    If Aldridge goes to Miami, they would surely just give us an even swap for Bosh. The other players won't be included. We would do it too

    Bosh probably couldn't pass the physical..Whiteside and Deng would be an option though

    Bosh is plug-and-play with LMA... the playbook wouldn't change.

    um, what?

    I think they'd love to run a Dragic/Wade/??/LMA/Bosh lineup. If that means we get Deng, McBob and Winslow, I'm ok with that

    Bosh doesn't mind playing Center unlike LMA.

    Riley always tries to get players to take a discount ..Lamarcus ain't taking a discount

    Detroit signed Aron Baynes from San Antonio. Add him to the list of relocated players.

    If Ole' could get Winslow as part of a package for LMA, I would take back all the nasty comments.

    Never gonna happen - but it would be brilliant on his part. Winslow is the Paul Pierce of the 2015 draft.

    I'd do Deng and Chalmers if we got Winslow out of the deal, assuming he's leaving us anyways. I wouldn't do it for those 2 and some far off likely never received draft pick, though.

    I don't think they'd give up Whiteside, and they've already jettisoned an insane number of future 1sts, so I say Deng and Winslow. Let them find an SF somewhere else.

    Where is Rebecca Haarlow these days? Maybe that will be a factor.

    He's taking a 30mil discount if he leaves at all.

    She's with Memphis, yeah? I seem to remember she showed up in the playoffs interviewing LA.

    Is he in the Federal Witness Relocation Program? He should have opted for prison.

    Not possible. Aldridge will not play center. He will only go there if they have Whitside

    Agreed about Whiteside. But if they offer Winslow, then I really think we should do it. There's a big gaping hole in our roster for an all-round SF like Winslow.

    Rather have Chalmers than McBob; we need a backup PG. Deng/Winslow/Chalmers would be an insanely good return for LA. Which means there's absolutely 0% chance of it happening.
