    I appreciate @James&PaulAttornysAtBall and @Nachobar for sharing any information they hear. I understand how fluid this can all be. Morey may pull the trigger on one out of fifty trades that come across his desk. Doesn't mean that it wasn't being discussed at the time.

    Not sure if anyone already mentioned this, but maybe signing MCW was just a favor for the agents at Excel Sports. Maybe he's the "warm body" that gets us closer to the "hotter" commodities. I believe we're getting Kevin Love somehow.

    Look at their client list: Kevin Love, Kyle Korver, Tyson Chandler, Joe Johnson, Brandon Jennings, V-SPAN!!!

    aahh that again. I thought I missed something while I was asleep.

    Let's repeat again:
    The Bucks CANNOT absorb back salary.
    It's impossible. At most it's about a Rhyno for Henson + Delly deal.
    It has about 1% probabillity.

    I am exhausted repeating over and over how very very very bad it would be to try and trot out Kevin Love against the Warriors in the playoffs against their small ball lineup. He literally cannot defend anyone in the Warriors small ball lineup and Love is just a bad defender in general anyways. The Rockets season success was STRONGLY dependent on their DEFENSE along with their offensive efficiency. Their defense was especially important in the playoffs against the Warriors. Adding a guy like Love sends you BACKWARDS. Love is a liability against the Warriors, end of story.


    If anyone here had bothered to watch the finals in the last 2 seasons then they'd know to not even bring it up in the 1st place.

    only when they deserve it.

    but seriously, if someone is spreading nonsense or inaccurate information, I appreciate people like me who set the record straight on cap situations and procedure etc.

    Yea, but if you watch Love against Curry 3 years ago, Curry couldn't get past Love.

    Love completely stopped Curry everytime he tried to get in the lane.

    Curry couldn't even get past Tristan either. Love and Tristan just dominated Curry defensively

    (Dumbass Cavs actually believed this and gave Tristan that big contract and ignoring the fact that Curry was hurt...I mean...he couldn't get past Love. LOL)
    That was the beginning of the end for Cavs, thinking Tristan and Love could defend against the Warriors

    I don't think Rockets should risk spending more tham minimum on Luc, and he's going to want more. It he does come back for the minimum he'll be advised to sit out if he evens feels a pinch of some pain so he can get paid next season. His shoulder could either give out again next season, or mentally he still wont be healed from the last two. If he's not 100% confident in his shoulder, the Rockets should move on nd find a replacement. Its just a shame the Rockets lost Ariza and potentially Luc for nothing in return.

    Luc is sort of in the Cousins situation.

    Can cp3's deal be flipped in a trade this season? It seems like a crazy deal if the deal is for him to stay the whole 4 seasons.

    You do not flip CP3. How would that rub off on future stars .
