    David Falk represents Greg Monroe. He represented Danny Ferry and they're still close. Execs pointed this out when discussing Monroe to ATL.

    Doubt it. But maybe. I think it's possible it's a situation you brought up. But the Blazers are also looking to get better. He would improve the team.

    Maybe we're over thinking this?

    I wouldn't trade any starter for Greg Monroe.

    Isn't that usually the case? But lots of good ideas coming out of this discussion.

    Because if they had decided to trade Aldridge, that's when they would have started leaking information. Maybe they met with him and it took a week for them to decide exactly what to do. I'm just speculating man. I don't know the answers, obviously, but something is just really fishy to me.

    Aldridge will be a Blazer 100%. Thinking otherwise is like trying to suck an elephant through a 1/8" straw

    That could very possibly be.

    I'm just looking at some of the information that's coming forward and it all seems strange to me.

    Me either. Love the guy but no starter. It would be hard to see Trob go too...

    Well you also guaranteed LaMarcus would leave last summer so I believe your speculation regarding him is horse shit.

    Well Batum does have a big salary to match other big names and I think he is a player other teams would be happy to get even at his contract price.

    But I don't see the Blazers trading anyone in the starting 5 this year unless it's a huge upgrade. Is Monroe a huge upgrade to Lopez? And how do you replace a Batum with the MLE?

    What if they gave up Trob in a deal to get him? He could back up both big positions.

    Mags, if Aldridge left the team next summer and signed with (say) Dallas, would you freak?

    Maybe the Blazers felt due to being totally quiet during the draft, they would/will hit out of the park in free agency. Hence the targets.

    Maybe just maybe that was the plan after all. It woulnd't surprise me if Allen has asked them to go for it.

    Falk is also Hibbert's agent, and really respected the way we handled those negotiations, and how it would come around for us.

    As for Monroe's defense, he doesn't block shots, but he's a really good man defender in the post.

    SG and SF are the scarcest positions in the league. The easiest position to replace is PG followed by PF.

    Interesting. Awhile back I had thought of trading LaMarcus (for a SG like Affalo), then signing Greg Monroe as a free agent. Not sure what we'd do with both Monroe and LA though?
