    This is a rough idea of what I'm thinking Morey might be able to make happen, a 3-team trade at the trade deadline or off-season of 2014:

    Team X receive:
    Paul Millsap/Josh Smith (on the premise Rockets sign one this off-season)
    Filler (a player from Wolves to make salaries work)


    Wolves receive:
    Team X first round pick
    Houston Rockets first round pick
    Filler (a player from Team X to make salaries work)
    Thomas Robinson
    Terrence Jones
    Royce White

    Rockets receive:
    Kevin Love
    Team X second round pick

    Who says no?

    Asik, Lin, T Rob and draft picks for Love!

    Sign d12 and we got Beverly, Harden, Parsons, Love, Howard

    Love playing the 4 spot with Asik at the five would be terrific. I like the idea of getting Howard but I would love to keep Asik. If we can get Love and keep Asik ohh boy. No team has even a chance to match us on the board. Love also won the 3 point contest, he can stretch the floor, he would be ideal.

    I don't think it adds up like that in terms of rebounding. One of the two will really regress while the other shines.

    You'd probably see them each taking a side, and the rebounding of the other 3 regressing

    What a terrible trade for Minny. Rubio>>>Lin. T Rob is trash. They already have Pek. Minny would rather let Love walk than do that.

    one would see personal stats regress, but the team's rebounding numbers would go up.

    Pekovic is a RFA. He's gonna get his. Not sure how much Minny is willing to pay.

    Love is a statpadder that plays no defense. He's barely all star caliber and that's only because people look at his stats and think he's good. I'd rather have a two way player over Love.

    Someone who gets 20 points and 15 rebounds while shooting 40% from 3? Pass

    only on clutchfans.

    Let me ask you, do rockets play defense anyways? I mean he is an immediate upgrade over what we have at the 4 spot. Plus Asik plays great D.

    Love doesn't contest shots just so he can get good position on defensive rebound. It's so annoying.

    He might be good enough to be a third option on a contender, if he didn't care about stats.

    Lol... usually when you have a weak defensive team you try to add good defenders. We already have a very good offense, but our defense needs a lot of work. A good defensive PF would really help.

    Love is actually a pretty good team defender, you'd need someone with quality individual/help skills at center with him, but he doesn't really miss rotations etc
