    Confirming what @calvin natt was saying. I suppose we'll be rumored in some capacity here.

    Unless he’s bought out, I don’t see how we could get him.

    If he expects to be a starter, good luck. I have very little interest in bringing him back. Even as a token starter.

    Has his game diminished that much?

    He's no longer a PF, and with nurks return imminent, what's the point?

    Especially on defense. You can sorta make him work as a center on offense, but he has been a turnstile on D. Maybe he was dogging it but looked really bad this yr.

    I agree a trade to Portland seems highly unlikely.

    He’s an expiring contract so it’s not like it cripples a franchise in free agency and cap implications like trading for a Westbrook or a Wall does.

    I think he has more to offer a contender off the bench than Blake Griffin, just based on style of play.

    He'd be an upgrade for the Heat with Meyers out

    I'd rather wait on Porter to get bought out but have a sneaking suspiscion that Aldridge is the reason Olshey didn't fill out the empty spot.
