    He's hearing rumblings and said "don't be surprised if LMA is moved by the deadline or in the summer."

    Is my DMC to Portland dream still alive?!

    :lol:

    Trading Aldridge is scary, but probably the smartest thing to do for both the franchise and the player

    It would have to be a great deal to think about but in that scenario (provide a PF didn't come back in the deal) would you keep Hickson and start him at PF? Hickson would be a lot better provided he was playing his real position of course. I know you are not fond of him that is why I ask.

    I cant think of any deals id be happy with moving lma for that actually makes sense for both parties. You dont trade 27 year old all star level big men, especially when he doesnt want to leave our small market team.

    No keeping Hickson. Hick sons PER for and against at PF is virtually as bad as at C

    As for value, you'd be talking multiple picks and young players shown to have a good career ahead of them

    JJ has played 56% of all available center minutes for us. He's played 1% of the PF minutes. Not exactly the largest sample size.

    Trading LA would make me kind of sad, but if it happens I'll understand ... assuming it's for multiple picks and a young-ish front-court player with some potential.

    You are bringing up opponents PER yet Hickson has a higher PER than his opponents. If you are merely going off of opponent PER then you would be adovcating getting rid of Lillard because who he guards does quite a bit better than he does.

    Vic is not enough, but two of his caliber and a high pick, and I would probably do it. Also would need to be a team that thought they could win now

    LMA has a higher PER at Center than PF. Perhaps we should merely swap him and Hickson. LMA doesn't care for the Center designation but it is merely a name.

    Lillard will either get better, stay roughly same in that area, or get worse. Just like Hickson. We aren't playing for this year. Their numbers are going to most likely be different next year and the year after, and etc.

    What would you need to get back if we were to trade Aldridge and Matthews?

    Just fuckin' around, haven't found anything I'd do.. but are these close to fair?

    Of course picks aren't available to put in on the trade machine.

    The MIL deal is atrocious.

    The second one is a very big meh.
