Love is a lock to be last pick in all star draft. Curry should draft him with his first pick to troll Cavs though.

Maybe.

He's averaging 18.4 and 9 right now. Not a stretch to think he would do better on a team that actually ran an offense that featured him once in awhile beyond the first half.

Kevin Love will never be the man on a winning team and doesn't have the central american dictator like instincts to insert himself regardless of talent as the man on a playoff team like say, Jimmy Butler.

Would you say Markkanen has Northern European president like instincts?

Green actually played well when they had him in a lineup with Wade and Korver where he wasn't asked to do too much and go all Jeff Green all over the place. Now with Thomas playing the whole bench lineup has been messed up and this team is unwatchable.

Thomas only succeeded under the perfect circumstances in Boston where he was surrounded by a bunch of try hard guys who couldn't score. He was a pain in the ass in both Phoenix and Sac and got punted. Now he's got a beer gut.

Green looks really good some nights and then not so good most other nights. The ultimate trick or treat player.

I feel bad for him. Dude is clearly not right and I don't see anybody paying an aging 5'8 guy without his former explosion/shiftiness.

What a godawful trade by the Cavs.

It's Gilbert's fault. If he had done more to keep Griffin I feel like they get a better deal done earlier in the summer.

Probably. I still don't understand why they didn't just put a kibosh on the trade once they did the medical tests on Isiah.

Apparently Thomas was the one who led the attack on Kevin Love at the Cavs team meeting. God, I hate that midget.
