    This needs to have its own thread. And we should be the only team in the Kevin love race outside of maybe the clippers. But this is another way we can give a team cap relief and essentially get a star for expiring contracts/ and NGS. This better catch some steam

    Get Love to Houston! We should try to work this out before Kawhi decides. Bc then LAC could get in this

    Tad said there would be fireworks so I'm just wait to see if Kawhi asks for a sign and trade to Houston.

    That's why we haven't made any noise yet. Keep the powder dry for Kawhi...

    At least we know Shump can do something positive for us.

    I don't know about getting Kevin Love to Houston, but I do know that there are very few paths to getting another max contract contributor to Houston, and this is one of them. This is part of my issue with Tilman saying, oh we can go into luxury tax now, there are no limits. Okay, even if that's the case, how do you get there? I guess you can re-sign guys with bird rights and hope to trade them with picks for more salary, but that's about it. If Houston doesn't sign Shumpert to a decent contract, that's a pretty good sign Rockets aren't serious about increasing their spending in the near future.

    If, and it's a big if, they let Shump go then they have committed to not being a lux tax team imo.

    Came to say exactly this. If this is where Rockets fans are at then perhaps it's time I take a long look in the mirror and re-assess my life.

    The Warriors are broken up.

    Kevin Love would absolutely be a good player here if you think he can be healthy.

    I was interested by thread title.

    I then you attach a holic post which basically means this cannot happen since he has never been right. SMH

    I'm DONE. ZERO STAR THREAD.

    Get Love before the Warriors do.

    Remember they sniffed around him in 2014 when they refused to part with Klay for Love.

    We won't be so lucky this time

    It's our only chance dorian!

    The GSW are fine. 2-5th seed if nothing else happens. Durant made a strange choice with Irving. Odd couple.

    The last time KL was "healthy" was 4 years ago. he's been on a huge decline ever since. I wouldn't put my hopes on him all of a sudden flipping the switch and being on the floor enough to really help this team in the long run. from the shoulder, to torn ligaments in his hand, broken hand, toe surgery. at 30, this guy is pretty banged up all over the place

    Come playoff time I think they are dangerous, but if they finish the season as the 2 seed they need to instantly give Steph the MVP, no need for a vote and put him on the logo. Klay won't be there for half the season (at least).
