im a huge fan of steph, but there's a reason why the warrior's were hesitant to include klay in a trade for love. i have a strong feeling it has to do with the fact that he can guard opposing pgs (Westbrook, cp3, dame, etc..) that would give steph a huge headache

This is why I was for letting ZBo opt out and testing the market. I fail to believe that a team would have thrown more than 3yrs/$36M at him being that he's not a rim protector, not a good pick and roll defender and can't shoot the 3 ball. Memphis came out okay with the other 2 years being only 2yrs/$20M, but they could have got out of paying Zbo $16.5M for the upcoming season by letting him opt out.

Is it me or is one leg smaller than the other?

This is also true but not to stop other post players. It's to stop the guards who get to the rim. My post on perimeter defense being more important was based on individual matchups.
Pippen lol.

But you can't dismiss the fact that he had a bad scrimmage and he doesn't shoot as well as the other guards

And those 2 guys are blowing by their defenders and living in the paint. If Love is your last resort at that point for a stop, good luck. He should at least learn how to take charges/flop like a Collison/Varajeo/Big Baby and all the other non athletic bigs

@MisterWallaceGA: A source tells the NY Daily News that OKC Thunder's Kevin Durant is considering a deal with Under Armour that could make him $30M a yr.

I agree. See my last post but I wouldn't call out Love for his D. For example in DC the radio loves to get on Alex O for the Caps for not making the playoffs or not hustling on a play. All he did was lead the NHL in scoring. Love does so much already the rest should take up the slack. If he played harder on D but scored 6 less points and 3 fewer boards it's a wash.

That game also ended early. It was more fan service than actually making or breaking the team

The numbers I was talking about were Minnesota's defense with him on the court and when he's off the court. The margin doesn't indicate he's as poor a defender as people claim.

I believe if KLove does go to the cavs they can hide his on ball "deficiencies" by pairing him next to varejao. Not many teams have a formidable 4-5 punch so KLove can probably take the lesser assignment each night. P n R defense is another thing. I think that's an area where Love can definitely improve. Interested to see if Marion does sign with the cavs because that'll give them a good "glue" guy to come off the bench and contribute right away on defense and rebounding.

He gets paid but his brand would take a huge hit. UA isn't in Nikes class of marketing and notoriety.

UA is pretty big, they just havent had anyone to push them to their limits in terms of marketing and brand.
UA will do work, no way they offer Durant so much money without having a solid plan already in place.
While they arent nikes i really wanna see what UA has up their sleeves in designs for kicks.

His brand? You kidding? These dudes don't care about what nike makes for them. I'd be surprised if they're even part of the process at all. Take that money, keep winning > "brand"
