He’d IMMEDIATELY become out best big man on the roster.

Way too expensive (we'd have to trade Nurkic and Hart just to get him) and way too old and injury prone.

I wonder if Joe could be trying to get a 3way deal going that would land us Siakam? Would the Raptors have interest in an expiring Kevin Love?

Doubtful. Maybe the Lakers are trying to trade Westbrook for him.

The fact that he’s old and injury prone and would STILL be our best big reminds us of our current situation. At some point you gotta’ start making moves.

So that leaves the Draft and the majority of great players are picked higher in the Lottery.

And then spend four years honing their skills on a losing team before moving to a winning team through free agency or a forced trade.

Yes, it's reminiscent. Yes, but not that move. Love's star power is gone. Dude is a white dwarf at the end of his career.

That's the only way that's palatable.

'Course, Cavs have no need for Nurk, so something like this would be probably a little more reasonable. I mean, still completely unrealistic, but intriguing in theory.

I want nothing to do with KLove at his salary.

Either do I, even with him being a free agent after the season. It's just too big of a price tag to bring him in. You'd have to do a four team deal and move Simons too, just to make a somewhat acceptable deal. Not good. Not realistic.

Just getting four teams together and getting them to agree on something like that, when there are likely better deals to be had. Yeah, not happening.

And people think Nurk is overpaid. Just blind hate at this point.
 
As long as Joe doesn’t trade Sharpe I’m fine. If he does I don’t know what to say, especially if he’s not even the GM next season. I’d rather no trade than Joe fuck away what limited pieces we do have for a real GM to work with next year, or whenever we are finally sold.

I know for a fact teams like Sac’s fanbase would trade with us in a heartbeat to have made the playoffs and “underperform”.

And I bet we'd trade with the Warriors in a heart beat. Your point?

Nah, I think if the second rounders that come back from a Josh and Nurk for KLove deal make other more important deals happen then it's palatable. The fact is Nurk is a really bad fit with what Chauncey is trying to do defensively and he's Nurk offensively, so his bad contract being three years longer than the third of a season that we'd spend with KLove's makes Nurk's contract worse than Love's.

Let's say that we have a big trade that would still be available after this for a superstar and it needs FRPs but Chicago is being stubborn and wants two SRPs to take the protectionist off of the pick we owe them, while simultaneously Vanderbilt can be had for Justise and three seconds... in a vacuum, I don't know that I would trade Hart and Nurk for Love and some seconds but I don't hate love off of the bench in Chauncey's system, I don't even hate the idea of him starting. I also don't hate the idea of us getting Nurk out of here. For me it would have to be like 4 second round picks and we would have to need them to do something bigger for the trade to make sense.

Also that trade puts us into the luxury tax before we even address that it puts us a player below the roster minimum so it would never happen by itself, it would have to be a trade that was made in order to allow other things to happen.
 
I don’t remember seeing people say Nurk is overpaid….not in todays game. I only read people saying he isn’t good.
