    Plan A sign Aldridge and Monroe; not gonna happen.
    Plan B sign Monroe or Aldridge; not gonna happen

    Its time for Plan C

    LaMarcus to Knicks for Calderon, Porzingas would be amazing
    LaMarcus to Rockets for DMo, Ariza, picks
    LaMarcus to Suns for a bundle of first round picks
    Afflalo to Knicks for something mediocre more likely
    Robin to Clippers if they loose DeAndre
    Wes to Kings for something

    Neil needs to get whatever he can for these guys. We have the cap room to absorb crappy contracts like Calderon.

    Or he's gonna get absolutely nothing. I'm done being optimistic.

    Plan C - Cut everyone
    Plan D - Dismantle
    Plan E - Every free agent goes
    Plan F - F**k it all!
    Plan G - Gut the veterans
    Plan H - Have cap space
    Plan I - I have a plan

    .....you get the idea.

    Best case scenario, LA chooses Phoenix and we get Bledsoe in a sign and trade. Most likely scenario we enter tank mode and Neil gets fired

    Theres no chance they give us Bledsoe; he was in the recruiting pitch. Best we could hope for is Len and maybe picks.

    Afflalo has signed a 2 year deal with the Knicks already, we're not trading him anytime soon

    Okay, but if we start hearing Joy Division, we're going to have to intervene.

    Pops has made D league players into starters..he's the master of that. He's also lost out on players he wanted to sign in free agency. I disagree with your take here Rasta

    He and every player haven't signed anything; everything is a verbal agreement until July 9th. All those agreements can be finalized as a sign and trade. Happens every year. It gives their new team extra cap room.
