I checked the last 3 years and only Dwight Howard received 3 Firsts and that was multi-Team and multi-Players. I know 3 Draft Picks have been Traded for a higher Draft
Pick but I think it's ridiculous that fans are considering Trading 5-6 First Rounders, last years 1st, and expiring for Love!

I have faith that McDonough won't overpay for any player.

Just simply reporting the news. I don't think he's worth giving up the farm like others are proposing. Other than that I just thought it was interesting since he was robbed by Marion's no-call. And now he gets the call on KD and he missed all three. Was pretty interesting to watch that unfold, almost a sense of irony there.

I don't understand what your problem is. Wolves did not lose because of Love. They lost because nobody scored off the bench (other than five points from Barea.)

I didn't say they lost because of love. It's like when we were a crappy team and we lost close games. We'd be mad at the refs or Lopez or someone else. But the lost was always a product of something else.

Just pointing out that the league cheated him, then gave him the call this time.

The only reason i started this thread is to have a collective Love thread since people kept posting in a couple of threads about him. I feel like doing that for Frye as well since he's been a hot topic lately as well.

I didn't watch that whole game but I'd wager there were at least a dozen referee errors that were far more egregious than that last one. If I were a Wolves fan I'd probably have been pissed about it but I'm surprised that Adelman, the league and the media treated it as such a big deal. Actually, given that "the hand is part of the ball" there really wasn't much of a foul at all - if any. I'm also surprised that Adelman wasn't fined for his comment. He beat around the bush but his message was clear, the referees make calls for superstars that they don't make for others. We all know this to be true but the league has always come down hard anytime a Coach brings it up.

Definitely the elephant in the room. I know people who won't watch NBA basketball because of it.
