    I agree, try to add Covington and love into the trade and sign iggy after buyout. That's a good/deep team.

    Rather have Aaron Gordon over KLove.

    If not doable, then bundle Bruno to Iggy trade.

    Then just extend WB trade so Covington and Nerlens Noel sent to Houston.

    Covington, Iggy, Bruno, Noel would be excellent complements for Harden/Russ.

    Westbrook/Rivers
    Harden/EGo
    Iggy/House/Green
    Covington/Tucker/Bruno/Clark
    Capela/Tyson/Noel

    Rockets still have chance of moving Clint/EGo for 3rd all star if necessary.

    But this is a roster I'd go to war in the west with.

    I did a Bruno/Iggy trade last week for Rockets on ESPN trade machine. It was not allowed; supposedly Iggy
    could not be traded with other members of the Grizz.

    For two months after a trade Iggy cannot be aggregated. Although some would lead you to believe that I fail to understand our use of cap space when we are in the tax and not using cap space. @arabrocket

    No sir I was addressing D-rock post of trading for Bruno/Iggy.

    I believe the talk was about trading this week and not the standard wait 2 months on a player traded recently.

    Thank you for your work Lucky. Keep up the good work.

    Westbrook should be calling Love and telling him that he needs to force a trade. Cavs thinking that they’re going to get draft picks AND young talent for him is laughable. Love should refuse to play until he is traded or else he will be on the Cavs for the remainder of his contract.

    We are on the same page my friend. You were right about the trade being prevented. I was referring to an earlier poster that thought my trade suggestions came from NBA 2K.

    If it's Love, I think he'll be the team's punching bag...

    But won’t he look good sitting on our bench in a suit and tie (injuries).

    I’m not a fan of bringing in K-Love.

    Just add a 3 and D wing then we good I think adding Love we lose Ego and Capela I say hell no because they are valuable to this team and who knows Russ might make them better

    Love for sure... Wade/Lebron/Bosh.... WB/Beard/Love... I know people love PJ (me too), but this is worth making that move... If you can keep Clint and Gordon, we would look fantastic...

    Thanks for clarification AW.

    Separate trade for Bruno (2nd) then. But even without Bruno, like our chances with that roster.

    I agree. I can see great potential with even greater room for improvement with possible key addition(s).

    I can tell we see Bruno C as an under the radar move that would help the current/future Rockets that could happen easily.

    No one wants to send them a 1st round pick. That's why he hasn't been traded.

    The only loophole for Houston is in forward position. We can get either power or small forward, as we can move tucker to 3 or 4 position instead. Get love or iggy are good for Houston without losing our starters including Eric Gordon is great
