    Really hard to believe Love is 30 years old with how he's been...not sure that's a good thing.

    If there was some way to get Love and keep Capela, I'm all for it. Basically we could slide him in at PF, put Tucker at 3 and never lose any spacing...but I'm not sure how we could get salaries to match...

    so that means getting love and replacing Capela...which I guess I understand...it's a lot easier to replace Capela than a player like Love...but Love is oft injured too so...

    Harden is 30 you think he’s done?

    And Cleveland is nowhere near the system offensively that we are.

    If we get love he could easily put up
    19-10-5 if healthy of course.

    You say this like it's a bad thing.

    Dude can't even ball against a KD less Warriors. He won't win **** as the best player on a team.

    Which player is more playable vs GSW.

    1) Jimmy Butler
    2) Kevin Love

    Give me Butler. You can bet Tilman ("we needed to put boots on throats" in Game 5) would want Butler.

    Aaron Gordon would be amazing here!

    If I were to rank the young players in the league based on current needs/fit, future potential, attainability it's hard to think if a better player to target. Not sure how Orlando feels about him, but I'd be making calls that way.

    Obviously there are better fits, but they might bit be attainable (ex Leonard).

    More needed vs the warriors is the true question.

    For God sake get younger, not another injury prone, 30 year old big man in NBA years means 50 year old in human years.
    Kevin Love looks like he doesn't lift weights.

    Go get Aaron Gordon a 25 year old Forward, who has been healthy, and in shape.

    My two cents... why do we keep getting players that we want 3-4 years after when we should have gotten them?
    • Carmelo Anthony
    • Ryan Anderson
    • Nene
    • Marcus Camby
    • Brad Miller
    • Pablo Prigioni
    Who's next Sergio Llull?

    He may not be available. So, then you have to get players that are available. When it comes to star level players you don't get to *pick and choose* all the best attributes and then pull them off the tree. You have to see who is available and the player that is the best fit, though they may also have their own drawbacks.

    Because their value lowers to the point where they are available. You can only get what you can afford

    If they sign Shumpert for the full MLE, then they can send him to Philly and acquire Butler and Love. I don’t hate McGee off the bench. He brings a lot of what Capela does.

    HOU IN: Butler and Love
    PHI IN: Gordon and Shumpert (MLE S&T or if a match and trade is possible?)
    CLE IN: Capela and Nene (Retire)

    CP3
    Harden
    Butler
    PJ
    Love/McGee

    Just need 3 more rotation/bench players and then the Rockets are set.

    Aaron Gordon battling for muscle rebounds is a HUGE need, plus a elite corner 3 point shooter, dribbler, attack the basket, alley Oop dunker.
