Kevin Love Rumor

Would you be okay to trade Jae Crowder and #16 for Love?

Only if we are assured that we can get Butler or Barnes.

Failing that I would honestly be pretty hesitant.  Trading Crowder (and not replacing hiim with another SF) puts us in a very difficult position considering that Turner is a free agent.  It would put a lot of pressure on us to draft Brown at #3 rather than being able to just take the best player available.

If the Cavs are willing to let go of Love for KO and 16 or 23 i would do that all day.  He's soft but he's better then any big we have at the moment.  I would even throw in a few 2nd rounders.  I would not give up #3.

Yeah I would do that.

Hell I would probably give up KO, 16 and 23 to be honest.  We're pretty desperately in need of a starting big right now with Sully/Jerebko/Amir all being non guaranteed.

Much as I dislike Love he is a good player, and even if we can't get a quality center, a Love/Amir frontcourt would actually probably work quite well.

Not Barnes. Anyone but Barnes.

If we traded Crowder for Love and Turner chose to go elswhere...then we wouldn't have much choice.  We'd need to take the best SF available, and if Durant/Derozan/Butler aren't available then Barnes would be next.
