    I suspect Dirk seeks a trade since their team is gutted and lost out on all FA's. We may be a team to help facilitate a deal. I doubt we are the team that ends up with Dirk -- although that would be pretty sweet if it did happen.

    am thinking the same, just scanning through rosters and salaries, and a good fit isn't really jumping out at me. I think Hayes paired with Evans might make a bit of sense. They're resigning Thompson, just drafted Robinson, Hayes at full MLE isn't really worth it there. He only has 3 years, and cheap, and won't take development time away. He did look fat as shit last season, though. He might be 400 pounds by now, I dunno.

    Moving noah would make it a lot easier to match Asik.

    No, I know you were. I just had had this thought all along. It wasn't a dig at you, more I'm just wondering what the plan is....

    Varajao is another great option but their price tag is absurd.

    Amico, a Cavs fan, would want Aldridge in return.

    Agreed, though maybe when they say retard his development, it just means they don't want to bring someone in who has developing to do as well. Like, McGee, say, or something like that. Whereas hibbert doesn't really need more development, same with Noah, etc. Like, if we're focusing on developing one center, we wantit to be Leonard, so we want the trade guy to come in not needing that extra time after work with coaches. No clue. Probably just a nice way to set us up for a crap option, by saying hey, we want to develop him,a nd any good option woould take that time away

    Let's be sure to sign JJ Hickson - we need some bigs if Hibbert is no longer in the cards.

    Three-team trade?

    Involves some S&T's:

    To Indy:

    Kaman (PDX signs him and then trades him?)
    Williams & Barea (from TWolves)

    To Portland

    Hibbert (after S&T)


    To TWolves

    Batum (after S&T)

    In no way would I support helping Kahn in any way.

    Sorry, don't think we're giving Williams in a S&T for Batum. Don't need to. How about Ridnour?

    Well, you would NEED to, if you want to guarantee landing him.

    If they are matching Hibbert, I don't think they are interested in S&T's.

    Since the Blazers are under no obligation to do a sign and trade, why would they settle for just Ridnour?

    Sounds like the only player Neil would have interest in on that entire roster is Love.

    It's safe to say that there will be no trades between these two teams.

    According to who? you rubes?

    What Portland needs to do is not take on $11mil in salary every year for Batum. How does that get you Williams? It could get you Ridnour who is a decent PG.

    what are you guys going to offer batum? 11? fine, we match. you move on to plan b. Do you want to guarantee you get him, by offering a good S&T? Then you don't come in with shit like Ridnour. Will it be an overpay some of us are unhappy with? Probably. Ridnour gets you nowhere. buhbye.
