    I think they have different values Mags.

    LA has more value now to a team that's trying to win, and a team with LA/Kyrie Irving could easily be in the top 4 in the East.

    Wiggins might have more value to a team that's rebuilding or looking to the future.

    LA also has more value to a team looking to try to lure Lebron. Kyrie/LA is a more enticing pair than Kyrie/Wiggins to a guy who wants to win another title ASAP.

    Wiggins and Lillard could be the best wing lineup ever in the nba. Wiggins has the potential to be another lbj. As much as I love Aldridge, Portland would be stupid not to do that deal; even if it sets us back a few years.

    Cleveland would be fucking bone heads if they trade away Wiggins for anyone other than LBJ.

    If LMA for wiggins was ever an option, I wouldn't even think twice about it

    Yup. It sure seems that Miami is sticking together though.

    So does Detroit giving out that crazy contract to Meeks and that other guy help or hurt us? I'm going to guess hurt on a sign and trade.

    Help.

    They obviously suck at evaluating talent.

    Meeks for nearly $20m?!

    If Orlando is wasting money on guys like Ben Gordon, maybe they're out of the Monroe sweepstakes?

    Monroe forcing a sign and trade for himself . . . who says things like that? Either Josh Smith is hated by teammates or Monroe just alienated himself.

    From the article:

    Monroe’s camp was working on a deal with the Blazers shortly before the free agency moratorium began.Monroe’s agent David Falk was trying to get something in place before Portland met with free-agent center Spencer Hawes. The Blazers reportedly met with Hawes as soon as the period began Tuesday.

    Interesting. So I wonder if it's still possible.
