    Lin, Jones, Parsons, and NOP pick for Love, Martin, and Brewer throw in Capela, DMo if need be.

    Would this still allow us the full MLE?

    Rather have Dieng and/or Shved over Kevin Martin. Especially if throwing in D-Mo.

    No one here has a problem with Love shooting only 46% as a big men? Sure he stretches the floor and I guess can rebound, but I would rather stand pat than pay this guy a max contract.

    Rather take Melo too.

    Love's TS% was .591 last year, which was almost as high as Dwight's (.600). You can really expect Love to be shooting the same percentage as other PFs since he shoots like 6 threes a game.

    Letting parsons go is the best thing that can happen for this team outside of signing a marquee fa. absolutely need to prioritize defense next to harden or a guy who can take others off the dribble. parsons exposed in half court sets easily and not worth the cap hold he will have. mark my words-he will be a contract liability like lin if rox pay him good money.

    But he shoots 3's. That brings his fg% down. If you look at his TS%, it's higher than both Terrence Jones and Carmelo Anthony. It's 60%. That's pretty good.

    And he can rebound like an animal and is a scorer.

    Kevin Love is a damn-near perfect fit for this team. The only thing he needs to improve is his defense. But it's not like Jones or Carmelo are any better there.

    Love is a massive upgrade for this team.

    I think the "no defense" stuff is a little overblown. He plays with Pekovic, who is a terrible fit with him on the defensive end. I'm guessing he would be at least average with Dwight.

    If he ends up in Houston, I don't want to hear Howard complaining about touches in the post anymore. Strictly rebounding and put backs.

    That's a clown post, bro. Of course Love shoots a lower percentage, he takes a ton of three pointers and hits them at a high rate.

    After last playoff series, Howard can get as many touches and complain as he wants. He proved his mettle.
