Official 2013 NBA Offseason Thread

[hood17]

I feel confident we have a team to get to the playoffs but I'm not sure yet how those other teams from 7-13 will actually do. But Love needs to get IN the playoffs last year for the team was a fluke but now and moving forward this is going to be the same group for at least 2-3 years.

I want to attend a playoff game this year

The wolves could potentially sneak into the playoffs this season, but my main concern is whether Kevin Love can be a successful first option. He's a friggin beast on the stat sheet, but does he have the ability to will his team to wins like other first options in the league (i.e. Rose, Kobe, Durant, etc).

Those 3 have/had pretty damn good cores around them.

Kevin Love top 5 in his position!?!? When healthy he is the best PF in the NBA!

He does moan and groan about Minnesota front office. He's just tryna be labeled as a winner.

 

[tommyicerocking]

you can't be the best PF and not win games...i'd still take Duncan and KG over him

 

[pharelfor3]

Agreed. We need a full season on him being healthy as well

Andy V cleared for all basketball activities

You'd take 2013 KG and 2013 Duncan over 2013 Kevin Love?

Seriously?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Only player I take over Love at PF is maybe Aldridge and that's unlikely. While I'm uncertain if Love can be a go to guy and a team's No. 1 option, he's the best at his position right now.

 

[awwsome]

Dude said he would take Duncan and KG over Love in 2013

"Winners"

I seriously think your the only dude hyped about that news lol

Actually looking forward to his play this season, to see if he can continue last years pace

 

[finallyfamous]

Why wouldn't I be hype?

 

[grandtheftbike]

[noblekane]

Defense though? Dude puts up numbers and always loses. At some point, it loses its luster. Do some more of that in the 4th or something, win a game.

Love, LMA, Quake. One will emerge as the best PF with KG, Timmy, Dirk fading.

Here's one: Is anyone daring enough to bite on Dre Drummond's ceiling over Love's proven worth?

Hehehe

Love is the PERFECT PF if you have a center like Hibbert or Noah.

Love is the PERFECT PF if you have a center like Hibbert or Noah.

This is why I've wanted the FO to make a move for him since that Yahoo article... Their rebounding/passing ability would be a thing of beauty.

I sincerely doubt it will ever happen, but I NEED it too. |I

 

[champcruthik]

I think Love would play in Chicago, but the Bulls lack the pieces to secure him. It would take Noah and more, which defeats the point/purpose illustrated.

if it can happen without moving noah/derrick/jimmy it needs to happen point blank

 

[champcruthik]

Boozer, Deng, and additional pieces? Minny would never accept.

bulls need a 2
