Would Love guard the PF?" Who would you rather have out of position? Im of the opinion Id rather have my best player playing in the natural position than Love. “Why would Love start at the 5 instead of Jefferson if they are playing together? Would Love guard the PF?”

Who would you rather have out of position?

Im of the opinion Id rather have my best player playing in the natural position than Love.

Once again McHale has gotten a player who doesnt fit. Either way Love’s future on the Wolves is as a Backup 4 or a starting 5. Once again McHale has gotten a player who doesnt fit.

Trading Jefferson is a possibility too. I just really really dislike Lopez. Pointless - Sure. Trading Jefferson is a possibility too. I just really really dislike Lopez.

Exactly, so where does Love play in the future? He'll either be the back up behind Jefferson because we drafted or signed a center allowing Jefferson to move to PF. Or we didnt draft or sign a C and Love has to play it, something he's too small to do. Those are the options. "I can wait a year or two until we find a better player than Lopez to play the center spot. " Meaning Jefferson moves to 4 and Love is the back up. “We don’t need anything right NOW unless you’re trying to build this team to win right NOW.”

This is where you and I are gonna disagree. I flat out think Lopez is an oaffy bum. I don't like his game and I don't want him on the team just because he is a 7 footer who can block a shot or two. I can wait a year or two until we find a better player than Lopez to play the center spot. B. Lopez isn't getting these awesome help defensive blocks...they are lame standing under the rim blocks...you show me some tape of him getting some Cambyesque or D-Ho blocks and I'll listen. Thabeet would be better as he is more of a defensive guy and would allow Al more touches. Pointless - We don’t need anything right NOW unless you’re trying to build this team to win right NOW.

But you've got to move at least one of Jefferson, Love, and Smith if you're going pick him. There's no room for all four here.
