    Capela + Gordon + picks + filler for Love + Henson + Osman(if he could be available?)

    I dunno. Rivers takes over as our sixth man sparkplug. Henson starts and we hope he can contribute. Love becomes our third all-star, providing rebounding, shooting, scoring and some post playmaking. Osman is a cheap forward who might be able to provide some depth and defense.

    I dunno guys. Grasping at straws here.

    Love has been the only player that makes since with the Rockets. He fills a need of a stretch 4 who can play small center and rebound. He also has championship experience and can start for us. We don't need a player like Russ or Butler who haven't shown they can win in big games, we need a guy that has been there before and can still contribute.

    I'd take Love over Capela in a heatbeat and have been advocating for him for awhile now. The only other players that could help our team are already unavailable.

    Love would help a lot tbh.

    Slide tucker back to SF. It would be great if we could keep Clint while getting love.

    2 years ago when we won 65 games are record was actually better with ryno starting and tucker off the bench.

    Not saying it made us a better team but record wise we were better.

    Love is Ryno on steroids and he’s good for 10+ rebounds a game.

    Only hesitation is The injuries.

    He’s actually on a decent contract not one of these super mad guys.

    I think he would play better here with Harden and cp3 over Lebron and kyrie.

    He’d slide right in we our 2nd leading scorer.

    I bet we would see the old 22/12 love in houston.

    Most players look skinny in their street clothes. He looked pretty buff in the pic with the dog.

    True.... lol

    But in all seriousness I do think Klove if he can stay injury free (big if)

    He’d be a fantastic fit next to harden and cp3.

    He doesn’t have to play 35 min a game here.

    He can get 30 min a night and get us 20/10 with 40% shooting from deep with all the open space he’ll have from playing off cp3 and harden.

    Plus we can always post him up when the offense bogs down as a last resort which is nice.

    Kevin Love is a step up for Houston. He is still 30, will he be injury free thou? Highly doubt, but so is cp3. If he can play 55+ games and be healthy for the playoffs i guess its a risk.

    I mean Gordon will probably play out this year and bolt for free agency. Capela well is Capela, and surely needs harden to be dominate, he doeest have a post up game like love , and just imagine K.Love playing center from the wing and hitting 3's in this lineup. To me its a total go, and probably the only way Tilman gets a Championship.

    They just got new Jersey's, Imagine the first year where people want there first new jersey Saying Love on the back. It would be totally dope.

    Everyone would be getting a Love Jersey .... this is a 3rd star, not capela.

    Just haven’t seen any news or any tidbit about us showing interest in a Kevin love trade.

    I need a Tweet to get me excited about a possible trade.

    I’ve been on the Kevin Love bandwagon for awhile now.

    He wont get u those rebounds. People yall do know understand our lack of rebounding is a product of us playing 4 out right. Tucker's in the corner. Cp3 is at the 3 point line. Ego is in the other corner. Yall serious think love gonna be rebounding here lol.

    The issue is defensive rebounding, not offensive rebounding.

    I'm not sure how we could get him due to monetary considerations and wanting to keep other key members of the team, but if he comes attached with this, it would sure make the scenery a hundred times better! She has much hotter images that I could have posted, but I figured I'd control myself for once.

    Honestly the only reason we hated Ryno was cuz of his contract. If we can get him to comeback on the minimum I would love it. He would help us tremendously to get through the 82 game grind of a regular season.
