    How does Love fit with what we’re doing? We’re rebuilding.

    Every player that becomes Available or hits the market doesn’t need consideration from the rockets

    Adam Silver happily allowed his league to become a non-competitive front-running bore. Terrible commissioner.

    It's crazy how fast the league is changing. Love changed his game mid way through his career to become a stretch 4 and that position is already being phased out for small ball or skill ball. The 4 has full perimeter skills regardless of height. He started playing a lot of center but he's not a great fit there either considering most teams want their centers to be decent defenders and pick and roll lob threats.

    Oh that's easy. We will take Love off of your hands... if you also give us the 3rd pick

    And then we will sit Love on the bench and never play him

    If you can flip Wall for Love with any assets in return, you do it. They both make insane salaries of the same length but the re flip market for Love is probably higher if he returns to something like mid era Ryan Anderson form.

    Pretty impossible though, Cavs already feel like their backcourt is crowded and want to develop youngins too.

    All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

    The Cavaliers have been open to trading Kevin Love just like the Rockets have been with Eric Gordon

    I bet Murray wanted in on that Love action.

    Here is my suggestion. Knicks are going to strike out on any FAs and they need a PG in the worst way. Go ahead and take on John Wall. I'm okay for Rockets to take on K Love on a slightly lesser salary to get JWall the hell out of here. I don't want anything stunting the growth of our guards.

    Why do people think the knicks want john wall? They already have an injury prone, has been, point guard in Derrick Rose at a way cheaper rate. I dont think they are that desperate to add someone, that they will just get anyone. Wall can only be traded for another awful contract or if we give picks away, which i think is not worth it, we are rebuilding.

    Arguably, that might apply.

    Because we like playing trade games and imagining that teams want our trash.

    Nobody wants Wall without lots of draft compensation. He is by far the worst contract in the NBA right now. Injured old players that were never that good in the first place who are making supermax aren't players teams want unless they are in a total rebuild and there are draft picks associated with it.

    They are actually idiots, instead of signing ex stars on their last legs, they should get younger talents.

    The right mix is crucial as the Suns have displayed.

    Are there seriously still middle-aged white males on this board wanting Kevin Love's re-animated corpse on the Rockets?

    Could you just put in adoption papers instead?

    Dude's injury history makes John Wall look like Cal Ripken.

    No.

    Those of us that are proposing trades are to simply reduce the cap hit for cheap ass Tilman and to also get John Wall out of here so it doesn't affect our young guard's development.

    No one cares if Kevin Love is any good for us or not. This thread was started years ago if you are commenting on previous posts that were made during the Harden era.
