I'm not worried about Love leaving at all. This is all coming from Windhorst's steaming windbag. "Kevin's a different personality, impossible to get a read on, withdrawn from the team."
Go back into the history of the game, study guys like Jerry Lucas, Dave Debusschere key pieces to championship teams;
very very fucking weird personalities. Know who else you probably couldn't get an accurate read on Windy? Jerry West if you we're covering him as a beat reporter and he was a player.
Think they want to feed you trolls?
The most you would get from a guy like Larry Bird was some trash talk that maybe turned into a sound bite, he was unabashed, but he wasn't going to be compliant and be your friend. Bare minimum, Popovich style answers, maybe some real trash talk.
Back to my larger point, some guys just don't want to comply with the media period. If I were in Kevin's shoes, I would do the same thing.
Give them nothing.
Kevin hasn't even made the playoffs yet, he's been in purgatory in Minnesota.
I don't think he's in a rush to go back there via the Lakers
Rational Questions for you people:
I don't think Kevin is desperate to play with Rajon Rondo.
-Who the hell is
really itching to get on Rondo's team?
-How about Kobe?
See what I'm saying. It's all media driven fucking bullshit. Kevin's ambiguity is the only proof of these guys' hypothesis.
That's fucking pathetic.
I'm not even going to call you journalists; you've devolved into TMZ style beat reporters who spew ambiguous "sources" churched up "contacts within organizations". Yeah, I know the fucking ball boy, he's my "insider within the Cavs locker room" who overheard some conversation. You guys keep spewing it, you guys keep collecting and churning this dead story.
Look at the smile on Kevin's face when the crowd gave him that ovation. Seriously, go look. This was his first playoffs, he's basically got a
free ticket back to the NBA finals next year. He's got Dan Gilbert who will pay him a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g and everything.
Just fucking STOP. Can this story come to a grinding halt? Please!
Fuck.
