One year of college at UCLA does not make it your home.

something about Minnesotans is a little off….could be aliens.

Previous comment was in reference to some crazed Laker fan! It’s the lack of humidity that makes them that way.

Plenty of team wanted him if I remember correctly. The Bulls traded a somewhat skilled big man (Purdue) for him, and as we all know, went on to set an NBA record for wins and grabbed 3 Pyrite Balls as well.

I told my friend, watch, a week and all those mercenaries will be in Kevin’s ear about leaving Minnesota.
CP3, Melo and LBJ. How about look in the mirror and step your game up! LBJ finally stopped pointing fingers and worked on his post game and got better, I suggest Kevin do the same. The team can’t go from lottery to champs overnight in cold weather/small markets.
The Cavs when they got Lebron had to tank and build up from a lottery team. They coulda took the next step had Lebron went all in and picked up a phone when free agents wanted to know if he was staying, then they’d sign in Cleveland.
Work on your game like the OKC boys did, get better and with the cap space the Wolves can go out and sign the players to put around you or try to take the easy way out like Melo and still go out in the 1st round.

Oh and the money too, but Adelman isn’t going to come here (and he’s the one calling all the shots, now Kahn) to move his best piece for Gasol.

It’s official – you’re insane.

Did you not realize this when you signed your extension last year? If you are gonna be the best player on your team then your not going to the championship.”

I’m sorry, but this is so bogus. Kevin Love was an absolute MONSTER last season. He played close to 40 minutes a night, every night, and destroyed his stat sheet with the same frequency. Until Rubio got hurt the Wolves WERE making the playoffs. Rubio’s injury changed everything – Wolves got sucker-punched, lost all their momentum, limped through the final 1/3 of the season.

He’s simply voicing his frustration with being a perennial doormat and – as the author noted – continuing to apply the pressure to management – the notorious David Kahn (Johnny Flynn, 5 overall, baby!).

You’re outta your element, Donny.

Not at all. Heck, Love is behind a line of 18,000 here in Minnesota who have been clamoring for a winning product since MV3 took us to the West Finals. 8 years ago

But he got a huge guaranteed contract and is now making the kind of comments that people like Anthony and Howard started to make a year or two before they demanded a trade.

Do you think I’m making this up?

Last year the Wolves called the Lakers about Pao for Love.

I can see the talks restarting.

Some of you are just bleeping idiots.

Minnesota does have interest in Gasol, just not for Love. They were offering Derrick Williams for him.

He signed a 3 year contract with an option for a 4th year.

Trade Kevin Love who is getting better and better year each and is in the talk of being a top 15 if not, top 10 player in the league for a guy who is making 13 million dollars the next 2 season on the down side of his career. Maybe we should throw in Ricky Rubio too, Laker fans.

Every other week someone is complaining about needing more “help” or they want out? This is so cheesy for basketball to go down this road. That being said, Love would so much better at PF on the Bulls than Carlos Boozer.
