    sorry, I was mostly just thinking of position as a 3-D wing. Parsons isn't exactly the answer there, but there are a lot of wings in the league right now.

    Yeah, there wasn't anything negative or positive. Just that they had met and the offer had been presented. But, what if both sides agreed not to reveal one way or the other because it would hurt his value and LA respects the organization enough to not be a problem on his way out the door?

    I think it's very possible that could be the case.

    After the best season the teams had in 15 years there is no way Paul Allen lets his GM trade away the best player.

    People tend to ask this a lot when something like this happens. A big national media member is far more likely to have a wide range of sources than a Freeman, Haynes, Quick is.

    What if that player is going to leave and we won't get anything out of it?

    Unless of course LA gave them doubts about re-signing

    What if Aldridge basically said that he still wants to leave next summer? That would certainly inspire PA to let his GM trade away his best player.

    I don't see Monroe coming off the bench either.

    I've always liked what I've seen from Monroe. But I haven't seen a ton of him. Can anyone tell me about his defense? Any good?

    Also - what have we heard from Detroit on this? Why don't they want him - because of Drummond? I thought they were trying to deal Josh Smith....they want Monroe gone too?? The answer may help us determine if we really have the assets they're looking for.

    His defense is terrible. Awful at best

    I think I would try to move him. And if Cleveland is open to the idea of Wiggins and change for him. I would try to get something for him before losing him for nothing.

    I've heard that the Atlanta Hawks are interested in Greg Monroe. It seems strange given their roster, but they're expected to show interest.

    They were trying hard to move the pick before the draft. I'm just wondering if there's something afoot.

    But the timing was around the draft which is what made you think it was fishy. Blazers could have leaked this news right after they made the offer or right before a trade. What does the timing around the draft makes it suspicious that a Blazers are trying to justify a trade?

    I thought we want to improve on the defensive end? This move would be bad in this regard.
