    we send out enough to take in Love, teams can work it to fit however they need, and by taking in Plumlee with our TPE, then sending Meyers into one created by that, we can then send Meyers, Aminu, pick to return Love.

    i thought the most palatable scenario for cleveland would look like
    harkless, aminu, leonard, protected '19 for love
    TPE for korver
    cleveland saves around 3 million this year and 14+ million the next.
    age wise harkless fits a teardown/rebuild too.
    atlanta scenario is appealing but tougher to sell

    I'd probably do this if it was just one 1st but honestly, I'd rather have Love and Korver.

    No chance that happens. Love is worth much more than that.

    Yes it does. Our TPE helps create that inbalance.

    I don't know, I think as the season draws closer Cleveland might want to get rid of him. At least that's what I'd do if I was them.

    if they are going to resign hood to big money perhaps all the savings they can get this year is most appealing.
    i think as july 28 draws closer we might ratchet up the ante. if not, oh well.

    Reasoning is sound for each team. I do it to challenge certain reasoning for each team, and for fun. Obviously its not gonna happen.

    This is soooo fucked up.
    Everyone needs a flipping bubble. It’s probably frown upon because people are too stupid to understand it’s context. Most people think it’s about female genitalia.

    Being called a pussy is derived from being a pussy cat. A scaredy cat. Cats are known for being scared of everything.
    Hence you are a pussy. You are scared.

    But yeah. Let’s raise hell about the word pussy too.
    Anyone who gets disturbed about the word pussy being used in that context should just use it on themselves. Only pussies are worries about how the word pussy is used. Lol.
    Not at you @Eastoff , at society in general. :)

    I just don't see teams offering that much for him.

    A top 5 PF in his prime who fits the modern NBA and would have a year and a half to two years left on his contract?

    Even if 10% of the teams in the league bid on him, it's still a bidding war.. Pheonix is trying to improve now, and they have a good package to offer. Boston needs that star PF to complete their lineup. Toronto could view him as a legitimate upgrade over Ibaka. The Lakers could try for him as well. New Orleans would probably be willing to offer Randle and pieces at the deadline for him.

    Phoenix seems to be getting rid of vets, but that might be a possibility.

    Boston is in a weird spot where most of their players are either guys they wouldn't trade for Love (Hayward, Irving, Horford) or on cheaper contracts so it would be hard for them to add Love.

    Toronto is interesting if they continue to go all-in this year but they can't trade their 2019 pick now. If Kawhi is happy there I think Ibaka is a better fit with him.

    The Lakers would probably be worried that he wouldn't opt out next summer thus screwing up their cap space situation.

    New Orleans has Mirotic still.

    That may be the origin, but the meaning of words change over time. I bet if one were to survey the general population on the meaning of that word, female genitalia would be the overwhelming definition.

    My personal rule of thumb is if a word is used to define a group of people and many people within that group are offended by it, I try my honest best to not use it anymore. But, to each their own I suppose.

    Like who? They brought in Ariza and Holmes... who'd they get rid of?

    Love > Mirotic

    Those are just a few hypotheticals. All it takes is one other team. I don't think he's gonna come cheap, but I'd be glad to be wrong.

    I couldn't agree more. Good God, even if I wanted to use it as female genitalia, so what. We've become so paranoid as a culture about what we can and cant say.
    We need to grow some balls as a society and not take things so seriously.
    They very ones that preach tolerance are the ones that are less tolerant.
    Yep, our young people we become a bunch of pussies if we don't toughen up and not get so uptight about shit!
    I danced naked in a mud tent at Vortex where there were no hangups. Probably the craziest thing I've ever done but it was wild, oh and I got played that night too.
