    @Codman what would you put the odds of the rockets adding a big 3rd option to this team at? Melo, love any big name really

    Love was amazing on the Twolves - double double machine.

    No worries. We understand. We know that with every bit of information you give, nothing is a guarantee until the deal is done. There is some fun in knowing what deals were being discussed that didn't get completed.

    If the choice were between Young or Ellis it'd be Young 11 out of 10 times

    I agree with you that Kevin Love is a really good offensive player that can do more than spot up for threes. It's just hard for me to want to trade for him when he can't guard anyone in Golden State's small ball lineup. I don't like Melo defensively either, but if motivated he has enough lateral quickness to guard guys like Iguodala or Green. Millsap was the best all around option of the three.

    PG13 was the perfect stretch four to match up to Golden State, but unfortunately he wants LA and Indiana wasn't interested in Capela.

    Was he ever a Rocket killer? Sounds more like Monta Ellis or CJ Miles to fill the Lou Williams role.

    To be fair if Love went back to Minnesota Love no one on GSW can guard him either.

    Monta Ellis is absolutely the Rocket killer. He has hit numerous game winning shots and had big games against the Rockets.

    With all the weight Love lost to get in better shape, Draymond can hold his own against him in the post.

    Yeah but will he be willing to be the 2nd man off the bench like Lou? Monta hasn't been known to be the most humble.

    Ellis also looked horrific last year. I'd rather roll the dice on those NGs than to give Ellis significant minutes.

    And his 14m a year contract? I hope not.

    I can't argue that, but both players are a microcosm of my point.

    That said, I'll stop whining and trust the process. DM knows we need another gun. Just because we're striking out so far doesn't mean our bad luck will continue.

    He is also due to miss the first 5 games of the season due to a drug suspension.

    Kid Dynamite was the nickname of boxing impregnator Mike Tyson.

    Tyson Chandler is my guess. It would also explain why Cod is willing to give up Capela in a deal for Love or Melo.
