    and why trade for Dwight and not trade for Olynyk (cheap love replacement) and Crowder and Zeller (cheap c) plus some first round picks?
    Love has much more value than Dwight has. THey are a lux tax team. Do you know how much is gonna cost them to pay Dwight 30 per? Probably 60 million a year for a team that a) already has good defence b) is gonna get older c)Dwight is much more injury prone than Love.

    and since Blatt got fired Love is used much better.

    I love the "Morey better be looking for a job." He is probably always got his ear to the ground, and there are plenty of people who'd like to hire him.

    Plus, do you think he's enjoying this season any more than we are?

    This seems a bit of a heresy in this neck of the woods but your post is pretty sensible.

    But Capela has been starting for 35 of his 53 games.

    He has come closer to it than TMAC ever did
    and
    He has an inferior Center to what TMac had

    that said. . . i like DWIGHT ALOT
    and I think we should keep him . . .at a reasonable price

    You are under the assumption that Harden will be the only superstar we have.

    I agree, Love would fit into our system and philosophy, much better than Cleveland.


    I wonder if they would give us Mozgov as well. Who would work as dirty work center.


    C - Mozgov/Capela
    PF - Love with Jones or Motiejunas
    SF - Ariza
    SG - Harden
    PG - Beverly/Lawson


    We could try to swing another deal for a point guard.

    That center Tmac had was one of the MOST injured center in NBA history.

    No way we get players with the talent level of Horford, Cousins etc.

    I just don't see how you figure Love has more value than Dwight, yes he's younger and injury prone ect and yes he doesn't have a lot of playoff experience, but hard for me to believe the value thing. I think Lebron and the Cavs are all about now and that means value gets thrown out the window when it comes to them IMO.

    He isn't the issue. I guess I understand, something big needs to change, but remember there is no guarantee we trade him.

    if we do, a wasted era that had so much possibilities in my opinion. Wasted through poor coaching and poor management of talent.
