Kevin Love (pictured above):

K-Love doesn't look too happy in that picture, does he? That's probably because he isn't happy—in Minnesota, that is.

Thankfully for Love, I'm looking out for him and predicting that he lands with the Lakers in the summer of 2015. You are very welcome, Kevin.

In all seriousness, Love is an incredible player, and the exposure and playoff experience he'll get in Los Angeles is only going to make him better.

Interesting fact of the day: According to Dan Feldman of Pro Basketball Talk, prior to this season, no player had posted back-to-back 25-point, 15-rebound, 5-assist games since 2006-07. Love has already done it twice this season.

Kawhi Leonard:

By 2019, Tim Duncan will be retired. So will Manu. Tony Parker might still be playing but not at an All-Star level.

Enter Kawhi Leonard. One of the league's most underrated players for the last few years, Leonard will finally get his opportunity to shine in San Antonio. He'll transition into his new role so smoothly that it will convince Popovich to stick around for a few more years.

Stephen Curry:

Mark Jackson will be happy with me for including Steph. Honestly though, how could you not?

Curry's shooting stroke is one of the most consistent in the NBA and that doesn't ever just disappear. He'll be among the league leaders in points and three-pointers until the day he retires.

Dante Exum:

Here's a quick introduction to the super-talented Aussie, Dante Exum. Of all the players in the 2014 projected draft class, he might have the most potential.
