    A bunch of us were saying this over the summer. Not sure if it would have gotten it done but it sure should have been looked at.

    Lillard
    Harden
    Batum
    Hickson
    Leonard

    That would have been a solid lineup.

    LMA for Ibaka and Harden made too much sense to actually happen. I saw that trade everywhere.

    Yeah, and OKC would have Westbrook, Harden and Aldridge. Never would beat that team in the foreseeable future. Multiple rings for the Thunder pretty much guaranteed.

    It took a lot of lack of imagination to trade Harden for Lamb and Martin. Not just on Oklahoma's part.

    Now that he's not an option, what SG out there is worth LMA?

    I'd still look at DeMarcus though.

    if we're talking "right now", technically, Melo and LeBron are in that conversation. But I get your point.

    We need a real center to take pressure off LA. Hickson isn't a center, in a perfect world he comes off the bench and dominates.

    As for SGs worth LA? not a lot that we could acquire because anyone we take back has to be an allstar.

    Let it ride for a year and see what we get in the draft and possibly in free agency or a trade. We're not going to be able to get equal value for him in a trade and this team isn't going anywhere any time soon.

    Yes. Then we can officially make Lillard the new Fall Guy.

    DeMarcus Cousins!

    The only reason why he's available is because of his attitude. Strike before (or if..) he 'gets it.'
