lmao, we'll still be trash. Kevin Love ain't THAT good. Need one guy for the futre and one guy for the present, if this front office is actually thinkin Kobe is the focal point they are stupider than I thought.
I doubt they are. But they might try to subsist with a Kobe+Love+random mid-level type player until Kobe retires. When Kobe comes off the books, you basically are going to build around Love and try to get a superstar or two around him. We might have to wait until 2016 if that's what it takes. Hard to believe but oh well...

Such a deal would reunited Hayward with college coach Brad Stevens, but it would be cumbersome to pull off, as Blakely explains. The Jazz don’t have interest in Rajon Rondo, because they don’t feel like they could re-sign him, and they’re not high on trading for Jeff Green, either. Utah would like at least one first-round draft pick, but Blakely hears the Celtics are “very reluctant” to give one up.

Boston is instead focused on acquiring more picks, according to Blakely, though the Celtics are also on the lookout for someone who can be a major part of the team’s rotation. Hayward, averaging 16.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists, would probably fit that bill.

Hayward will be a restricted free agent at season’s end after he and the Jazz failed to reach agreement on an extension this past fall. He makes $3.45MM in the final season of his rookie deal this year, but he’s in line for a significant raise. Still, a report from Chad Ford of ESPN.com earlier today noted that Utah is unlikely to trade Hayward, and the Jazz have plenty of cap flexibility to retain him.

lol, they'd still have a season left with Kobe if we just stand pat and sign Love outright in 2015 and use the 2014 lotto pick. Mitch had a trade here and there, but he's not all that creative with building teams. He'd be trash if he didn't work for GOAT franchise, Mitch is back on my shytlist like it's 2006 if he has the gall to trade away a sorely needed lotto pick for a player that won't get us or Kobe into contention.

For the love of gawd Dr. Soon save us from these dumbasses. :ohlawd:

Who outside the top 3-4 will ever be better the Love? Certainly not Randle or Gordan or VanoIDK. Then we get a late lotto pick. Were not gunna be a serious contender next year either way.

Say we kept that Pick and got Smart or something. A Smart/Kobe/Love isn't that much better. I can't take another year if this lotto shyt, especially when we don't have a pick,

4:38pm: The Sixers have been Asik’s most likely destination for months, according to Bill Ingram of Basketball Insiders, who notes Philadelphia GM Sam Hinkie’s connection to the big man. Hinkie was with the Rockets when they signed Asik last year (Twitter links).
:what: Why do the Sixers want Asik now when they already drafted Noel?
