Report: Rockets To Pursue Kevin Love and LaMarcus Aldridge

[jeh]

Let’s say the Rockets:

• Trade Terrence Jones without taking any salary in return
• Renounce all their free agents, including Patrick Beverley and K.J. McDaniels
• Waive Kostas Papanikolaou (unguaranteed) and Pablo Prigioni (partially guaranteed)

They’d still project to have just $12 million in cap space – well below the $19 million max for Love and Aldridge.

Signing one of those star power forwards would almost certainly mean dealing Trevor Ariza, and it would probably require sacrificing significant depth, too.

And that might be worth it. Either Love or Aldridge would complement James Harden and Dwight Howardwell. Then, Houston could recoup depth when the salary cap spikes in 2016, providing more flexibility.

It’s an easy plan to get behind. It’s just much harder to execute, though bank on Daryl Morey trying.

Beard + Lisp + Fright would be a problem.

I'd take Jones and the 18th pick in LA, especially if Houston is basically giving them away.

Uhhhh they signed Dwight two seasons ago and traded for Harden three seasons ago breh...then Ariza last year..

Compared to most teams that's a good batting average.

How could they possibly have max contact capspace?

And struck out on Melo & Bosh last year. Before Harden & Dwight, who were they getting while being over aggressive in FA?

That's how I see it, alot of people here like to shyt on him for whatever reasons, but dude is always getting creative, looking to take his team to that next level

As a Bulls fan, I have to respect that
