    There was no negotiation. All they did was click "maximum extension amount" and then "print."

    If Dame gets Aldridge to commit, I guarantee Matthews will come immediately after

    They let Dame fill in all the O's with his pen first, for fun.

    "Lamarcus, two years ago we won the first playoffs series since you've been here; injuries fucked us, so we went out, got more depth, length, and athletic - we swapped out Batum and Wes, for Plumlee, Hendo, Vonleh, Ed Davis and Aminu. We have a bench now. C'mon homie. Lets go." *Calls up Lopez on conference call - Lopez - lets go."

    Rolo only if it's a Lamarcus condition. We need another 3pt shooter more now or a backup pg

    We can't fit Wes and Rolo and LMA. Only Wes or Rolo. Would LMA be ok with Plumlee, Meyers, Davis, Vonleh, Kaman at center?

    Its conceivable we could keep all three if we trade away Hendo and Kaman.

    I really like this; first sign through all this that this might actually be a "team". I especially like that he is not just getting on the phone, but actually going down there.

    I think this is the difference between the two players. Lillard has embraced being in Portland, not sure LaMarcus has.

    I think those players would be fine. We can always use Kaman and a player for Haywood's ungauranteed

    Lillard is the kinda guy that can make the best out of any situation. Plus living in Ogden for four years acclimated him to a slower lifestyle.

    Same amount of time Wooks takes with women!

    That puts them in the same class!

    No probably not. So its a good thing that the plan is to trade some of our contracts to IND for Roy Hibbert.
