    With the age difference in mind between Lillard and LMA, who between 22-25 would you trade Aldridge for? So please no Anthony Davis ideas, that's not going to happen.

    I bring this up because I think we missed the boat to cash in on LMA with OKC and Harden. We easily could've trumped the Rockets offer with LMA going to OKC.

    Go!

    How do you know we didn't make that offer? Maybe the Thunder didn't want 3 max contracts. Seems the Harden move was about not taking on salary.

    They move Josh Smith to his natural 4 position, get a good young 3, and a young developmental big.

    They're having spacing issues with Smith at the 3.

    Who is the young developmental big? I thought they were getting Meyers Leonard.

    That's a damn good offer. But yeah, why in the world would Detroit do that? lol.

    This is almost certainly sour grapes, but I can't stand the way Harden plays. Watching a guy shoot FTs all day is not my idea of fun.

    That's who you'd trade LaMarcus for?

    You have to find a team that not only has young pieces to trade, but also is competing, either for real or in their minds, for a title

    Houston
    Asik
    Motiejunas
    Jones
    2013 #1
    2014 #1

    Is literally the only team that makes any real sense. I am not sure that is the haul you want for Aldridge, but I think it's fair value

    Didn't the 2013 draft already happen? http://nbadraft.net/nba_draft_history/index.html

    Also, who's 2014 pick is that? Houston's or from another team? That pick won't be worth much if it's from Houston...

    So essentially, you think it's fair value to trade LA for Asik, Motiejunas, and Jones?

    I think it's fair value to trade LA for Asik, Jones, Motiejunas and 2 #1's

    Find more, say there is no fair deal or shut the fuck up and stop criticizing others.
