    Everybody saying he’s 30

    News flash Harden is 30

    And Butler is 30 as well

    oh it looked like you replied to @Reeko when he posted how many games love played in the last 3 years as if you sounded like butler played less

    Naw but butler hasn’t played a full season either so I wouldn’t say he’s some kind of iron man like Harden.

    extremely rare for any player to play full seasons these days. harden's probably as close as it gets and nobody here is saying either of them are on that level

    Yeah, but it's more about how you look.

    Harden is still an elite player at 30. Love is not. That means it can only go downhill from here, at least that is what should be expected.

    Absolutely not. But Love is exploitable. By top-end talent.

    I actually think we missed ryno

    He could rebound above avg and had legit size was big for his position 6’10.

    He had a bad year after his injury but he was the starter last season when we got off to that crazy 24-4 start or whatever it was.

    If he gets bought out we should try and get him Back for the low.

    Him and harden are still tight.

    Utterly atrocious. Perfect idiotic one-way scrub for D’Antoni to overplay like Gerald Green.

    That is part of it..... he also knows that almost all of them are long shots..... so he has to have as many options as possible.

    HA! Bzdelik and KLove:

    Bzdelik: "OK, try again."
    KLove: (sighs shakily) "D-U-"
    Bzdelik: "Ah, s***...."
    KLove: "-F-E-N-C-E, 'defense'."
    Bzdelik: "NO!" (palm to forehead) "Not 'duh-fence'. Defense. Go ahead, you can do this."
    KLove: "I'm tired."
    Bzdelik: "You have to get this. Go ahead."
    KLove: "D-f-I-n-c-e. 'Defense'."
    Bzdelik: (sighs) "OK, I'll be back. Go warm up with your teammates." (goes upstairs)
    Morey: "Well, how did it go?"
    Bzdelik: "Kevin Love can't even spell 'defense' and you want me to make this team play better D?"

    I didn’t say he was done. I said at 30 he can’t stay healthy, shoots too many threes, etc.

    19-10-5 easily?? Lol. 19/10 might be possible if healthy. On what efficiency and with what defense?

    being 30 isnt bad. being injury prone all your career while being 30 is bad.

    we have paul to fill that role.

    If the Rockets got McGee it would be to backup DAJ and play like 10 minute a night just catching lobs/vertical spacing against regular season backup players. He can valuable in a limited role keeping the offense balanced. Nothing more would be expected.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Love start at the 4. Especially if the MLE is used on someone like JaMychal Green to man the 4.

    If the Rockets can cobble together a deal to get Love, so be it. I just know that the Rockets better add defenders at the 3-4 spots that are long and good.
