    Rebounding was natural for him.

    I'm not sure. Beal, Butler, Love... That's about it. unless you think we can land AD, KD, Lebron, Kawhi. or unless you think we'd take a PG like Kyrie, Kemba, holiday, or Conley. so butler, beal and love are our best bets at adding a "3rd star"

    Don't kill the messenger here guys. We all know Morey will perform is due diligence on all available options.

    That being said I like him as a player and what he could bring to the table but that contract may very well be worse than CP's.

    People expected love to carry Cavs like he did with Minnesota.
    Timofey mozgov before love IMO

    It isn’t like Morey to chase big names just to chase big names, and target players that will never exceed the value of their contract.

    At least when we tried this with Melo it was for the vet minimum. Love isn’t as washed as Melo, but I can’t imagine a scenario where we would ever look at him and be like, “Yeah, he’s worth every penny of that $30M/year contract”. It’s just not going to happen. We’re better off keeping Capela.

    Didn't he break his knuckles doing a push-up?

    Really interesting how all those players being added to the list (love, butler.....) and we have no cap space and cp3 contract accounts for %30.

    Well, worth it or not, how do you even acquire Love without giving up....whomever? Lose EGO or Capela, etcetera?

    probably not. butler isn't likely either. so love for the right price aint that bad. if love wasn't so injury prone I'd have to admit he's the far better player than capela.

    I was never a fan of Love, even when he was much younger and healthier. I might surrender my Rockets membership card if he becomes a Rocket. Lol

    lol Rockets fans are really desperate again if they're excited about this. Warriors will play him off the court just like they did with Capela.

    Love can take capaela spot. IDK? Maybe?

    love tough from corner three position.

    Not sure where Kevin love fits in with small ball.

    He is nothing more than a more competitive Anderson at a higher cap cost. For the record: Love is and will forever be a POS for stopping Scola’s head.
