Was hoping to get thoughts on this pick-up. Cost me $280 dlvd. I know his stuff has jumped a lot this season, but I thought the price was reasonable especially with a pretty sweet patch. I'd love to hear some thoughts though.

stick with baseball.........j/k :lol:

With essentially all of exquisite basketball cases dried up, you can't lose picking up any singles. If you believe in Love, great pick up for that price.

Nice. I had planned to pick one of those up when they were around $80. Oops.

If you decide you don't want it and experience buyer's remorse, I'll take that off youre hands. I have been searching for that same exact card for two seasons, but the timing has always been wrong.


So yeah, sweet pick up!!!!!

You bought at the peak, but nice card though.
I've been following prices on them and seem to recall a whole bunch of them ending for around $350. I know prices are way up from before the season but the way I see it, he's made the transition for a very nice player, to a legit star, and the 20 PPG should be enough to keep him there. Of course, I don't know much about basketball which is why I posed the question.

Does the nice patch help the value?

When he gets out of the black hole that is Minn. that card will sell for higher than what you paid, IMO... Sweet Card of a Great Player!!!!

I don't think his cards will go to far up once he leaves the Timberwolves, because a lot of people are buying him expecting to go up.


I honestly think he is a bit overrated since their are a lot of good power forwards, the only thing that makes him better is his rebounding, but he is also one of the leagues worst defenders

True but the guys is getting minutes with the Timberwolfs, if he leaves he might see his playing time decline.

You think that at 20 PPG. 15 RPG he's lose playing time if he went elsewhere?

If he keeps doing what he's doing, anyone that signs him will have to make him a max player or pretty close. Not saying he deserves it, but that's the way the NBA works. If a team makes him a max player, he's going to get his fair share of minutes unless he's hurt.
