Excited to see Kevin Love audition himself to a deserving squad![]()
-P-
On some real shyt, if he can't at least tread water with his new teammates til Rubio gets back, I'd love to see who will still want him. If he can't at least be a good substitute leader then it would be funny as fukk to see teams bend over backward to go get him in 3 years (I still maintain we should never consider moving him. Just let him walk. He'll be more upset when his options are limited financially in 3 years). For now, he better be ready to just join the ride because the team can be very formidable once Rubio returns.
Minnesota's biggest acquisitions were Kirilenko and Roy this offseason. How the fukk can he tread water without Rubio?
Love deserves better.
"It will be a big surprise to me if we didn't make a huge leap this year and make it to the playoffs," the Lake Oswego native told me Wednesday. [...]
"We're going to have a chance to be very good," Love said. "We're hoping Brandon can stay healthy through 82 games. Kirilenko is a big addition. Shved hopefully is going to be a big deal for us.
"We'll have more firepower in terms of veterans. Brandon and Andrei will help our locker room and on the court. It will make Coach Adelman's job a lot easier.
"If everything is put together, if Ricky comes back healthy, we're going to be a force to be reckoned with."
He's the leader right? Or so he claims. If you wanna be considered greatness, win in spite of it. Great players can do that. We were a playoff contending team just last season with a much worse roster than the one you see now before Rubio went down. I'm only asking Love to treat water for 6 weeks max before Rubio takes the wheel. Trust me, if it were the other way around and we had to wait for Love to come back in December, I wouldn't even stress it. I'd be guaranteeing a playoff appearance right now. The fact that I can't is an indictment on #42, especially if Love can't do better with the team and staff he has even without Rubio,
The fact that you asked that question lets you know whose team this really is.
Not for nothing, he happens to like Roy and AK47 as additions.

Why? I saw what that team was capable of with a healthy Rubio and I saw what they are without him. I'm not going out on a limb by saying that. I'm not worried about the PF position whether Love's here or not.
You think Minnesota without Love is a playoff team as long as Rubio is there?
