    We need to have a gay person run up to LMA and take the word Trade away from him.

    Yes.

    Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    Let's pretend LaMarcus has to be traded for whatever reason.

    TANK!

    You cannot trade a Prime All-Star and "win" the trade in the now, only in the future (maybe). The Blazers WITH said All-Star is not good enough. We can't trade LaMarcus and be much better next season.

    Thus, the best option is to TANK. Especially when you consider that the 2014 draft will be much better than this year and the free agent class will be much better than this year. So, take a year off, push cap space to next year, get lottery pick or picks next year, then rebuild.

    It sounds like Neil called them about LMA.

    I'd guess he wanted Blake.

    Thus, the talks went nowhere.

    What's funny is Aldridge is actually a better piece there, but lob city fans would never go for it.

    Bulls deal would be like Deng, Boozer, and maybe Taj for LMA and filler...

    That sounds like trading Rose for JJ Hickson, Batum and maybe Freeland. The whole thing just doesnt make sense

    The fact that you didn't start with Mirotic and the CHA pick is insulting.

    Taj is a backup.

    Deng is not needed.

    Boozer is garbage.

    You're about as sharp as a bowling ball if you think Neil would go far that or anything close to that offer.

    Did we make the playoffs last year?

    No?

    Then with our All-Star, the team is not good enough.

    I don't think that is a particularly controversial statement. I thought is was just an assumed truth.

    I find articles whose basis is a vague one sentence tweet annoying, as in an opposite to credible way. However, read the tweet comments for the truly annoying. The LA fans think we're going to give them LMA for nothing. Of course they're glad to take him for free.... and HCP keeps saying THIS is a nuthouse...
