    Yup, agree on everything here, only thing just be clear, i like Iggy and like you i still think he would make a good impact when it matters so, i'm all for getting him if the price is right, the only problem i have with getting him is that i think this year the West is going to be a bloodbath, aside for OKC and Phoenix, every team is going to be competitive and there won't be games we can win for free so, what scares me is that we would end up overplaying him in the regular season in order to get a solid seed, and that could possibly wear out a guy like Iggy at this point.

    Did anyone see Aaron Gordon in the playoffs? Watch that entire series and he was an absolute non factor.

    i hate to say it, but K Love makes a lot of sense (even though i hate the lack of defense). We need a stretch big who can rebound. if we somehow are able to acquire K Love we'd be able to move PJ back to the 3 (his natural position) to guard guys like Kawhi and Paul George. .

    I couldn't believe it when Love came out as a freshman, but talent is talent...

    First playoffs for him and against a good team like Toronto which played guys like Kawhi, Siakam and Ibaka against him, don't be so down on him, he'll do better next time eventually. Towns and a lot of other guys considered better than him did worse in their first playoff series.

    He is not Magic's franchise player anymore, more like their 3rd option.

    Magic really do not know how to use him, played too much at SF.

    But for the 2019 playoffs he averaged 15 pts, 7 boards, almost 4 assists and 40% from 3. Your definition of "non-factor" makes no sense.

    Is Capela + EGo for Love a good trade for us or no?

    No.

    Need more defense, not less.

    If they're both bought out: Love
    At current contracts: neither (maybe Iggy depending on trade price)

    Timberwolf Kevin Love or Cav version Love in his first year.

    Nothing else.

    We always pick them when they are about to decline.

    No. At this point any move we make has to upgrade depth. Gordon is one of the last reliable shooters left on the team.

    Never been a fan of Love. Nice stats but does not win. Always been a fan of Iggy. Do what it takes to win.

    Makes sense. EGo is a great defender when needed and Capela provides some rim protection.

    I would just add that I think Love's defense is better than his defensive reputation. But yes it would be a downgrade in defense.

    I mean a non factor the same reason Chris Paul was a non factor in the playoffs. Gordon looked lost alot of that series and yes he had good stats but he was pretty bad first game they won and all the others were not even close in Raptors favor. Also 3 years left on his contract.

    I voted Iggy out of the two, but I don’t want either. I like where our team is standing. Sure go get some depth if we can but I say keep Gordon, Tucker, and Capela.

    Capela has the opportunity to redeem himself and really show his importance this year with the big man kind of making a comeback. I wouldn’t get rid of him and I was one saying we should after the GS series. Crazy how quickly things can change.

    He is on a great contract, very team friendly - not max like KLove. Easy to move.
