who would you give up for kevin love at this point, who seems unhappy in minnesota at least a bit and is gotta be threat for.
Is two 1sts, right to trade spots on a 3rd, tjones and Lin too little, too much for us...just wondering. If they wanted asik i'd give them that too, but i think they'd just keep pek and don't wanna pay asik 15 mil next year. Lin can shoot unlike rubio at the pg spot.

For the money to work, you have to either move both Asik and Lin, or one of Harden / Howard to have any chance.
Assuming we're not doing the later. it is tricky on how a Asik and Lin combo would work for the Wolfs, who have Pek and Rubio. even if you like the Rockets duo more, you'd have to somehow move the Wolfs duo to make this work, which would mean a very complex 3 way has to be in the books somehow.
In short, it's rather unlikely to happen. The Rockets current roster lines up poorly with the Wolfs. Then again, it's not entirely clear who lines up well with them (the Suns I guess, but why blowup a good thing ), and if they're trading Love might as well be a huge firesale.
Like, if it's Okafor expiring + Bledsoe + picks, it be a considerably better package and fit than what the Rockets could do at this point.

Don't need another big that can shoot threes. We got it.

With Bledsoe's injury, Minnesota has a good shot at cracking the West's top 8. Love isn't going anywhere.

i actually agree its not enough...but fyi the money works according to this...dunno how though...maybe espn is off? Isn't it 125 % plus 100,000?
http://espn.go.com/n...tradeId=ka75xgq
but yeah...i don't think we have enough without including parsons...which i think would defeat the whole purpose of improving our team. Alas, maybe Love would want to only come here (jk jk), and for the 8 seed comment later...the point wasn't where the wolves are at, its where love is at with his teammates. If he's not gonna re-sign they have to trade him, but yeah i'd take Okafor bledsoe and picks, or griffin, or some others over anything we got as minny. I mean the guy is 3rd in per...i'd trade griffin for him as LAC.

Hard to see this happen in mid-season, it would be much more relevant in the summer if Minny's season ends badly. Again.

What we need is SG/SF perimeter defense and depth.

you miss what I'm saying, I'm saying that the Suns trade that package to the Wolfs for Love, and the Wolfs extend Bledsoe etc.
That way, they tank really hard this year, and have Bledsoe + couple of first rounder (one likely pretty high) next year.
@lostthief : yeah your right, Lin + Jones works, thought Love was a little bit higher than that money.
