Somebody figure out how we can get Kevin Love and one of their PGs.

TIA

^nobody?

They were apparently dangling Love to Memphis before the draft, what would it take to get him?

Stuckey is not Ricky Rubio. They're not even in the same ballpark in terms of potential or style of play.

So what does Minny need?

I think Love would be great here, and I also like that he is related to the lead singer from the Beach Boys.

Minny could use RIP probably, not sure if they'd move Love for him (with a filler like Cardinal or Songaila).

Then they wouldn't have someone to play next to Al.

Kwame and his expiring?

We give them Rip/Kwame and we take Love and a bad contract?

They sort of already have their own Kwame in Etan Thomas, though.

I simply don't think it could be done.

Getting Flynn and Ellington, I think they'll run them out at the guard spots with Gomes and Love and Jefferson. Love and Jefferson, when healthy, may be as good as it gets and I think they would be foolish to deal Love.

They may have wanted Rubio, but they got Flynn and didn't have to deal Love to do it, so I think they'll let their roster stay where it is and develop.

I think I was trying to put this in the Stuckey thread.

They already have expiring big men. I don't see them moving Love unless they get a big that would fit better with Jefferson (is there a better option?).

And they might even have Rubio.

Stucky is in every deal involving Love (he'll be a 2 there of course).
