    Love would take away minutes from either Vanderbilt or Bamba. If it's Bamba, Love would give us better offense and non-existent D. We need D more than more offense for this squad. Rather have Bamba for those 16 minutes, especially if we want to keep Bamba next season.

    Unless he can play 3 & D wing, I have no interest at this time.

    We don’t need him. We just need to build chemistry right now.

    No to K Love. Maybe if we didn't get Bamba or Vando or Rui I'd be interested

    Just not enough minutes to go around

    yeah, the report said some team in the east would chase him, and you have to imagine GS would be interested and a very attractive option for him.

    we really don't have a lot of use for him, imo.

    Another team that could use K Love - The Suns.

    Could def see them scoop him up after they dealt Dario Saric.

    Love would fit well too In a small ball lineup for Love, KD, Ross (or Warren), Booker, Cp3

    I hope they do. Be fun watching who tries to guard AD from that group.

    I think we need another center with actual size. I know most teams may not have a bunch of good bigs, but if Bamba is in foul trouble and AD is out for rest we can't afford to small against teams with size.

    I watched a full South Bay Lakers game last week and focused on watching Huff. He is a legit NBA backup. I'm not sure why we don't want him on the roster. My best guess is they want him gaining experience by playing regular game minutes until we need him. But he looked smart, active, defensively engaged on every possession, and more than adequate on offense.

    Man that Conley stat line tonight was brutal. Will be interesting is that trade ends up pushing both Utah and the Wolves out of the playoffs

    Luckily we're not going to be considered because he wants playing time. We can't give him that.

    I'd prefer to add another true backup center, although I would not complain too much about Kevin Love on the bench, providing he's OK with that very limited role (basically, strictly small ball center minutes is the only role he could have here). At least he knows how to "play big" and can shoot the 3. So, he'd be alright as a deep bench player but we could maybe find better option for the minimum in the off-season. Right?

    Anyway, if it happens, that's alright.
