    Since DAntoni does not intend to play Capela in crunch time, it probably is an improvement.

    CF loves the tall white overpaid big man who can shoot. Anderson, Motiejunas, Love...

    Well, the point being moot anyway, since Gordon can't be traded (I think he'd be eligible for trade later in the year, but is it after the deadline?)

    The Timberwolves have been and are still poor at 3 point shooting. Gordon would give them something they need. But, again, moot.

    We let the tradition of drafting tall white 3 point shooters slide when CD left (retired), for we had no Rudy to guide his choices.

    Mirsad "Doogie Howser / You 3, Me Fired" Turkcan.
    Damn Lanky.
    Chase Budinger.
    Bostjan Nutbar.

    Put Love on this team and we yet give up 200 points in a game!

    I'll watch every single game if the scores are at or near the 200s. This would be a great thing.

    Kevin Love is much, much, much more than a jumpshooter.

    He's still got it.

    Elite - Shooting
    Rebounding
    Passing
    Post game

    And, can play defense way better than he's given credit for.

    The Cavs wanted the League to see him play....Well, KLove has looked awesome.

    Whether he can stay healthy, is another question.

    The Rockets would do well to pay the piper. Suck up the salary/Luxury Tax/injury risk...It's a smart play.

    Our rebounding problems would be solved and we would become a well oiled machine.

    im fine with Anderson now that he’s not overpaid. I always liked him until he lost his confidence and stopped shooting.

    Is it worth early round playoff exits every year?

    I can't read the piece now but how exactly are the Rockets supposed to get Love and still run two bigs if we would've to trade Capela in the first place to match the salary? And i'm pretty sure Capela wouldn't be enough to get Love anyway, would've to throw in Tucker or House.

    It says trade Eric Gordon, but Gordon is trade eligible this year.

    Not sure about their three-point shooting, but I always wanted the Rockets to acquire Austin Croshere, Keith Van Horn, and Raef Lafrentz.
