    The positives far outweigh the negatives.

    Is this a joke?

    This would have been a nice idea 4 years ago

    So....

    We basically gain an injury-prone Ryan Anderson replacement and lose our only rim protector while gaining no salary relief.

    I guess the “risk-profile” is going up even more

    Jimmy would be nice but he just isn’t the fit we need.

    Love is exactly the fit we need.

    I would prefer Jimmy Butler over Kevin Love.

    Lots of discussions.. Lots of targets. Moreys whole team has been putting lists together with possible moves. There not a plan A, B, C. Theres a plan A-Z.

    These types of moves are inevitable. The Rockets have no way to legit improve a lot.

    Every move will be extreme high risk and variance. See: Melo.

    KLove was pretty bad this year when healthy. The only thing he still does well is rebound and is an ok 3 point shooter. Theoretically he would be better here though that’s true.

    Disagree.

    This team desperately needs a low post threat and most importantly a pick and pop threat with harden and Chris.

    You think teams fear Capela stopping and popping in the pick roll with harden or Paul.

    You think they have to worry about Capela pulling up from the 3 on the pick and roll.

    @cyberx said it best SPACING.

    Oh it’s damn true.

    I get the Ryan’s Anderson comparisons but this is on another level actually in another galaxy.

    the rockets are spaced just fine. you don't have a top offense without this.

    this team desperately needs a postseason closer thats what it needs

    Yes he’s had his injury concerns.

    But he’s still only 30.

    That Cleveland system did him no justice.

    If LerBon can drag these guys to the Finals, why can't Harden? - Morey
