12.5/4.5 miss playoffs in West


Advantage: Love

Melo has been to the playoffs every year of his career except one, Love has never been to the playoffs.

Advantage: Melo

Melo has been to the playoffs every year of his career except one, Love has never been to the playoffs.

Advantage: Melo

Not like Love would have missed playoffs on ANY of Melo's playoff teams

Anyway I'll gladly take 50% increased rebounding and 50% increased assists and sacrifice 1ppg.

Advantage: LOve

Not like Love would have missed playoffs on ANY of Melo's playoff teams

IDK about that, Melo has dragged along some pretty rancid teams to the playoffs in the brutal Western Conference.

Advantage: LOve

Melo is a far superior defender than Love, so that makes up for the arbitrary difference in stats.

[Uncle Drew]

I was against giving up Wiggins, but oh my, Love is ballin'.

[Nash]

He would be the best player, or Lebron Durant status if he had better athleticism.

But yeah, borderline top 5 right now. Unique as hell.

[#number6ix#]

I think Love is the better player because of his shooting ability and basketball iq... The Clippers would be a better team with love... I think love is top 5

[ArbitraryWater]

You realize OP is a bran stan, right?

I'm gonna take BG over KLove as well as CP3, and maybe AD, but Love has a chance to prove himself this year, especially when we see him in the playoffs. He has a chance to prove himself as a top 5 player in the league, but it's still yet to be seen, IMO

Pretty much

[theoneneo]

Never sniffed playoff air

[BuffaloBill]

Never sniffed playoff air

It's alright, cause he finna

[pauk]

Statistically he has been right up there, but the team outcome/impact due to those stuff he does is not something to brag about & not better than a couple of players, using the eye test its more like:

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. CP3
4. Davis
5. Curry
6. Carmelo
7. Westbrook
8. Griffin
9-12. Harden/Love/Aldridge/Cousins

Rose? Kobe? Wade? Bosh? We shall see.
