re: Possible Lakers and Twolves Trade

The Grizzlies made the playoffs and got swept in Pau's third year, but that team was ridiculously better than anything the TWolves had this year.
Clearly what I see as improving the Lakers is something you see as a step backwards. Now I hope the deal is made so we can see.

am i the only one who thinks that Pau Gasol is still much better than Kevin Love?
Pau I believe is 29. Is longer, taller, better with his back to the basket, a better scorer and a better passer.
Love is admittedly a better rebounder. he obviously has more upside.
but just because the lakers had a shitty series versus the mavs doesn't make Pau terrible. A lot of people had a shitty series versus the mavs in the playoffs this year.

First off, I do think Pau is still a better player at this point.
However, if I am given a choice between Pau and Love, I take Love. Some of the reasoning comes from the Dallas series, but age, aggression, and production play a big factor.
The big downside to me is that Gasol is one of the more intelligent players in the league. I think a major reason for his success with the Lakers has been his understanding of the game and how to work with another superstar. Kobe/Pau/Fish all have really high basketball IQ's, which has been a major asset to the team. I have no idea if Kevin Love has an "alpha dog" mentality or any of the other baggage players may carry that we do not see at home.

I just can't see how giving up Love and the #2 pick for Pau makes any sense from the T-wolves perspective at all. The only way this makes sense is if Love is demanding out of Minnesota and then the trade only makes sense straight up or for a late rounder, not the #2!
