No, because the salaries don't match and the trade machine doesn't know that incoming and outgoing salaries have to be within $5M.

Its also not a really 3-team trade, its just two different deals lumped together that wouldn't work under the cap.

How is that possible; ESPN can't come up with a program that factors that in? I am disappointed.

But that still doesn't mess up my trade idea. It just means have to exercise second year on Ezeli and he and Davis (or Frye) go to Indiana so salaries match up with them.And, by God, here it is on Trade Machine, whether it's doing it right or not!http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yc6xjvbg

That would work. It's still completely unrealistic to think we could trade the awful contracts of Crabbe and Leonard as well as Harkless for Kevin Love.

Well said. Jimmy Butler is the answer. And Paul George too if we happened to get him but I 'd prefer Butler.

I like them both a lot. I don't see the Blazers getting either. I kind of think LeBron and Cleveland will try to land George this offseason as their answer to KD and the Warriors.

The only things they can really offer for George are Irving or Love. I'm sure Indiana would jump at Irving (George is much better, but likely leaving) but Cleveland wouldn't trade Irving since Irving is a folk hero in Cleveland. I doubt Indiana would be interested in Love--if they dump George, it's rebuild time and Love isn't really on the right timetable for a rebuild. But it's at least plausible, if Indiana wants to sell their fans that they "got a star back."

I think it will be Love on the move.

It'd make sense if Love went to a 3rd team, who sent picks to IND who would send George to CLE.
 
Twitter is toxic. You should see what the Knick fans think is fair.

I get personally offended when they offer Courtney Lee and/or KOQ for our picks.
 
I'm trying to figure out what Portland gets out of that....praying it's not Ryan Anderson. Due to Houston's cap situation, maybe it is just something small to help facilitate the deal and Portland is able to unload a Turner or Leonard to NY.
 
This is what I think sounds logical. Not sure how I feel about it.
