    This is music to my ears. I hope it's not some wimpy ass trade like KP would do. KP was big talk, little action.

    The problem is that every backup PG that's decent wants to leave and be a starter. It's the Prices of this world who do the work without complaint. That's why you find a combo guard that you can live with.

    The article merely says we are open to deals. Every GM is.

    Not necessarily true... unless you consider $10 mil in cap space a starter

    I don't believe we have 10 MIL in cap space right this minute. A little less than 1.5 MIL in free space from what it looks like.

    I agree with you and I'm willing to part with anyone outside of Lillard, Batum and maybe Aldridge.

    Well, at least Kevin Love still has some value and Kahn can trade him before he demands out.

    I shudder at Kahn trying to manage a Melo/D-Ho situation with Love.

    It'll be like the Michael Scott Negotiating School for Kids Who Don't Read Good.
