    If I'm Cleveland, I tell Lebron "I'd rather get nothing than send you to join a team with Paul, Roy, and Oden"

    If NOH is willing to move Paul I can't think of a realistically better offer then that for Paul. Offloading Okafor's contract, picking up relief a borderline All-Star, up and coming defensive wing with major upside and perhaps a top ten pick to sweeten the deal? I think NOH has to REALLY think about that offer. Especially if they can move LMA or West.

    I'd like Paul/Roy/Batum/LMA/Camby better.

    Hey, if we are going to dream, dream big! :lol:

    You're kidding right? LMA has shown flashes of 20 and 10. Oden has shown flashes of all-time defensive rebounding great. LMA has health going for him but has the heart of a 3rd grade girl. If we're fantasizing lets imagine LMA going.

    I can see you valuing Batum over Oden based on health. I would accept that angle.

    The #22 and #34 for #11? If NO offers that, grab it before they sober up!

    Not at all. If Paul could turn Chandler and West into all-stars, he can certainly do the same with LMA. 82 games of LMA >>>>20-30 games of Oden.

    You guys really kill me. Why would you take on salary of someone you didn't want? If Lebron leaves then Cleveland will have some room to make some moves, but not if they take back salary of a guy just to make Lebron happy. Portland wouldn't have any leverage because unless we shipped out who they wanted, we couldn't get Lebron.

    Ok, if KP trades up that high I have to think he's after Paul George.

    So you are in the Oden is ruined forever camp eh? Even CP3 can't stop LMA's knees from shaking when he gets near the painted area.

    I agree.

    Do you think KP would then try and turn #11 and Rudy into something higher....maybe with Minny?

    LOL, I should have added some smilies, I guess. I was trying to facetiousl emulate Denny Crane who was saying the same about how Chicago would hold all the leverage if Lebron or Bosh chose the Bulls.

    LOL ok. I honestly didn't look who posted it either. Had I seen it was you I would have figured it was facetious.

    With the Bulls, DC is right, because they can actually sign Lebron outright.

    the guy is a big time talent, but hes had two major injuries in 3 years, nothing leads me to believe he will ever be healthy for any length of time

    That would be sweet - and not totally outlandish. Minny might want more - say a future pick - but I would still do it! If you can't find an above average player with the #4 pick, you just aren't trying very hard.

    Maybe LMA's knees shaking is better than Oden's knees breaking?
