Personally, I think Love will show good production at over the next two years if he goes to a solid situation.. I think he could provide 15-18 million dollar level value for good teams. I think he could be a top 80 player, still. WILL he be? I dont know - I cant see the future, but why hire Aaron Nelson if not for this exact situation? Where if you keep a guy healthy, he can provide much more value than his acquisition cost
Again, Love might not be that guy, but I really dislike the general idea of 'Guy who was good last year will be good next year' and 'Guy who was bad last year will be bad next year' --- if that were true, all teams would only go after a handful of players and cost amongst those players skyrockets. You have to get value by betting on some guys who were bad recently
