    LMA gets double-teamed in the post, while Bosh has become Matt Bullard/Rasheed Wallace (late in his career) and camps out for kick-out passes for 3s.

    So if the Warriors had their hearts set on Aldridge, what deal would you accept?

    Lee/Thompson/Barnes?

    Sure but no way GS does that. If we were moving Aldridge and wanted to go young I would take just Thompson and Barnes. Salaries wouldn't work though.

    That's the rub. Salaries have to match. Interesting enough, Klay and Barnes have horrible PERs.

    Klay 12.7 PER
    Barnes 11.1 PER

    What would you rather have Lee/Asik or Aldridge/Kaman?

    That's like choosing between a punch in the nuts or a kick in the nuts.

    Both are better than a graze to the nuts.

    The Graze to the nuts would be signing Tiago splitter to a 4/55m contract and trading LMA for Bargs.

    Trading LMA for Bargs would be like going Lorena Bobbitt on your nuts.

    I would give a Lee/Thompson idea some serious consideration. Then move Wessy in a deal for Asik.

    The problem with it, is that Lee is older than Aldridge, and I'm not really sold on Thompson as a real difference maker. We basically trade in Aldridge for an older model, no draft picks, and a guy that could be no better than Wes. Not really the best move the team could make.

    Researched Klay some more. Nvm on that. I was kinda misguided by that 34/14 game he had in the playoffs. Seems more like an anomaly than a regular occurrence considering his mediocre performance in the other games.

    He has a shitty PER. His shooting percentage is "meh" and I can't imagine he's a better defender than Wes. Much too much hype about Klay imo.
