    they will have around 15 million. If they want to make such an offer to Capela then please go ahead.

    He's an all star and still rebounds at a high level. An upgrade that allows Tucker to come off the bench which would strengthen our second unit. Love had a decent Finals, he's no warm body IMO.

    I think Ingram is the wildcard, but yes I don’t really like that team as it stands. Moving pieces for Kawhi make that team make a lot more sense.

    Small Ball center. But he can’t switch into Curry.

    He someone you would have to gameplan against over Ryan Anderson. Good rebounder, decent outside shot, above average passer for just a late first round pick. This would be a steal especially if we keep Clint at a discount. Playing with house money!

    Goodbye to our top defense with those 2 starting (and Harden)

    No you wouldn't because he's a bad defender. That's where the conversation ends. We can't afford bad defenders in big playoff games. If you watched the finals the last 2 years you'd know how cooked Kevin Love got.


    This would be a huge waste of a Ryno trade. You should only trade Ryno for someone that can actually help you against the Warriors or not at all. Wed be giving away a pick for a slightly more expensive Ryno.

    That won’t be the starting lineup. It will look more like this:

    Stephenson
    Rondo
    James
    Kuzma
    Ingram

    They will play small ball with Walton running the offense, just like GS. Something tells me they aren’t done either. I could see them signing a shooter like Redick. And not everything be sucks. Randle was a BIG loss but Kuzma is a 6’10” guy that scored on par with Curry as a rookie. He can hit the 3 and score down low. Ingram is solid. Again, they aren’t done. With Randle they could’ve completed for the West. Without him I doubt it but they will still win 50 games.

    I know i was just reacting to all this speculation i been hearing. In reality i don't see us throwing out that lineup. We may get one of Love or Melo though.

    The Lakers supposedly used the Room MLE on Stephenson, so they don't have a NT-MLE available to use.

    No he's not. A small ball center has to have to ability to defend 2-5 almost. Kevin Love can only manage to defend Ok 4s and 5s. Kevin Love is slow and a poor defensive player. This isn't 2010.

    Kevin Love > Ryan Anderson

    If I have to debate with you to prove that, there’s no point.
