Yeah, I know it’s a long shot getting Kevin Love to play for the Toronto Raptors, but why not swing for the fences?



It’s not like Toronto can’t trump the lame offers the Los Angeles Lakers or New York Knicks are able to offer.

It would be tough to see a package of Amir Johnson, Terrence Ross and a first round-pick being enough to beat the package that the Golden State Warriors could assemble. If the Warriors are willing to part with David Lee, Klay Thompson and a first-round draft pick, the Raptors likely won't stand a chance.

But it’s worth getting into the mix and seeing if they can provide an enticing package to Minnesota while still having a core of Jonas Valanciunas, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry for Love to play alongside.

Obtaining Love is a long shot, but even entering into talks to obtain one of the top players in the NBA is something that will impress the players currently on the roster.
