At least, Carmelo has been in the playoffs..... Love still hasn't experienced what the playoffs are like because he's more interested in padding his stats. |

How is Love a better 3-point shooter when he shoots a lower %? |

The question is really... Melo with Exum/Gordon/Noah Vonleh/Smart/Ennis
or Love traded for....
Give me Melo with the prospect in that scenario... but really I'd like Monroe and Stevenson if possible... with the prospect - or even Deng on a one year deal... with Lowry on a long term deal. _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers?

fair point.
Love is 38%, (176-464)
Melo is 40%, (165-408).
Love career: 36%
Melo career: 34%. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Exactly.
It's so negligible that you can't sit here and say that Love is a better three point shooter. That are basically even in that department. |

Love cannot create his own shot and stinks it up in second halves of games. He is also the worse defender of the two.
Carmelo is a franchise player and can be a number one guy. Kevin Love might be the best number two guy in the league (not actually sure about that), but he is not a number one guy and should not be paid number one money.
But my answer was neither. Rather use the cap space on younger, rising players. _________________ Kobe |

If we were just "picking one up", I would be happy with either. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

If we draft Embiid, I'd much rather our power forward be Greg Monroe. That way you can out rebound opponents and kill them on the inside with your bigs, which has often been a succesful Lakers formula. _________________ Kobe |

If Melo/Love were making the same amount, that would be a big factor for me. But from all appearances, it looks like Melo will be making at least $20-23m, which is a good amount over what Love would make. The contract amount is the game changer for me. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

The question to me sounds like we are just adding one of the two, no penalties involved for adding them. So I assumed salary is the same, and we give up nothing to get either. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

In a pure vacuum, I go with Melo.
But given our salary cap situation, Love fits better in terms of age/salary. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I chose Love because we've seen what Melo can do with other stars on his team. Love has never really played with another star on his team (and please don't say Rubio). It could either be better or worse. But sometimes thats what you have to do, take risks. |

If age and contract were equal, I'd take Melo. But since they're not, I'd go with Love. Not thrilled about either. |

I would go with Melo also, but I'm a Melo fan. |

Kevin Love's rebounding alone is championship material, but he brings so much more to the table. He'll space the floor, be tough on the inside, and he has a very high bball IQ. |

I agree on that. |

Does it matter which one we have, if Antoni is still the coach? That's a serious question. _________________ Lakers, today. Lakers, tomorrow. Lakers, forever. |

Neither at the expense of the draft pick, maybe Love in '15. If he really wants to be here. |

If you're still trying to make it to the playoffs, in the East this season, your team sucks. |
