    On First Take. Thinks Love would be better fit. Guarantees Rockets will make another deal today. #MOARthreads

    LoL

    No way in hell.

    All but impossible financially now that Capela is gone .... Unless they are moving Russ or Harden.

    Yeah, you would have questionable defenders and questionable offensive players.
    At least there is only one real 2 way player in Covington who isn't elite on Offense.

    At least shoot, shoot, shoot.

    Harden
    WB
    Covington
    Love
    Tucker or New Center

    How you going to make it happen without including Eric's contract.......who can't be traded.
    Not everyone knows.....

    Yeah they will make another move for that no name center we’ve all been waiting to hear about... please just not TT, and Love wouldn’t be feasible at all

    Yeah I just heard this chuckled.

    I think SAS did hear this though...like a month ago, and he's just returning an old rumor.

    Love is actually impossible to get without Harden or Russ.

    Every other player that is tradeable adds up to $18.5 million lmfao.

    PJ, House, Hartenstein, Thabo, Ben and Chandler = $18.5

    That Daryl Morey, he's a wizard, blah blah blah.

    Literally has to trade at least 9 players to get enough salary for Tristan Thompson. Would have to trade Russ or Harden to get Love. Why is he allowed to say things that have 0% chance of happening? If he said they were trying to get Thompson after a buyout it'd make sense.

    Not possible unless you trade JH or RW, unless the reports are wrong about the 4 team trade being official.

    Impossible via trade, has to be a buyout and we're not any buyouts first choice.

    I say we let the less knowledgeable Clutchfans members believe this is a true rumor and let them have their day. Lol. The rest of us knows the reality. Unless, of course, Morey called Silver after how much he has screwed around with us and told him that Eric Gordon needed to be tradeable or else. Lol.
