    He doesn't protect the rim. He's miserable at switching on to guards and wings. And on offense, he doesn't really score on the P&R like Ed or Mase, but he occupies spots on the floor that are crucial to create spacing for Dame and CJ. It's different if he were next to a guy who plays in the post or elbow like Aldridge. But our free flowing game now does not fit with what Monroe brings. And that contract... ugh. Stay away!

    Woj says PHX wants a first round pick and a young player for Markieff.

    Talk about delusional

    I think we're still in the "release bogus rumors to try to drive the price up" phase right now. As we move closer to to Thursday, the price will come down.

    Phoenix ain't getting a pick and a young player for Morris.

    LAC ain't getting half the Nuggets team for Blake Griffin.

    I could see Houston and Miami swapping Whiteside and Howard, but that's not a needle mover for either team. I don't think Howard gets Miami back into the ECF (especially if Bosh is out) and I don't think Whiteside does a damn thing for Houston. Hopefully he bails on them after this year, which would be hilarious.

    How funny would it be if the Spurs traded LMA for either Love or Griffin?

    Pretty fucking sad, considering we got nothing for him.

    Monroe can facilitate offense in the high post with his passing ability and he's actually a pretty good pick and roll defender. Add that to his rebounding (especially offensive) and his low post scoring, and id definitely love to have him. Not worried about spacing. Teams wouldn't hedge as much knowing Monroe is down low. That in itself creates space for the guards.

    Sly: Hey, remember that thing that pissed everyone off six months ago? I'm going to bring it up again and make a comment related to that thing!

    Blazer fan: I'm still a little bitter about how that turned out.

    Sly:Why are you still thinking about that thing?!? You need to let it go.

    The Howard/Horford/Whiteside three-way deal seems to be the one that would make the most sense for all involved.

    It still doesn't make sense to me because I don't see Whiteside working out in Houston, and I could see them losing him for nothing this summer. Horford works for Miami, and I guess Howard makes sense in ATL.

    Not a trade but I wonder if that changes any of Charlotte's strategy?

    I imagine Houston believes that they can still be successful this season if they put the right pieces around Harden, so I would see this as the kind of gamble they'd take. Plus, with Howard making $20M more than Whiteside, Houston would have to get back a couple other $10M contracts to balance salaries. Splitter and Deng are overpaid, but they're still decent contributors. Even if Whiteside did leave, Houston would still have Splitter as a return on the deal, as contrasted with Dwight leaving for nothing. And on the off chance that the deal stabilizes and improves the team, they might actually be able to salvage this season, and perhaps retain Whiteside if he and Harden work well together.

    Personally, I think Miami should blow it up. Wade is older than dirt, Bosh has some major health concerns, and Horford alone is not enough to push them over the top.

    Sure, I understand still being upset over LMA leaving, that's why I said it would be funny if the Spurs traded him.

    What I was commenting on is saying that we should have traded him. That was never an option.

    I would be happy to give them a big trade exception for some picks.=]. Because I think they'll still miss the playoffs and it could get us a decent pick.
