    @JakeLFischer: On POR/Sixers discussion, league sources say Blazers are interested in using No. 23 to acquire an established big man, not get more picks.

    Would #23 for Taj Gibson work for both teams?

    23 for Taj. Slam dunk. Bulls would do it.

    @JakeLFischer: As POR's fears of losing Aldridge grow, Blazers trying to using No. 23 to acquire a big to either help replace LMA or bolster FC around him.

    Covington? Not a lot of options on that roster.

    Solid outside shot. Really blossomed in Philly after bouncing around.

    Only 24.

    Of course they would. It would shed a ton of salary, while giving them a pick. Something the Bulls ownership always does.

    Taj just had ankle surgery. He's out 4 months.

    @daldridgetnt: If @KevinDing says it's Russell for the Lakers, they have a big in their back pocket via free agency/trade....

    For some reason I think Olshey is really targeting Prozingis. Weird feeling. Dunno...

    Wouldn't surprise me to hear Faried/JV's name.

    Obviously it'd be more than just the pick.

    So what are the chances that we end up signing Love?

    99.9%. 0.1% if they resign Aldridge

    Would be an interesting turn of events, wouldn't it?

    It would. I hate Love, but he's better than nothing.

    What if we were able to sign Love AND someone like Danny Green? That's like Stotts' wet dream right there.

    Dame
    Crabbe (?)
    Green
    Love
    Nards

    Threes! Threes everywhere!

    I'd rather have Love than Aldridge right now to be perfectly honest. Love actually likes Portland.

    He's a worse player overall, but a better offensive player, and would make the team pretty fun to watch.

    EDIT: Forgot he's younger too, so there's always the chance he learns how to be acceptable on defense.
