No way we're keeping this pick

Hahaha now you like Kevin Martin!

Aldridge/Matthews for Noah/Deng? Lillard did say he was modeling his game after Derrick Rose. We would suddenly be the 2011 Bulls plus Batum.

 

Okay, our other franchise player.

 

Guess you didn't get the pun that night.

 

I think we lose on that deal simply because Noah has had healthy issues the last 3 years and Deng is off the books next year isn't he?

 

Why would Chicago trade Noah?

 

They wouldn't unless we offered Aldridge.

 

When is the deadline? Is it the end of June. In the event that he hurts himself (Slipping in the shower or whatever) wouldn't you wait until the last day or two?

 

They still wouldn't. Noah is the breakout star of this postseason; have you people been watching? He also got an MVP vote.

 

I disagree. Tibs would do wonders with Aldridge. Aldridge paired with rose would be a Godsend.

 

Huh? You mean he can do more defensively, Mags?

 

Because there owner is very greedy and all about the Green and not paying the lux tax.

 

Absolutely

 

If Houston lands Howard we should be able to swing a deal for Asik.

 

I would be down for that

 

This or Gortat is what i'm hoping for. I'd trade the #10 pick/something else for Asik and Thompson or parsons or Jones.

 

How much cap space do they have? I still think in the end (after Howard says he is leaving) it would come down to a trade and Asik would be involved going to LA

 

I'd much prefer Asik to Gortat because of his elite defensive awareness. Parsons is probably untouchable but Robinson might be an option.

 

Good question. I'm not sure. I've been operating under the assumption they have max room.

 

Asik is probably the better player and fits our age group better, but I really like Gortats ability on both sides of the P&R(offense/defense).

 

I'm still thinking a three way between minny, Brooklyn and lakers is gonna happen.
