Kevin Love's defensive skill, or lack thereof, has not diminished this year. Almost everyone logging significant minutes on this team has had a career low defensive rating to start this season, so it seems to be a system problem with a little misplaced effort sprinkled on top. If we trade Love based on this, it's a mistake.
If we trade him based on his performance against GS in the finals, I wouldn't like it, but I would understand. However, I think Love brought more to those finals games than just stats, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that view. I seem to give more value to intangibles than they are worth.
If we do trade him, is Boogie or another big man is the answer, or will he fall victim to small ball?
Does Paul George have the intangibles to help the team, or is he just a stat man?
