Wolves @ Denver

[Oefarmy2005]

As far as a trade with Denver goes, I am just not a fan. Love is the only guy on both teams that can be a go-to player when healthy. Like I have mentioned before, if you trade Love, you trade him for another star player of the same caliber(top 10). The type of package we are talking about from Denver, will be there in Love's last year if he threatens to opt out.

Are you guys really still talking about trading Love? We would be insane to do that right now. Let this year finish out, and see where we are next year as well. I wouldn't even begin to explore offers until after next year.

He got a technical in the first half.

after a dead ball, where he just got stuffed twice, and he was pissed. I didn't really care about that tech. He didn't waste time not getting back due to complaining all night.

[Hawkeye15]

We didn't win because the quality rose after Love left. We won because the team was hungry and lucky. And because Barrea's risks payed off.

yep. As I stated in the Barea thread, you live or die with JJ. He seems like a midget Peeler with slightly more consistency. Hot or cold. If hot, ride the **** out of them.

How that little dude continues to carve his way into the paint I will never understand. Imagine if you combined JJ's finishing ability with everything else Rubio has. OMG

I'm telling you guys, I'm not even a MIN or DEN fan... but Gallo/Faried/Mozzy for Love makes too much sense for both teams.

MIN shouldn't wait 2 years and watch Love bolt...

That would be a great team to watch

Gallo gets by too much on reputation. His 3pt shooting percentage has decreased pretty much every year and he is barely above league average PER at 16.

Kenneth Faried is Reggie Evans on steroids, but that still leaves him as a role player 4 who isn't likely to ever decrease his fouls unless he gives up his wild style of play (and therefore becomes less effective).

Mozgov is a nobody right now. Maybe he'll blossom eventually, but what do the Wolves need with him?

While I'm not 100% opposed to trading Love, this is not at all the right kind of return imo. It's like trading a dollar for two quarters and a nickel.

You won't like him when he's angry??

Kenneth Faried is more than "just another role player..." i mean, he is a role player, but not a Reggie Evans type role player...Dennis Rodman was a role player, and made the HOF by being one. I am not putting Faried on Rodman's level, just pointing out that some role players can be major contributors....hell, Kirilenko is a role player, and he has my vote as best player on the Timberwolves this season, thus far.

You guys are talking about trading love? You really are true mn fans, arent you...

Actually we just said no to a transfer proposal.

No, we really arent talking about it at all. I think some Knicks fan came in here and made a proposal between Denver and Minnesota, and now some of us just mentioned our opinions on it.

I think we have different definitions of "role player" because I wouldn't call AK one. Then again, it's probably a poor choice of words on my part. In essence, what I am saying is that Faried is a nice player but he's always going to be limited and on most teams he is a bench player.
