    No in this version it has us re-signing Shump and Nene and non-guaranteed deals for Love. (Not going to happen)

    torn ligaments in your hand, broken hands, and toe surgeries aren't exactly something you fake

    Health and cost.

    Availability and affordability are essential skills.

    Good point. Do you think he could have extended his recovery time and feigned aggrivating a prior injury just stop playing games where he knows they will lose anyways?

    what do you mean? His latest injury this past year was toe surgery at the very beginning of the season in november. he then came back from that only to break his left hand shortly after in January. I don't really see the let me fake an injury timeframe there

    Can we trade Capela for Love and then sign Cousins?

    i think if you go after love, it would have to be capela swap where love becomes our center mainly but can also switch to pf.

    I think the Rockets need to do that anyway, regardless of what happens with Love

    Gonna need an expert to run the numbers on this one. Only thing keeping me from boarding the Love train was the idea of giving of Capela, Gordon or both up for him.

    @BimaThug

    True. If you can add Love for expirings and picks you have to take the gamble.

    That’s a nice post there @basketballholic

    Always seeking to sign someone for a bad contract. It's a few years too late to be signing Kevin Love.

    I would trade Capela and a re-signed Shumpert for Love, then start him at center with Hartenstein behind him. If you use the remainder of your MLE to sign Marcus Morris you'd have a team like:

    PG: Paul / Rivers
    SG: Harden / Gordon / Green
    SF: Tucker / House
    PF: Morris / Clark
    C: Love / Hartenstein

    Funny enough, I was JUST thinking about this concept last night (albeit on a smaller scale)!

    Hypothetically speaking, I think holic is right about the possibility. I highly doubt it happens, but it may just be possible.

    Kevin Love is always ALWAYS injured.

    Christ and I thought the whining about CPs contract and health was bad....

    Yeah, I don't see why the Cavs make that deal. Are they in salary dump mode?

    This was not my idea. I simply made the point that Nene could be signed- and- traded just like Shump could. And i was then asked how much salary nene shump and the non- guaranteeds would add up to.

    Read the thread.

    We have an infinite number of combinations and to top all that off we can make deals now and then re-aggregate the new pieces in early September before training camp opens. Technically we could balloon our cap to over $150 million on Saturday and then increase it to over $165 million in September.

    Why didn't you figure out the possibilities and probabilities with Nene here?

    SMH

    You have no ideas.
