i've come to think that love is one of the least versatile players on the planet, like if you give him run to do the 4-5 things he's really good at he'll get numbers but he's so hopeless at everything other than those 4-5 things and i don't think he's really interested in getting better at them.

sounds abt right

basically he plays like he was programmed to run the a.i. of a 90s basketball videogame
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:29 (seven years ago) link
i was going thru teams trying to find one that fit the love criteria and theres not much out there since a lot of the 5s he might pair well with are on the FA or trade market

maybe denver but they're a year or 2 too early to be making big moves

celtics w amir johnson, great perimeter D, the assets to trade makes a lot of sense
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:32 (seven years ago) link
is amir signed for next year that works if so

kevin love = nick young

ive been on board w/ love to celtics for a while i think if there's any coach that can set up a narrow player to succeed its brad
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:35 (seven years ago) link
nick young is only good at like 1 thing tho
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:36 (seven years ago) link
im on record as declaring love to celtics destiny so theres no point in fighting it

love is prob worth the #3 straight up given the scuttlebutt re: many players below 1 and 2 in this draft, he's def not worth #3 plus actual players imo
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:40 (seven years ago) link
maybe some second rounders too if only so ainge doesn't have to draft-and-stash five separate euroballers due to roster crowding issues
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:41 (seven years ago) link
the only problem w the deal is it wld need a third team involved cause i dont think cleve is interested in draft picks
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link
with love the cavs bought high and will be reluctant to sell low. the celtics would be buying low on love, so it makes great sense to buy in, if love gets offered. but this is verging on offseason stuff, not finals.

well, there's that
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Tuesday, 7 June 2016 18:46 (seven years ago) link
love is worth a lot more than the #3 straight up
love to the celtics makes sense for the celtics but idk what the lebrons want with the #3 pick and spare parts. there would have to be another team

he's worth the #3 in this draft i think. i don't think he was worth the #3 in last year's draft (in a world where the third pick was porzingis instead of okafor)
the other thing w/ love is that maybe his health will never be where it once was even tho he can still look like the same player. sorta like what happened to dwight howard but on a much more protracted timeline.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 June 2016 20:10 (seven years ago) link
love to the celtics straight up for #3 would be interesting if the cavs could flip #3 to a team that really liked a player there and also had a good nba vet to spare but idk what team that would be....
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 7 June 2016 20:14 (seven years ago) link
apropos of nothing, the weirdest prop bet i would place right now were it available would be steph hosting an snl episode next season
― Clay, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link
love was traded for the #1 pick in what was supposed to be the draft of the decade PLUS some other stuff just 2 years ago. i don't think the perception of his value has regressed so much that he's now worth the #3 pick in what is (afaict) considered to be a draft with 2 players of superstar potential

feel like thats one of the main places you can have an affect on the game as a coach. also one of the main reasons i love kerr. hiring smart assistants helps too.
