    Love has played GS in the Finals 3 times. He sucked offensively in two of them and was avg in the 3rd, when they got swept the second time.

    Whatever, I just want to win. So Morey should go hard. The thing that irritates me is the whole "Rockets are good, they arent chokers they just lost to GS whos an all time great team, the Jazz." That should piss off our players the most, Id rather get called a choker instead of people saying you werent good enough, true or not true.

    I wanna sweep them next year.

    Do not want Kevin Love. Will be a regrettable move in my opinion.

    The problem with having a few huge contracts and a bunch of minimums is that in a trade the huge ones cannot be broken up and the min ones are too small for fillers. Our contract distribution makes it very inflexible for trades.

    Give Shumpert 10 million a year
    Shumpert + Capela for Love
    Luxury tax is too high for Tilman

    It has to be Chris Paul in the package, otherwise is not profitable.

    Joke:
    Paul for 25M + 15M (Gianna + Brogdon) s&t
    Paul for 4 10-million players ( 4 Zion Williamsons)

    Jimmy B. over Love also cause this team need more guys with cojones badly imo. When/if Harden has his moments i'd like to have a Jimmy Butler demanding the ball and getting the job done.

    All of the 'Love is injured a lot' happened to Gordon while in NO.

    because it would cost about $45M in salary to get both.

    Hard pass. Lateral moves aren’t going to get it done. Love is washed and McGee is a low IQ player who got lucky to be 7’ tall. I’m quite sure there’s are less expensive options on guys over 6’5” who have shooting range.

    Here we go again with this "floor spacer" bullshit again. :D

    Elite floor spacer!
    Attracts defenders!
    Can shoot it from The Woodlands, Baytown, Galveston & Katy!
    Makes our offense from just very good to elite!

    Yeah, you have fun paying Ryan Anderson $20M and Kevin Love $30M (for "elite floor spacing")

    Hartenstein better be ready to play some big minutes next season.

    Love goes down, and we would have had to trade Nene?

    Unless we could REALLY pull off signing DJ for a vet min.

    Gordon was a young player in NO. Love is definitely NOT a young player.

    This would another bad signing by Morey.

    Love is a horrendous defender. Warriors would destroy him.

    Bad defender on the perimeter against a team like theirs and a poor defender interior as well. He offers no help interior defense andshot blocking presence.

    Whatever he might bring on offense will be completely negated by his defense.

    And then there is that horrendous contract.

    No, please no.

    Love can’t olay defense for the rockets. Nobody sees this? The warriors use to dominate his matchup when they played the Cavs. I’m getting sad about this team

    I think i'd rather overpay (let's say 10/15M per season) a JaMaychal Green than take an overpaid (30M) Kevin Love at this point. Too bad i don't see West let him go, pretty sure he will resign him.
