    Why couldn't we come up with something to beat that? Why we'd want Love is obvious, but Martin could actually be useful if we ended up stuck with him. He's averaged around 40% from behind the arc in his two years with the T-Puppies. We have all our future picks (I think), young talent on cheap contracts, and Morey could probably come up with a higher pick this year if it would make a deal for Love. Plus, we have Jones and Chandler, as much as I'd hate to lose Parsons. You do it if it can get you Love, who would have to sign an extension.

    Just saw the post above - great minds! ;-)-

    Clearly Parsons isn't available.

    I hope he is right, oh how I hope he is right.

    I love people acting like the Warriors with Kevin Love wouldn't jump us as a bigger threat.

    Curry/Love is the perfect 1 - 2 punch with Iggy and Bogut providing great defense. Martin is a very solid player still as well.

    I heard the same garbage when the Warriors got Iggy and look at them. The 6th seed.

    Andre Iguodala is a All-Star Caliber Role Player. I never thought they were going to be better than us once we got Howard.

    Kevin Love is a top 10 player and I think Curry is making his way into that category too.

    That 1-2 punch is very comparable to Harden/Howard (i think we would have a slight edge). The supporting cast in GSW is what would put them above us.

    Rockets trying to look if they get involved in a 3 or 4 way deal.. Just doing his job but he has very little hope.


    Broussard is funny.

    Thanks for the update cyber, you beat Broussard to the punch. I can't believe anyone doubts your credibility. I wish you kept us updated even more.

    Not Nothing to see. Thompson being offered might be a game changer, setting up a new round of negotiations.

    Because it's the Bay Area and saying "I just to win" sometimes really means "I just want to live in a nicer city".

    The question is predicated on Love already being in Oakland. As in why would LeBron/Melo choose to go there?

    Maybe 76ers? I wonder if Thad Young might appeal to Minny over David Lee
