what would we give NY for Love?
Yeah, that'd be the issue. Not sure what he'd command either in a three-way trade or a separate trade with New York alone.
I know they covet Crowder, but he has to be off the table in a Love trade to cover for Love's defense. I also don't see the 2017 Brooklyn pick being part of it, but perhaps the 2018 pick is in play.
I don't think it would take a whole lot on our end.
NY WANTS got get out of Melo's contract, so they lose some leverage there. Cleveland (LeBron) WANTS Melo, so they're in the same Boat. We'll take Love IF it's a good deal. And since we have the contracts that work and some guys over seas and in the D-League and some future picks. Plus NY going to want to clear some CAP to go after Griffen. So Amirs contract looks really good.
I don't think the 2017 pick is in play, we aren't the seekers of the trade, so the 2018 Nets pick with Memphis and maybe Clips pic should be plenty. Then you still have Smart,Brown and 2017 to take over the team (if they can) when Horford and Love are at the end of their contracts.
I have a feeling AB will have to be included too, but Brown is playing well, and you can maybe see if Nader is ready, and if not, take a guy off of wavers it one pops up. I'd see if they can get O'Quinn for some back up big man help in the trade. as well.
