I have no choice but to be excited. Not gonna poo poo the OP because I have no reason not to believe. Have to think that this is a love trade though. Too many balls in the air with Melo for the OP to be this certain this soon. If true, we have the best team in the league; with or without Parsons.
So you just went to Lunch (meaning you were at work) and gave us some scoop. Now you are on a flight? Do you work at the airport? Wait, you are that same guy that saw McHale on a plane the other day?
I'd go with Love everyday of the week even if the price is Parsons. Love is 25, Harden is 24 and both are superstars. If healthy, they alone can create a 7 year contending dynasty, that is insane! Throw in Howard who still has 3 years playing at a superstar/allstar level and we're set. Plus, even when Howard degresses, Love and Harden will be in their primes and Howard will still be a very serviceable center as he ages (if stayes healthy). We'd have plenty of time tp upgrade the bench and our weaknesses over our 7-8 year championship window.
