    Can we just all agree that I'm a jerk and leave it at that.

    Is noknobs just completely retarded? ... Serious question. Because you just quoted me as saying it's been answered non-stop for 20 posts, and then say I can't answer the question....

    IT... HAS... ALREADY... BEEN...ANSWERED

    I doubt that. Not in this CBA. Aldridge is making 13.5 this year. I bet Milsap gets closer to 8 or 9 per year. Maybe 10.

    He has already turned down over 9 per year. You could say he is an idiot but I would have to think he (or his agent) has a better idea what he is going to get then us.

    Agreed. But I think we should move this whole thing to Mt. Tabor.

    And comparing those players' gap in age is stupid because THEY ARE ALL FUTURE HOFERS.

    Unfortunately for him there are a number of talented bigs available this summer. It's probably the worst position to be a free agent right now.

    Well, I mean those guys aren't Delonte West or Kenyon Martin... but they'd get us by.

    Lets just say that in your hypothetical situation that you aren't going to get him for as cheap as you think. Not that it is the worst of your problems.

    What kind of deal do you think he's going to get?

    Keep in mind that he'll be competing with Josh Smith, David West, and Hickson for contracts, as well as Howard, Bynum, Al Jeff, and Pekovic.

    I don't think Aldridge will be the foundation of the team starting next year. Probably not even after the AS break.

    Might be reason enough to trade him if another team thinks he will be for them.

    I would take the over on 9.4 per year average for likely 4 years.

    These guys have grown too soft for anything like Mt Tabor. We better start off at an ant hill at Water Front Park.

    You don't think that the foundation will be, currently, Aldridge and Lillard? Isn't that the whole point behind noknobs post? That Aldridge and Lillard are the future and present of the team?

    That may very well happen, and if it does then he will not be available this summer.

    If someone is pushing LMA out in a year or so then wouldn't it be Batum and Lillard no matter if LMA is on the team or traded?

    Or Lillard and Batum with MKG as the third option.
