    Via Chad Ford's chat just now

    No link, but it's on ESPN in the chat.

    EDIT: He was answering Rudy+LA for Bosh btw.

    Well c'mon--of course we would offer that, considering the Nets were offering that same package for Chris Paul.
    Aldridge < Harris+Favors < Paul. Simple math.

    Aldridge may have been in play on draft night, but I don't think that deal works from a cap standpoint now that his new contract has kicked in and he's subject to BYC restrictions.

    Storyteller has LA's contract as counting as "$11,807,471 for trade purposes."

    It might not be hard to trade LA at alll.

    And I'd definitely do that trade. It's overwhelmingly in our favor.

    The Nets might call back if they don't get two first-tier players going for their cap room.

    Not sure how I feel about that trade. I have a feeling that both Harris and Favors are overrated and that Aldridge is underrated.

    On draft night it was worse since he was PPP. Favors/Harris/LA would need some tweaking, but could work.

    I don't know how to feel about that trade either.

    That would have been prior to 7/1, due to the PPP. Now, it's 8.27M for us, 10.7M for recipient. Easy to trade him for Harris + unsigned pick....after Prokhorov is blindfolded, tied up, and drugged.

    Ah, good call. Ya, his PPP has now expired.

    With the PF position loaded and PG extremely bare in FA, I am not holding my breath.

    We could send filler, since the Nets are under the cap.

    I sincerely doubt they want Aldridge that much even if they strike out in free agency. I think they would rather take the gamble on Favors and keep Harris.

    Storyteller has Aldridge counting as $5,844,827 out for trade purposes, which means that the most the Blazers could take back would be $7.41M, unless I'm missing something.

    Alright, where's Boomchakalaka or Idog to give us a good 3-way deal involving Paul, Harris, Favors, and Aldridge?

    Well, it seems like a moot point to talk numbers. The Nets obviously (and rightfully) turned down the proposals. If I had Harris/Favors I'd probably hang up the phone our offer of LMA.

    Nope, my mistake. I was misreading the BYC rules.
