It looks like you all are trading Aldridge to the Blazers for their #4 pick. I'm predicting you all take Tyrus Thomas at #4
I cannot express in words how mad I am right now. I rather just get Thomas right now instead of getting Viktor or w/e his name is.
I don't mind Thomas, but I want height on the team... We lost a lot of games because of our height in the front court? If Sweets starts, 2 guys in the front court that are fuking 6'8.
I don’t mind Tyrus he is still going to be a good player. Good move by Paxson getting a future pick, and another player. Now watch Jordan take Tyrus I would laugh. We could still keep Aldridge lol. Can’t say I’m disappointed I trust Paxson.

He still has to add more muscle than LaMarcus. Hopefully not another Tyson. Even if we add a big guy during FA, that's not our future.
Tyrus has some offensive skills, better than Tyson. But, I would still rather have Aldridge. I'm not saying he's not going to be good though.
Thomas has a 7’2” wing span so he plays like a seven footer. He can play power forward, and likely will especially since we like using small lineups. We can address front court height by drafting Sene or through free agency. Now let’s see who we get at 16. I think we trade Chandler before the season.

Even if he has that wingspan doesn't mean he could guard Dwight Howard and such.

Tyrus is a lot stronger than Aldridge and his wing span makes him a better defender than Aldridge. Thomas would probably guard Howard better than Aldridge would. We can us Chandler on Howard if all else fails. We have a lot of cap space like I said before. We will likely sign Pryzbella, Nazr, or Ben Wallace in free agency. So we are good.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting SP23:</div><div class="quote_post">lol, if they try and make him a SF I'll be pissed.</div> Yeah I wanna see him play PF if he get to 230lb. I wanna see deng start.
ol' boy needs to do something because we got Loul Deng, Andreas Nocioni, and now him all around 6'7" - 6'8" Dude, is atheletic, I know that. But I dunno, we'll see...
