    Butler and Love would probably be better than just LMA, actually.

    Butler and Love would be a better 3/4 duo than Batum and LA were.

    Every restricted free agent SF out there will be calling the Blazers hoping to get a max offer to take back to their team to match.
    Butler, Green, Leonard.........all guaranteed max deals.

    I'd offer Leonard a max deal. He's got the goods.

    Plus it has the added benefit of ham-stringing San Antonio in the LA sweepstakes.

    As you know, I'm a dirty stinkin Batum lover.

    But wouldn't it be sweet to replace Batum with the guy we wish he was?

    :cheers:

    Indeed (I also liked Batum)!

    Plus even if he doesn't accept our offer, it would hurt San Antonio a bit if they had to match.

    The only problem with that is tying up our $ for 3 days when it could be used to lure someone else

    Olshey draft pick. No doubt in my mind he ends up here. Then again, there was no doubt in my mind Roy was an average player, so......

    Looks like Tobias Harris could be available now that Orlando drafted a SF.
    He is a restricted FA but how high will Orlando go to match

    Now we just have to find someone with a pulse who actually wants to play for Portland. Shouldn't be too hard

    At this point Meyers might be the starting SF.

    Offer a lot of money to Draymond Green if he matches, at least we made the Warriors pay. He's already the defender everyone was pining for, and it would solve our problem at SF.

    The Spurs would match a max offer for Leonard, but it would be cool if we could sign him, then bring Vashon Leonard out of retirement and have a starting lineup with 3 Leonards.
