    Why? I think hinrich would be the perfect pg/sg to back up Matthews and lillard. Noah is a legit center and plays awesome d. He's a rebounding machine too. Then Hickson can play his natural position of pf and once Leonard can learn the game, he can come it at pf.

    I might, especially if LaMarcus was to ask for a trade.

    But bigger question. why would Chicago?

    I think Aldridge would do very well there. His outside shooting will help spread the floor, and boozer is already very capable of posting up and rebounding. They put Aldridge at center and bring out the other teams defense so rose has more room in the paint to do his thing.

    yeah, but Chicago has a coach who teaches defense, and Chicago fans are probably already wanting to shoot Boozer for being soft and disappearing for stretches of the season. Add LaMarcus to that and they'd probably eat him alive.

    I don't really like a Noah/Aldridge deal. I actually like Hickson/Leonard, so if we were to deal Aldridge, I would want another impact player.

    I think things would change the moment Rose gets back. But I see your point. I think Chicago needs a player like Aldridge to get to the next level. He is at the right age for their core too.

    Aldridge is a better fit with Lillard than Hickson is with Lillard. So I would rather shop Hickson than LA.

    Would you trade two role players for a centerpiece?

    Aldridge/Babbitt/Smith

    For

    MKG/Gordon

    And then re-sign Hickson this summer

    Lillard/Price
    Batum/Gordon
    MKG/Matthews
    Hickson/Jeffries
    Leonard/Freeland

    We get some scoring punch off the bench and we add MKG as another solid piece with Batum and Lillard who fits our window.

    no, not at all. Big fan of Noah, but he works best if we have Aldridge, not alongside Hickson. We'd have no post up game whatsoever. No thanks.

    We don't have much of a post up game right now either.

    Absolutely I would, the minute that LMA suffers a career ending injury.

    Utah's got a logjam in the post, and both Jefferson and Millsap have expiring contracts. They're going to have to move one of the two before the trade deadline. Why not target one of them?
