SI (via RealGM): You have to assume he views LMA as a serious target with a "rebuilding" Blazers. You browse ClutchFans.Net and it's obvious who the fans want and it is LMA. Though, they have nothing on that roster outside Harden that comes close to his talent. They dealt their picks to OKC and have a few 6'8" PF's they're willing to deal, one with a major anxiety issue to boot. You have to like Morey's aggressiveness. But that doesn't give him the excuse to offer insulting packages. They don't have the assets to land another "foundation player."
Who would have thought that Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb plus some okay draft picks would be enough to get Harden though. OKC will really be hating that deal when Martin is injured in a couple months.
Fans over at Clutchfans.Net are orgasming at the thought of LMA on their team. "They'll get Carmelo'd"
