Why do people think a bad team adding Kevin Love will be any better than the Wolves?

[Akrazotile]

It'd be one thing if he went to a team like the Suns or maybe the Wizards, but what are bottom feeders gonna do with him that the Wolves couldn't?

The wolves had a HOF coach, Rubio, Pekovic, Kevin Martin, and some ok rotation guys; Brewer, Barea, Mbah a Moute, Turiaf. Obviously nothing to write home about, but certainly as good as what the Lakers and Celtics and Knicks put out on the court. So why fans of those teams wanna trade a bunch of stuff to get him? It's the Carmel/Nuggets situation all over again.


Oh, right because the Celtics have Rondo coming back and he's so much.... different than... uhh.... Rubio......

Right...


Seriously, what's the hype about? If he's not winning on the Wolves, why is he gonna win on teams that finished WORSE than the Wolves? Just because the city is bigger? Hmm...

If Love wants to win he should come to Atlanta. They become a legit contender in the East with him.

[Real14]

Kevin love never played with a melo type player.

[CelticBaller]

Seriously


I want him away from my celtics

Did you really need to create a new thread for this personal thought? Like we don't have enough K-Love trade threads?

[russwest0]

depends if he goes to the east or west

if he goes to the west i agree with you

[Derka]

In the Eastern Conference? There's no question.

[ZMonkey11]

He would commit himself as a wonderful third option. Cleveland maybe?

[Akrazotile]

In the Eastern Conference? There's no question.

So if he ends up on a team equivalent to last years Wolves, but they're in the East... you think that's a contender?

[oh the horror]

It's not about adding to the current rosters in hopes to make them better now dude.


It's about franchises ability to acquire said piece and build.


Lakers have shown the ability to put together good teams.

[MellowYellow]

K-love on the Knicks with Melo is a guaranteed contender, on the Lakers or Celts its another middling team for Love.

In the Eastern Conference? There's no question.

You'll just get your ass whooped by the Heat instead of missing the Playoffs altogether. Either way the result is zero championships.

[Akrazotile]

Still don't understand this. Only bad teams are going to be able to afford to pay him market value (which is highly inflated). Or a good team can trade the assets they have right now to get him, which ends up simply making it a lateral move.

What difference is he gonna make on a team that sucks as much as the Wolves do?
