    Funny, From reading the forum I was under the impression that if a player doesn't do well on one team he sucks on all teams, under all coaches?

    If we ended up with Love we would need to find a way to get Hibbert or Chandler here. That's the only way it could work.

    When LaMarcus was averaging 17/7 we called him LaMarshmallow. No, nobody is happy with 17/7.

    Blake's new game is really really good. I'm impressed with him. Mirotic I would love too, if it came to that.

    I'd like to keep LMA if possible though.

    Keeping LMA is obviously the number one choice, but I think we could do worse than bringing in a guy like Mirotic to grow with the current core since he isn't that old.

    Well, considering that Love actually did very well in Minny but sucked in Cleveland, your impression is absolutely wrong. In fact, most that knew he was a "stat padder loser" were proven right when he actually went to a good team with great players.

    Delusional. Blake Griffin has far more trade value than Aldridge...

    No, Griffin is better now. Younger and better. Didn't think it would be this quick but he is. 22/8/5 on. 504/.400/.728 this season, his post game has improved, he can shoot jumpers now and moves the ball very well.

    Yeah Griffin averaged 7.4 assist per game against the Spurs. LaMarcus' was at 1.8; his career postseason average is 1.6. Griffin is a beast, shoots better, passes better, can also hit the long jumper, is much more dynamic and younger. He was initially way overhyped his first few years but has totally exceeded those expectations.

    I just don't think L0ve is that good plus he's injury prone, would rather go after a PF/C like Greg Monroe and if LMA decides to leave and we can't sign and trade him which seems unlikely perhaps we can get a huge TPE which could come in handy

    One of my favorite things when we play the Clippers is watching LA abuse Blake. You can talk stats all you want (and seriously, you're quoting assists for a PF? WTF?), but LA is just bigger and stronger than Blake will ever be. Blake's improved now that his outside game isn't awful, but he still needs to be set up. LA can get his own shot pretty much at will.

    If Aldridge want to go I'd be tempted to look into that Lakers package of Julius Randle and the pick. Try to draft D'Angelo Russell.

    You'd trade Aldridge to the L*kers?
