Maybe some of those Minny guys like Pec, Rubio and K-Martin are overrated and they were in the West.
If Minny was in the east and made it to the playoffs and went on a little run like the Wizards -- we'd probably all be drooling over K-Love. I mean his game seems perfectly built for the playoff wars in the paint.
Starting to talk myself into some Love.
Love, shockingly, is only 25 and has the 3rd best PER in the league behind Durant and LeBron (not the 2nd). That should be more than enough to talk yourself into some Love. As I've said a dozen times, the only thing that could be better is if we trade for Rudy Gay to from a Gay-Love tandem in the frontcourt. It'd be great if we could push the ball aboard the Gay-Love Express.
lOVE IS ALSO 25, has been in the league for 6 years and never made the playoffs.. love is a good player, although I think most are overrating this dude... If I were the rockets would I want love? yes, that makes sense.. but If I were a team rebuilding, or a team that needs to rebuild like the knicks, do I give up picks and young players for love? No! not as his price tag.. the dude already gave away that he wants a max deal..
Knicks and knicks fans need to get away from this thinking.. the quick fixes with guys who have not won... had we had our own pick this year who knows, we could be drafting a 1-A (as you guys call it) type talent...
The knicks and their fans want to skip the process of methodically building a team.. instead we shortcut our way only to find out we are further back than we started.. and then we justify it somehow by saying a straight line isn't always the fastest way from point A to point B, and make up reasons why... go figure...
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
