KD = Love/Noel - #3/AB?

[rutzan]

Does #3 for Noel and AB for Love get you KD?

Probably helps. The two complement each other well.

I dont think theres any roster move that we can make that would make us the favorite for KD.

His team beat the 67 win Spurs in 6 and had a 3-1 advantage on a Golden State team that won 73 games and is in the process of wrecking the Cavs.

If I were him, I think id wanna give it another shot.

it might be tough...but...i keep IT, smart and crowder for sure...then...if possible...rozier...filler would be anyone else plus picks not incl nets picks...

[jpotter33]

That would be a pretty excellent frontcourt that would pretty much solve all of our major issues in scoring, shooting, rim protection, and rebounding.

It also adds some much needed athleticism to our bigs with Noel being an absolute freak athlete who can hedge out on screens and also switch onto most other players.

I'd be pretty hyped with this lineup next year:

Smart/IT
Crowder/Turner
Durant/JJ
Love/Mickey
Noel/KO

i think kd probably stays in okc...but..if kd thinks this thru...i don't think OKC will EVER beat GS...curry is 28...thompson and green are 26...they are in their prime...cap is going up...bogut comes off the books after 2016/2017...that is not even counting sas...lbj is going down...the east is wide open...

I see where you are coming from. I personally think JJ struggles at the 3 and same with Crowder at the 2. I think Id let Evan walk, try to keep Terry on board, try to get Philly to throw in Covington(I think they would) and then look to move excess seconds for McLemore.

Thomas Rozier
Smart McLemore Hunter Young (one of him is bound to figure out how to shoot the [dang] ball)
Durant Crowder Covington
Love Jerebko Mickey
Noel Olynyk

oh for sure, I just really dont see him leaving. They were so close.

okc is pretty good...but...i just dont see how they are going to improve...$70M for 4 yrs for kanter who is your 4th big...okc keeps reggie jackson instead in a do-over...waiters does not bring much to the table...too inconsistent...

OKC has made several stupid moves over the yaers.  If KD wants to win, he'll leave.   That franchise is inept.

Does #3 for Noel and AB for Love get you KD?

You cant get Love for AB

[sdceltsfan]

In what world is AB equal trade value for Kevin Love, even at his lowest perceived value?

[rutzan]

i thought most people would be able to figure it out on their own that there would have to be filler...

moreover...

as i stated in an earlier post...

"it might be tough...but...i keep IT, smart and crowder for sure...then...if possible...rozier...filler would be anyone else plus picks not incl nets picks..."

to spell it out more clearly...ko could be seen as the stretch 4 to replace love...or...you could also throw in jj...although i like jj a lot...then...you have amir to match up salaries...plus picks,,,you can use your imagination...

danny always tries to sell high and buy low...love and/or irving need to go if lbj wants to win a title in cle...both have super under-performed and super under-impressed...love's value has dropped considerably in the last two years...whether you want to blame it on a poor fit or not...love has disappointed...PLUS...now he surely must carry the injury-prone tag...i think it is more of a risk for us considering the price tag but a risk worth taking if the price is right...

I think the Noel for #3 is an overpay and Love for AB a steal for the Celtics.

But to answer your question, no I don't think it gets Durant here. Replace Noel with Horford and the #3 + AB for Love you might have a chance for KD, next year.
