    Can we accept Love into our cap space by giving them House, Hartenstein, Sefolosha, etc.?

    Westbrook or Harden must be on their way out.

    Unless we've all been grossly misinformed about how the NBA cap works, we can't add anybody even remotely at Love's salary, and if the Capela deal is done TT is off the table as well.

    So, I'm calling BS on this.

    if etc = Harden or Russ then yes

    there's no way to absorb Love without moving either player. Unless Morey is feeling randy and is dealing Tucker, Covington, plus fillers to get Love.

    This is why I think we get Myles Turner he’s also mentioned in brabra tweets about possibly being traded.

    Brabra has mentioned Love not being traded in his tweets.

    Turner isn't possible without trading Tucker now and I don't think that's the move. We could technically keep House and take back other players of theirs into our TPE but that's really not in our best interest. Tucker makes this engine go.

    he mentioned Turner being on the trading block; not necessarily going to any team in particular.

    i also have a hard time believing that Indiana will waive 3-4 players on their roster right now to make room for PJ and scrubs. Harder to believe still is that Morey is going to trade Tucker away.
