Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

[moonman818]

I don't even want Kevin Love anymore now they we're guaranteed to get a big man. I don't know if going to Cleveland exposed him or if it was just a bad fit.

I honestly feel it was just a bad fit 

Honestly Love on the Cavs is a great fit. I don't see how anyone could think otherwise.

He's an amazing shooter and good rebounder. He brings exactly what Lebron needs to be successful.

If you're saying he's a bad fit only because his numbers dropped that's not really being realistic.

He put up 16 and 10 behind two scorers.

he's a bad fit because they took a well rounded scoring big and made him a spot up shooter.

Probably. Even when Cleveland worked through their struggles he was still struggling. Hell they look better w/o him. Maybe he's one of those dudes that just puts up empty stats. I don't see him going back to Cleveland, even if they get the ring it was w/o him and he never blinded with Lebron. Which is another red flag to me.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

it's the way they used him. Love isn't a spot up shooter, he's a big that can step out to the perimeter. He's a good passer, a good low block scorer, good at the high post. But all they did was have him stand behind the arc and wait for a kick out.

But that's basically all he needs to be with Lebron and Kyrie on his team...

He's one of the best shooters in the league

Bosh told him what it was before the season even started

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Sure, but he's not gonna be focused and interested to do just that. If that's all they wanted, they should've gone after Ryan Anderson. Think a lot of Love's issues were just him being tired of being solely a spot up shooter and not the complete basketball player that he is.

 

[bravelude]

Love and Kobe will be good.  But Butler and LaMar also on da block.

4 Fs and KOBE.

Love

Aldridge

Okafor

Randle

KOBE

lols.. like NBA 2K.  It's possible as BYE RON SCOTT TINKERS the lineup.

That could definitely be true.

I was just getting at the point he was a bad fit... He's the perfect for the Cavs.

But are the Cavs a good fit for Love?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Definitely. It's something on paper that should've worked but for whatever reasons never meshed well.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Love >>>> Rondo

...but with the amount if good free agents we should be like the 4th person contacted and courted.

If he wants to be here hell have to take less than max imo

 

[District of Columbia]

If we grab Towns i wouldn't be against bringing in Love tbh

But Love and Okafor is a no go

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Love and Okafor ain't much worse or better than Randle and Okafor.

That's why we should get Russell and DJ.



I'll give up on getting Russell when people give up on getting Towns.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

People are really believing these bs rumors that we are going after Love smfh

 

[dceja]

Love should of fit in but Blatt sucks he's just not a good coach doesn't know how to utilize all his Pieces

 

[junglejim]

People keep throwing out Rondo but why not go after Dragic instead?  Probably the same price but seems like a heck of a lot less drama.

 

[Lizakers]

Brave got that MF DOOM posting flow

 

[vindeezy]

Prolly cuz drag has a higher price tag/has intimated staying in mia/has leverage...whereas rondo-has no leverage/will be cheaper on a "show me" deal+the links to kobe. Either way, pass on both.

 

[fun guy]

Love and Okafor would be horrible on defense but they would be excellent on offense. Perfectly spaced floor between them, and both are excellent passers. If we can snag up Conley in 2016 and add 2-3 perimeter defenders, that team might work. Hopefully Joakim's value will drop to merely a defensive specialist and we can sign him on the cheap.

Was just about to type out what Mamba said.

Looks like he having fun out there too. I would love to visit the Motherland again.

Props to Clarkson for showing love and heading out to the motherland

NBA and basketball for a long time has always been that country's #1 sport.

Not boxing just because Manny Pacquiao the past 15 years recently blew up in boxing, like some other people might think.

Here's a flashback:








Young Frobe putting on a show in Manila.

Dude was making trips and showing love to PI and Asia long before he signed his endorsement contract with NIKE.

Looks like Vince "Half man & half amazing" saw the video and stole dunks from Frobe

 

[bravelude]

Obama playing w/ kids.  Come on fam.  Dude's another gimmick for LA, just like how they used Lin.  He went because of a PROMOTION and PR move.  Dude's hair is whack.  

Edit: If he enters the Dunk Contest then that's different.
