I understand.
Loves lack of D really irks me though, it's why I prefer Tristan over him even though Tristan is trash on offense.
Love really wasn't a bad defender this season. He was starting out the season but after Griffin made the trades his defending improved because everyone tried harder.
TT is so limited offensively and really isn't the best defender. He has a very quick 2nd jump, one only Wiggins can really rival at the moment. His strength is rebounding and he's so good at it because of that 2nd jump and he's athletic and strong enough to get where he needs to be. His positional rebounding isn't that great.
Love on the other hand is a monster offensively. You can give him the ball anywhere on the floor and the defense must be afraid. He can shoot it from anywhere, drive to the hole, post up, distribute from the elbow...basically just about everything you want offensively from the PF position. His defensive rebounding is great as well because he he always is in the right position. He doesn't just jump over everyone like TT he uses his body to prevent the offensive player from being in a good position to get a rebound. It's why he got his arm ripped out because Kelly Olynyk couldn't rebound jack shyt against him. Kelly's frustration at Love led to that dirty ass play.
All in all, KLove's offensive strengths far outweigh his defensive deficiencies. Cavs #1 priority this summer is giving KLove what he wants over anyone else (besides LBJ). If for some reason that would force TT out the door, than so be it.
Euro's make more sense
