Why Kevin Love is the Answer for the Mavs
I’m a mavs fan, but right now the team is living their last years with the big star Dirk Nowitzki. The mavericks had been building the roster around Nowtizki the last 12 years and the best way to keep this system is bring some player with similar skills.
I was thinking in some forwards with good height, long-range shot and skills in the paint. i was always waiting for a good european forward (Dirk is a star in Europe and is money for Cuban, he doesn’t want to lose that market) in the draft to be the backup of Dirk…players as Jan Vesely, Donatas Motiejunas or Nikola Mirotic, but the first one dissapoint everybody and the others don’t have the maturity yet.Skills Requirements:- Consistent 3 point shot
- Good movement in the key
- Good height (forward/center)
- Currently NBA Star
- Clutch
So after the european failed projects, the only NBA players with Nowitzki’s skills I saw are Chris Bosh and Kevin Love. But with Bosh in the Big Three and multiple rings i don’t see him in the Mavs. The only guy who could replace Dirk is Kevin Love.
Love not just have the Dirk’s skills, he also rebound as a BEAST (13 rebounds per game in the last 5 seasons) and is young in comparison with Bosh and Nowitzki. He also isn’t happy in Minnesota and the wallet of Cuban could help with his decision to leave the Wolves. So The question is:Could Kevin Love become to a best player than Dirk in his great times*?*(2007-2011, MVP and Championship)
