    I think LMA will take a 5 year/$100m deal from Portland next summer.

    If he leaves, he leaves. Nothing we can do about it, get to it when we get there.

    Trade him right now for draft picks and an average PF. The Blazers could maybe win the lottery and draft a franchise-changing center.

    If he thinks about leaving Paul Allen should bail out Aaron Hernandez. That should be enough to scare him into re-signing.

    You should know better than anyone, you can't force someone to stay.

    I have always thought that Lamarcus would always go home to play in Dallas. With them likely to lose Dirk to free agency, this seems
    more and more likely. This should be Oshey's biggest concern over the off season, to at least find out what Lamarcus wants to do.

    Is there any chance we don't offer him a max deal next summer? $127 million is a hell of a lot of money to lock up on your cap for half a decade. Our season just ended with Splitter outplaying LaMarcus in four of five games. LaMarcus has already started to lose athleticism from his younger years and every season going forward he will likely lose a bit more.

    I'd rather see the team sign him to the max deal now as its only 3 more years. Players like Amare, Rashard Lewis, Raef LaFrentz, Steve Francis didn't seem terribly overpaid the day they inked their final big contracts but by the end those are the type of contracts that prevent a team from having any chance of contending.

    This.

    That is LeBron/Durant territory.

    Oshey won't put up with Lamarcus's drama play. He's spent years on One Life To Live and Cable TV Shows. He knows all sorts of bad drama.

    Thanks for pointing that out! Someone please forward this post to Neil Olshey. Some needs to tell him he's supposed to be doing what's BEST for the team. God, if only he'd known that sooner we could have traded Aldridge for Asik and table scraps.

    BGD would be an upgrade over Buchanan.

    Dwell on that.
