What jumped out at me the most was how little of a chance Love really gave Minny. From Big Al's and Ricky's ACL tears, to Love's broken hand (due to coming into camp out of shape), and his other mostly lost season due to injury, there really wasn't much time for this team to jell. Realistically, the wolves had two to three seasons of Love in which to succeed with one of them being his rookie year.

I think this team will not lose as much as people think.

Love wasn't so good that we're gonna be 15 games worse without him. I can't remember a game where Love didn't play and I sat back and thought "man if Love was out there we would have won." In fact I remember this team got off to a real nice start when Love was hurt only for Love to whine to Woj while injured.

I get what you are saying but the bottom line is in 6 years the high point was 40 wins last year. Dwight and Lebron left and their teams were contenders at one point. I know some people think Love is a jerk or was one step out already even last year but let's be honest he had to be really disappointed how the team ended up. Last year really looked like we were gonna get to 50 wins at least and we fell 10 games short. If this was a good organization when Love was here we would have overcome some of those injuries but we aren't/weren't. Love is leaving Its time to move on and hope Flip can make this franchise not a laughingstock.
