    ESPN's Amin Elhassan already did it. Windhorst is a copycat.

    Also, how do you know I am not a reporter? I could be Stephen A. Smith as far as you know.

    I think we'd be better with Love and Anthony than with Harden and Anthony.

    That said, now that I look at the numbers I don't think we'd be able to go over the cap trading Parsons unless Melo took a significant pay cut. But maybe we be could throw the full MLE at someone like Stephenson? Or would we not have the MLE after clearing the cap room from trading Jeremy and Omer?

    I'd do that.

    Howard, Love, Melo, Afflalo, Beverly > Howard, Melo, Parsons, Harden, Beverly. Close but better IMO.

    It's show business, not show friends. Lebron is looking for business partners, not pals to hang out with. It doesn't matter if you people think Lebron and Love are "boys" or not.

    As long as I'm playing Fantasy GM, how 'bout:

    Rubio
    Love

    in exchange for:

    Bev
    Harden
    Parsons
    Jones

    Totally unrealistic, and we'd have no bench, but:

    Rubio
    MLE Free Agent
    Anthony
    Love
    Howard

    Would give us one of the league's best passers, two of the league's best scorers, two of the league's premier rebounders, and an elite rim protector and finisher.

    A guy can dream, right? Hah.

    Yuck.

    I think Love would clash with players on this team. And he has not even wanted to come here. We would be giving assets away for a clown who would leave us and **** us over.

    Morey can't actually be serious.

    So Flip just really like Klay Thompson for some reason. Unless Parsons is off the table.

    My guess on the Rockets offer. Asik(may expand to a 3 way where he goes somewhere else), Jones, DMo, 2 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps, 2 NY 2nd rounders.

    There's quantity, but the quality is certainly lacking. TJones' playoff sucking certainly doesn't help maters.

    It doesn't matter, they will not play a play-off series any time soon. :grin:

    It's sort of strange how little the Rockets are being brought up in the standard media rumors considering how present Houston was in the previous superstar sweepstakes. We know Morey is very aggressive and Love is the best player available before July 1 (and possibly after if Lebron opts in), so is it possible that Morey isn't working that hard toward acquiring Love?

    If it is, that may speak to how confident the team is toward the acquisition of another star -- Melo, for instance.

    We don't have much to offer in this sweepstakes.
