Yes, Deng would have to be moved. My point still stands that the Lakers can keep Randle. Its not impossible.

He has a decent contract (3 years and $72m left after this season). He's 29 years old but he's not a super athletic player so his decline won't be so steep.

Feel like Indy, Denver, Miami, Portland and Phoenix are realistic trade partners for Kevin Love

I could see the Bucks, Wizards, Jazz and Hornets interested in trading for Love.

That Dipo-Love pick and roll would be nasty.

I don't see the Lakers getting rid of Deng's contract this offseason. The price is too high. We'd have to give up one of the young guys (Zo, kuzma, BI) or 2 first rounders to get rid of him. I see the Lakers trading him next offseason as an expiring contract.

I could see a middling team pull the trigger out of desperation. Meanwhile CLE not going to take back any worse deals and will probably want young players or picks

Miami, Jazz and Bucks make sense. Basically any team with a potent defensive scheme to coverup Love's limitations.
I know bucks aren't there yet, but they could get there with the right coaching.
Indy is interesting too.
I'm just not sure what the package will look like from the teams mentioned above. Gauging Love's value is hard to do now. Way different than his days on the wolves. Is he an empty stat filler? Or can he me a 20 and 10 guy on a playoff team? I'm not really sure what his reputation is right now.

No it's just highly improbable.

No chance they'll give up one of the young guys to dump Deng. So you may be right. However I could see them giving up 2 firsts in an all out effort to try and win now.

Just rebuild now so when the Warriors window is closed, your team is at its peak

Love would be the perfect addition for the Jazz
Rubio-Mitchell-Ingles-Love-Gobert
Plus Utah would treat him like a rock star

Love for Exum and Favors?
- 33,347

Something like that wouldn’t be bad but Favors is actually unrestricted this summer. They could give them something like Exum, #21 and their first rounder next year. Would save them a lot of money and allow them to tank for next year’s draft.

Love would fit perfectly on a lot of teams.
Miami, Utah, Indiana, Milwaukee, etc. Can’t wait till the thotties in Portland start recruiting him.

Utah has like $12M in cap space this summer. Would have to be something like Alec Burks and a first for Love. I like the fit there though.

Hmm didn’t think of pg to Houston. That does make sense. Okc can’t get people in free agency and have to get better via trade.

If PG really does care about Championships, this will be the move. Although, he does know he is plan B after Bron.
- 22,555

But also he has to be ok with being third fiddle. I mean harden and cp3 will iso and he’ll be a spot up shooter. He has to be ok with that and Houston has to be ok paying 30 million for a spot up shooter

I'm over the Finals.
Let's get this draft popping. Tell me where Bron is going.
I'm ready for the 2018-2019 season.

don’t want him
Don’t believe this for a second tho
No way he would consider the warriors or Celtics (I think)

The NBA is at their weird point where the drama and conversion outside the game (burner accounts, free agency rumors, social media beefs) overshadow the actual games.

He’s planning on talking to the Warriors?
So you’re telling me he’s no different from KD?
