    Hopefully more than Kevin Love or Cam reddish/ D Hunter.

    Lol. Morey needs to go. The Lakers will obliterate us with AD & Dwight. Capela offsets that size because he outworks AD most times they play. But trade Capela for who exactly? Kevin Love? We'd have absolutely no rim protection or post defense. No to mention no size

    This is rather noisy for a Morey trade. Lots of leaks in the Fertitta era

    Knicks, or Nets. Knicks don't have a C and an abundance of wingman. And Nets have a C, but they are still losing with Kyrie back and they have a lot of wingman. DeAndre Jordan?!?!?!?!?

    Morey is a silent assassin. CP3 trade and Westbrook trade had happened when there were no rumors about it at all. In the contrast, we all remember Chris Bosh saga, Melo in Houston by 5:45 thursday.

    Talking is not doing.

    Don't most of these blockbuster, multiteam trades come from out of nowhere? Not from an endless stream of speculative tweets and articles at espn, the athletic, and bleacher report?

    Too much smoke on this for something to not be happening, I like afloat a lot but he has some majors limitations he hasn’t really grown out of so maybe it’s time especially since we only have a 2 year window in al likelihood now.

    Nope, out for the year, had a terrible season. Griffin is likely done (ever being a top player again).

    Trading Capela for assets that will then hopefully be flipped for impact players seems like a terrible idea. How many times in the last two years alone have we heard stories of them whiffing on deals in the final moments. I don’t like it.

    Then why get Kemba Walker? Just seems superfluous to have Smart there too at that salary, and the Celtics have been supposedly drooling over Capela for awhile now.

    Well put, with Russ and Harden on the floor we need a big who can shoot the 3. I hate to say it but Love would do wonders for our offense, but like you said defensively we’d be worse.

    This is very noisy not usually Moreys style, maybe Tilman is leaking all this, gonna be rough smoothing over Clint’s butthurt if this doesn’t happen , yeah I know players all know it’s a business and they are always tradable but still could get a bit salty.
