Love absolutely doesn't have

Love absolutely doesn't have a single low post move to speak of.

He has KD on him in the low

He has KD on him in the low post and he would pass it every time without even trying to back him up. I'm thinking he has at least 60lb on him.

Maybe he knows what he's

Maybe he knows what he's doing. He did get 7 assists on the night.

I think in the long run him

I think in the long run him not being a post player is going to affect them. When you can't even post up someone that you out weigh by 60lb. Maybe thats why the Wovles haven't been a winning team.

Maybe if they don't retain

Maybe if they don't retain Pekovic.

Low post play isn't even necessary in the NBA. It's even less necessary in Adelman's offense where the pinch and high post are more important (both places where Love can be effective).

That certainly isn't why they haven't been a winning team though. Now you're reaching. It is however the reason why he's not a go-to scorer.

Long story short. Me

Long story short. Me preferable I wouldn't want PF that the main chunk of his offense is being a long range gunner.

That's great. Good thing

That's great. Good thing Kevin Love contributes more to an offense than just shooting long range jumpers.

It's not about what I say.

It's not about what I say. It's about what he does. Even if he's not a go-to low post option he still gets plenty of points around the rim and at the line.
He averaged 26 ppg last yr, his mid-range and beyond game only accounted for 8 of those points.

Dude, I meant that cause I'm going drop this this topic. He isn't a PF I would want. I wasn't trying to come off being rude because I wasn't trying to be.
