I guess my point here is less anti-Kevin Love and more that I think Niang is an underrated player.
Has some questions if he can hold up in a playoff series, but still, has been a really important guy all season. Such a good fit with Embiid and Harden. – 12:49 PM

Georges Niang is clearly a better offensive player than Kevin Love at this point as a backup 4, especially on a team with Harden and Embiid.
Niang is better at finishing the opportunities those guys create. – 12:35 PM

There are 2 reasons Jimmy Butler relies on guard screens so much:
#1: His goal is to get the smaller matchup before attacking
#2: The “guard” actually has the ability to pop out to the 3 after the screen
He needs space on his drives
Kevin Love gives him a pick and pop threat – 10:59 AM

How would Kevin Love be utilized by the Miami Heat?
Aside from the obvious needs for power forwards and overall shooting, there are deeper reasons to why this makes sense

Kevin Love is not going to “save the season,” but it’s a perfect role player to add to the mix for this Heat team
Can play next to and behind Bam, and ideally help with some of their shooting struggles
Handoff hub, plus a pick and pop threat for guys like Jimmy

Should the Warrior go after Kevin Love in the buyout market?
With an already open roster spot, it’s worth considering. mercurynews.com/2023/02/17/why… – 1:11 PM
