Lol, Windhorst's nickname is Windy now? Freaking perfect. The Lakers coudl get good quick by trading #2 pick, DAngelo, Ingram and getting back PG13 and Westbrook. But doesn't really make a ton of sense.
i wonder what philly is willing to give up? Saric and Okafor? I'd imagine Simmons, Embiid and Fultz are untouchable at this point...especially if the return is "only" Kevin Love.
Why the heck would the 76ers want Kevin Love? I mean, for free, as a free agent signing... ok, maybe. Giving up young assets/picks for him... lol, no. Yep, exactly. Not even sure they'd want to trade Saric. KLove is obviously better than Saric, but who cares. And to the extent the 76ers want to be better this year, they want to do it on the strength of their young core, not bringing in vets. They still have their own pick next year, in another solid deep draft. why even attempt to make the playoffs when they're still really 1 year away (at least).
I can't imagine the Pacers trading Kevin Love to the Rockets. Unlike George, Love have a couple more years on the contract, so the Pacers can take their time. The Rockets have very little to offer in terms of picks & youth
The Sixers have guys like Simmons and Saric, not sure why they would trade good picks or Saric (?) to get Love on a 20M year deal...Saric has good chances to outplay him already this coming season imo...
Right, more likely the Cavs are hesitant to trade Love unless they get a guarantee on Paul George. If the Pacers could get Kevin Love they could turn around and trade HIM for something way better than the junk offers we are talking about.
Media wants the Pacers to give George to the Cavs. Just hand him over. http://www.nba.com/article/2017/06/...g-state-land-2017-draft-sixers-celtics-lakers The LA scenario seems just as driven by George’s shoe deal; unknown is whether he could actually move more product by playing there, or would just get paid more loot by Nike by being there. Staying in the Eastern Conference, on a better team than Indy, is the move that would make the most sense and give George a more realistic path to The Finals. And clearly, the Cavs would make the most sense under that scenario. Cleveland sent its first-rounder this year to Portland, but the Cavs could send a 2018 and 2020 or 2021 first-round pick to Indy to start. And, before you automatically say Kevin Love must be part of a potential package, consider: if Cleveland were to put Love in an offer for George, that means LeBron James would have to move to the four spot more or less permanently. George balked at moving to the four a year ago when Larry Bird all but begged him to do so; similarly, James has been reluctant to make power forward his home, even as he’s dominated in spot minutes at the position in various lineups over the years. Maybe they’d just figure all that out in training camp. Washington, to a lesser degree, could fit the bill, too, and the Wizards are looking for a way to make a George deal happen. They don’t have a player of Love’s caliber to put in a deal; they’re not moving Bradley Beal after the 23-year-old just had his best NBA season. Playing alongside Washington’s backcourt of Beal and John Wall, after all, would be the selling point for George in D.C. Wizards small forward Otto Porter also had his best season and would almost certainly have to be in a potential George deal for it to make any sense for Indiana, but he’s a restricted free agent and would lose tens of millions of dollars if he agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with anyone this summer (fewer years, smaller yearly raises) instead of re-signing with Washington. There’s literally no incentive for anyone to do a sign-and-trade anymore, which was the point of changing the CBA -- to make it easier rather than harder for teams to keep their own players.
Lmao if the Cavs are going to trade Love and/or all those future picks (probably unprotected)...i just can't... And lmao at the Clippers...
Without Love what can the Cavs offer? There's no way the Pacers view JR Smith & Iman Shumpert's and their respective contracts as positive values. I can't imagine a rebuilding Pacers view Tristan Thompson & his contract as a net positive either
2030 & 2040 first round picks. or Pacers buyout George & he signs with Cavs. #idealscenario Spoiler In all seriousness, nothing.
It's Love or bust for the Cavs. Or maybe trade multiple and unprotected future 1st rounders which would look great as today, but in a couple of years it would be a nightmare...not that Lebron would care though...lol
Yes, you are right. Lebron just wants get more rings with all costs. Love will get no love without winning.
