No love for Love?

In last couple of days there are many rumors about who will Timberwolves draft. Some of them are really interesting but this loudest rumor about drafting Love really pisses me off.

So DraftExpress.com has reported that McHale is looking to draft Kevin Love out of UCLA. He's 19 years old and had a great season in NCAA, he has nice range, he's good rebounder but I really doubt he will do something significant in NBA. To me he is an pretty undersized big man, and we do not need another undersized player. If he could become descent NBA player he would probably look nice next to Al, but there are many question marks on this guy. And then again we surely won't draft him from #3 so we have to make trade down. That supposes passing out on Mayo, Lopez, Bayless and a couple more players that will probably have better careers than beach boy. There's rumor about trading down to Bucks for Bogut + #8, but I really think there's 0% chances that this will happen. Bucks FO is insane, but not that insane... I say NO to Love. And that means NO under all circumstances! Just when I remember how Anderson dominated Love in their last game. Please McHale don't do this to us. If this really happen, and we again end up with some shitty veteran with that trade down, we should really consider to finding another team to be cheering up. :(
Other rumor is like 50-50 for me. Trading McCants + Craig Smith to Sixers for their #16. Rashad played well last season but somehow he doesn't fit into our system, while I don't consider Smith as somewhat valuable player for Timberwolves. At #16 we could get pretty nice big man. Hibbert will probably be there, Robin Lopez, (Kevin Love :D ) or maybe even some better center. This trade could work nicely for us. Drafting Mayo and Robin Lopez would improve our team nicely. To hell with this, I'm all for making this trade, this could work out very well for us. :)
