Sources: Kevin Love has been added on Rockets list

Don't get any ideas Russ.

Unless you are both can guarantee to turn up the defensive efficiency and production. Then, maybe.

Love auditioning to the rest of the league

 

I have a sneaky suspicion we might trade Capela for Love

 

Capela's salary alone doesn't get Love.
Unless they're trading Tucker & Capela OR Westbrook, they don't have the salary.

 

Can Love come here for a few million?

 

For a few million? Buyout?

Unlikely.

 

Yep. This is no where near the josh smith situation

 

We are interested in him but sign him at 35, 36 years.

 

Capela and NENe gets Love

I would also throw in a first rounder for Kevin Porter Jr.

 

He may have a $10M cap number or cap hit but his salary for trade is only $2.5M.

• 2019 Likely incentives: $7,435,247 -- 1) $2.435M for playing at least 10 games and 52+ wins; 2) $2.5M for playing at least 25 games and 52+ wins; 3) $2.5M for playing at least 40 games and 52+ wins
• 2019 outgoing/incoming salary for trade purposes is $2,564,753
• 2020 non-guaranteed, fully guaranteed on 02/15/20
• 2020 Likely incentives: $7,307,009

 

I'm convinced some people just want to see a trade happen because it's cool to see a trade happen.

 

That might be the case for a few.

But ,KLove provides ELITE ...

Shooting
Rebounding
Passing
Post game

And, his defense is much better thank folks give him credit for. Good position defender...esp. in the post.

Make no mistake though, it's the first four that will help make the Rockets a well oiled machine.

His talent has been hidden by LBJ, and injury. Cleveland has also been waiting to try to move him...here we are.

 

GSW spent well over the luxury tax to win a couple of rings. Despite how our owner seems to be cheap or frugal about the situation. Can we just take on a contract like that on some f*ck it type ish and pay luxury tax?

 

I don't think Love sucks or anything, and i think he would fit here, it's just that i see a lot of "i'd trade X for Y in heartbeat" without considering what we can realistically get and if it's actually worth it, it's not even just about Love but in general like, for Covington, Crowder, Iggy...people would give away players and picks like there's no tommorrow, and for me that doesn't really make sense, at least in some case.

 

Loving this if it goes through. Low risk, high reward.

 

Low risk???

 

All of the top teams have a big that he can team up with also.

 

KLove is the perfect big for this offense, defensively we might as well hope and pray, but I'm all in on KLove
