Guys, does anyone have any information and update on Kevin Love's trade???
He hasn't been happy in Cleveland and it is clear.

What are the possible teams he can go to? Warriors? Portland? Or another team?
Well we say in his past interviews that he wanted to go to Portland because that's his hometown.

And we wanted to play along side Lillard, so we will have to see about that.

   “Who wouldn’t want to play with Dame Lillard, first of all,” Love said on “Posted Up.” “Dame, he’s special. He’s amazing. I claim Portland when they ask me where I’m from...

    Whether it be at the end of my career, whether it be in six months, or whatever it may be, if I was wearing a Portland jersey, that’s special. That’s playing at home.”

Thanks!
Hmmm, I also agree, I read in some websites, Kevin Love shown some interest in playing in Portland.

One team that I heard a rumor, that he could go to, is Timberwolves or Warriors, but are just rumors.

I believe he will go to Portland.

Love to Portland would be awesome. Dame hasn’t been happy and I think that move might be able to keep him around a little longer. I’ve always thought Love has been under appreciated since leaving Minnesota. He does deserve to get out of Cleveland and go to his hometown Portland or his original team Minnesota.
Yes, Kevin Love grew up and studied in Oregon, so he has affection for Portland.

Love is a good player, but unfortunately his weakness is his defense, he is a more offensive than defensive player

Even though he's over 30, but Love can make a difference in Portland.

I've been watching a couple of Knicks games recently and am so excited to see Rose again performing at a high level. They rally behind him to beat the 3rd seed in the west, LA Clippers. I dont really know what to make of Clippers. Sometimes Kawahi barely does anything during the game and the others, he's leading in scoring. Are they "saving" him for the playoffs? and asking him to not strain himself during the last few regular season games.

The question is what will it take though for Portland to get Love? Might include several players for a trade, or Portland unloading some to clear Love and cover him for the salary cap.

Definitely, this is a win-win situation for Love, you can play in front of your families and friends (it fans are allowed in limited capacity). Well he was under appreciated because he transfer to the Cavs wherein Lebron is the star. But since Lebron left, the team is a disaster, time for Love to move as well and look for better teams that will appreciate his effort.

The Lakers have a game today.

They are up against the Phoenix Suns, and they are +7.5.
will the lakers pull an upset today? they need a win and this win will be big if they can do it.
I believe they still have Davis in this game, so probably they have a chance to win.

What are your thoughts guys?

It's indeed an important game to them to stay and keep their position and even try to move upwards, it's just a 2 wins away from
Blazers, with those remaining games that left between this two teams, positioning still unsafe.

Though it will be a tough challenge for AD since LeBron, Kuzma and Schroder  are all out. Offense will be more focus with AD and
he really needed to step up trying to lift his team to win and to continue the chase of a much better plaece coming the next round.

+7.5 might be good if you are a Lakers fan, they are in need to work together anything can happened. Good Luck!

Miami Heat are crushing the Boston Celtics on ESPN right now. They have a near 100% chance to win before halftime! Looks like they might score over 150 points at this pace. Fair to say they’ll cover the over. As a team they’re shooting 55% from the three point line so far. Just one of those days you want to get over with for the Celtics I guess.
They've cut the lead already to 15 points, but Miami's continues to hit three's that's why they're still in the lead. Boston need to trim it to manageable lead going into the fourth quarter so that we will have a ball game here. I like this Fournier guy, he has a good touch from the perimeter but can dribble penetrate.
Unfortunately, Boston was not able to make a complete come back and they lose this game. It was still the same Heat who beat Boston in the last ECF,  and it's good to see them playing again, maybe we will see them again in the playoffs and the Celtics has to make revenge here. Nice points distribution here for both teams, it's just that Boston was not able to make a comeback like what they did against the Spurs,  not enough time.

I think it is about seed this year and not how close isn't it? Maybe I know wrong but the teams at 7th and 8th seed will play for 7th seed and winner of 9th and 10th will play for a chance of 8th, then loser of 7th and 8th game will play the winner of 9th and 10th and the winner of that will become 8th seed. That is what I know will happen on both, so no matter how close it is, 11th is out for sure in both cases, and no matter how further away the 10th will have a chance. That is what I got from the FAQ of NBA website but that is what I understood, maybe I am wrong.

At the end of the day whoever bets on Lakers not being in the playoffs this year and losing during the play in tournament will be very mistaken, they are a very good team and they will most definitely end up winning for sure. They will have Lebron back and AD healthy by that time for sure.

Warriors with amazing Stephen Curry are going crazy, they keep winning and I don't see they will stop any time soon!

They keep on winning because they face a weaker team, they just have 2 straight wins now but on the same team which is the OKC.
With that win, that brings them to number 8 in the ranking and their chances now in the playoffs have improved.

The next game is against the Utah Jazz, if they will beat the Jazz, then I'll go hands down for them especially Curry.

Warrior as in a 2 game winning streak, not bad to be in number 8, but they are just a game ahead of the Grizzlies. If their next game is against Utah, it will be a difficult game because obviously, Utah is the top seed right now.and also on a 5 game winning streak of their own. The Warriors needed all the help they can give to Curry to push the team and gets closer to the Lakers for the 7th spot. So every game counts now specially 6-10 who are battling for a position.

Even them losing 8 of last 10 games I believe they will end on rank.6. Blazers have harder schedule than Lakers.

We can suppose that the Blazers will lose 3 of the remaining five games. In this case, the Lakers will need to win at least four upcoming games to return to rank 6. I guess the Lakers can win the Rockets, the Pacers, and the Pelicans, but they most likely will lose the Suns and the Knicks.

The Lakers will undoubtedly go to that new "play-in tournament" which Lebron Hates the most. He wants to fire whoever invented that kind of innovation in the NBA. As you can see, they are struggling too much this few games away from the NBA playoffs. the next games will be a real battle for them. Guess that their plan to make AD and Lebron in the late games of the tournament was not successful since they are having some hard time adjusting back to the games that's why they keep losing these few games left.

Because it means more games for them, that's why he hates it. And as you have said, they are struggling so this is going to give them more problems later. Their schedule is bad as well going into the closing of the regular season. They have to face tougher opponents.

Maybe they can win agains the Rockets, but Pacers and Pelicans are dangerous teams right now.

On East there are 4 teams that could still play in play in. Knicks, Hawks, Heat and Celtics.  Celtics play two times with Heat and once with Knicks, so they hold keys to not be in play in in their hands. If they win those 3 games they are out. Heat also. if they win both games against Celtics they are out although their schedule is hard. Hawks have easiest schedule and are definitely safe and will probably start playoffs from 4th position.

Lakers have been doing really bad and come down to the 7th position in their conference. We are very close to the end of the regular season. If they don't manage to finish at top 6, they won't be able to promote to the 1/8 finals. Lebron James is likely to return on May 11. I hope it comes true and he can save the team.

Nah, not that easy, he is on and off in basketball, he might not be as confident as he was before he was injured, and we also have to pay attention to the risk of re-injuring himself again. Lakers has really dropped, they need a win of course but I don't really mind if they will rank 7 or 8, as long as they make it to the playoffs, as they still have a good chance of upsetting a higher ranking team.
