    Who posted that, because it's deleted now.

    Did some fake source dude try to spread a Gordon/Love trade rumor, and then go "oops."

    So, a Ringer dude. For those keeping a scorecard (@The Cat) on twitter accounts claiming sources, was the tweet worded as speculation, or did he cite a source placing Gordon in a trade?

    just curious, since he deleted the tweet.

    It wasn't claiming sources, just a strong endorsement of a Gordon + Nene + picks for Love deal for Houston, from a basketball perspective. However, the fact that Gordon not being trade eligible this season wasn't mentioned despite several paragraphs of analysis would lead me to believe that he wasn't aware. Disappointing.

    I would rather have Sabonis but his value is at all-time high now.

    Love is a lot better defensively than he was in Minnesota. In Cleveland he had to adjust to James and Irving. He didn’t get the shots so he worked really hard defensively. He still can struggle in certain match ups and in transition defense but he is passable on that side of the ball.

    Since a hypothetical trade for Love would have to include Capela, which means we’d bolster one strength by weakening another, can someone take this thread out behind the barn and shoot it?

    Sabonis isn’t the one that will be moved.... the kid from Texas is the one they have put their toe in the water to gauge value.

    Agreed, especially when it'd take, what, 30 seconds to pop it in something like RealGM to see if it's even possible.

    He'd get clowned posting something like that here, and we're not even being paid to bloviate like he is.

    Love's making----LOL!---29 million this year. It'd take 23-24 going out the door to match salaries. Who'd he have in mind, because Gordon + Nene won't cut it. Or are we ignoring salary in Ringer-land too?

    He probably doesn't realize that Nene will NOT get 10mill this year...

    I like Clint a lot, but Myles Turner in a ROX uniform is awfully intriguing. It’s probably impossible, but I would give up *a lot* to pair Turner/Sabonis with JH/Russ. If we could keep House, PJ and fill the rest of the roster with defensive bets and Clemons esque snipers...oh man

    I can picture Morey taking this as a dare and spending hours pouring over his worn, dog-earned copy of the CBA in search of a loophole.

    He's like a premier player as of right now. Even OKC would rather have him back for Adams if they could.

    KLove is pure dreamcasting. Or nightmare, depending on your BB IQ.

    Sign Lance Thomas, Jonathon Simmons, Anthony Randolph or Corey Brewer.

    Either of these guys can help more than Thabo, Nene or GGreen.
