    What's weird is he said he would have left if Oden and Roy were here because he would have been the 3rd wheel. Remember this?

    Now he may want to leave because they're not competitive.

    I'm confused how the Iggy thing correlates to LMA or how it correlates to us getting Monroe or Drummond.

    What quality PF's are out there for Portland, anyway? I like JJ, but the thought of his as our PF scares me - we will absolutely get killed by the PF's on other teams. Sure, he's short as a C, but many centers in this league (at the moment) are either short or the big ones are not great scorers for the most part. I mean, moving LA to fill the center spot opens one hole and closes another. I'm not opposed to it, in the right deal for the right player. Just a question.

    They want to go in a different direction -- building around vets like Iggy and LMA.

    Detroit views Monroe as a PF btw

    They hate him as a center

    The Blazers don't have to rush into anything. They have till the trade deadline, and I suggest they take all that time to do one thing, Put a winning squad on the court immediately. The Blazers are really not that far from being something LMA would want to stay with, a good C and a couple of decent vets off the bench. I know, a good C is a lot to ask, well, I'm asking for it. And more importantly, LMA is asking for it. Olshey has really impressed me so far, he needs to really pull one big rabbit out the hat, and LMA will be much much happier. Olshey is the key, well, Olshey and Paul Allen. If they can muster one big deal, we win. I don't think LMA needs to win it all this year, he needs to feel like he is on a team that will go deep in the playoffs and can be trusted to get even better.

    Do we not have the ability to match an offer for LMA?

    WE can match, but I think LaMarcus has the final say...

    I will definitely consider your proposal but I must ask you some important questions:

    1) How big is my diamond ring (pics would be welcome)?

    2) How much life insurance do you have and am I the beneficiary?

    3) Do you have Blazer season tickets (in the Rose Garden not the free seats on your couch)?

    1) How big a diamond ring can you carry?

    2) Not yet, I don't even know your name.

    3) I did, for three seasons. Does that help?
