    maybe before last season, Denver would do that, but not after the year he just had.

    It made perfect sense to me. Some other poster mentioned that LMA might be trade bait now. They said they would trade him for Devin Harris. I just don't think that is a sure enough move to trade a 6'11" burgeoning talent like LMA.

    That's why I went with the CP3 trade where NOH got Devin Harris and NJ got LMA while we got CP3 with bad contract swaps etc. Tried to solve those three teams problems and make them all better. A trade thread is not a bad idea. I felt like it was your thread and if it was taking up space I'd delete it. Sorry I was a bit snarky but I did put thought into that trade.

    No problem at all. I'm sure the trade made sense in terms of clearing up the logjam at PF if Millsap ends up in PDX.

    It would mean nothing. The whole point to bringing in Paul Milsap is to provide quality depth at PF and bring the rebounding of the bench unit back up to par. If you move Aldridge after bringing him in, you are just causing another problem.

    He'll get 80-90% of the max.

    80% of max (assuming a 50.4M cap) is a 5yr/60M contract starting at 10.08M
