    I posted that before that NYDN report came out, but you're right. I guess we'll find out. Though, if Melo goes back to New York, then he clearly isn't "all about winning" like he claims he is. New York is at least 2-3 years away from any sort of contention even with Melo, and that's just assuming Phil Jackson makes all the right moves.

    This is all much ado about nothing. I doubt Love gets traded this week, if at all this summer.

    could easily see BOS facilitate the Love trade...they could move Rondo for picks/assets..

    I would stay FAR AWAY from Rondo if I were the Rockets though...just too risky with the ACL tear + lack of shooting + need to have the ball to be fully effective...

    Bulls and Celtics have the best offer for love, fortunately for gsw fans and maybe hou fans, flip Saunders is Kahn 2.0.

    I agree. Even without the injuries- him and Harden have an overlapping skillset. Were better off playing a 3&D point guard (who would also be a lot cheaper). Rondo is best surronded by shooters/guys who can play off the ball.

    That would have been Avery Bradley, but Celtics gave him a 4Yr/$32M deal.

    Love makes them a top 4 team in the West and you just replace Klay with K Mart..

    Curry
    K Mart
    Iggy
    Love
    Bogut

    Love would flourish in GS.

    Can't believe they don't do this trade.

    I'm unbelievably happy.

    In reality - Minnesota restarts trade talks with GSW to persuade Cleveland to give up Wiggins.

    "Bulls making renewed push to get into trade mix for T-Wolves Kevin Love - sources"

    Text from ESPN.

    Have they signed Mirotic yet?

    Tjones + NOP pick is better!
