Anthony Davis Can’t Carry Hornets; Love Update

by

Our 24/7 coverage of Kevin Love’s broken hand began with a Wednesday tweet by Jeff Nichols, continued through my update Thursday morning, led off Bruce Wrigley’s column on auction drafting yesterday and has since returned to Twitter. My feeling is, Love will be fine, and if everyone else in your league overreacts to this unfortunate news, you should take advantage. Bruce cautions that an injury to the shooting hand can have lasting effects, so even if he returns sooner than the six-week

SH Blog: Lakers may look to acquire LeBron in 2014, Love broke hand doing knuckle pushups

by

News has been floating around on Thursday about the possibility of the Lakers looking to acquire the talents of LeBron James when the best basketball player on the planet becomes eligible to hit the market again in 2014. As ridiculous as that sounds right now, it apparently is in the realm of possibility if James chose to test free agency again.

Love the One You’re With The big news in fantasy in the last 24 hours is Kevin Love‘s injury. Kent broke down exactly what it means in this morning’s Fantasy Spin but I wanted to add a few words more of caution.

Diminished expectations for Love and Lin; Not so for Knicks

by

// At the top of our 2012-13 NBA wish list is the cessation of the overuse of the word “Linsanity.” We had enough of that last year, IMHO, and Lin should drop off the national radar once the fallout from his GQ cover article begins to subside. He had a nice game last night against the Grizzlies with 12 assists and five steals, but he also missed three of four free throw attempts. He is playing on a team that has one

Love Hurts: T-Wolves’ Star Injured

by

If you already own Kevin Love, his fractured right hand is a bad break indeed. If someone else owns him, you might send a friendly note of sympathy and a trade suggestion. If your league hasn’t drafted yet, this is a possible opportunity. He’s certain to fall, from third or fourth overall to much later in the first round, if not lower. In keeper leagues, Love’s value hasn’t changed. Target him. In redraft leagues, you know he’s going to miss a fifth of

Tweet of the Day: Kevin Love

by

You know something is truly shocking to you when you have to tweet about it with a broken hand. Shocked. That must have been how Kevin Love felt, because he did exactly that on the day it was announced he’ll miss 6-8 weeks with a broken hand.
