    Nic for Drummond - yes. Nic for Monroe - no.

    I don't think you understand what "defense" means...

    I think Monroe and T. Rob would be a good combo. And hopefully Monroe could develop a defensive game. If not; then you have either Monroe, Lopez or Aldridge to use as a trade chip before the deadline.

    LMA + Monroe is much better than Batum + Monroe.

    In his scenario it is LMA plus Drummond or Batum plus Monroe Mags. Keep up :)

    P.S. Not saying it is realistic.

    I know exactly what he's saying, but I ignored the possibility of Drummond. SO the realistic scenario is Batum + Monroe or Aldridge + Monroe.

    Everyone wants Paul George. (Lakers would kill for him) We might as well stop mentioning him as an option. It's just not going to happen.

    Yep, poor defenders never block shots. Also, playing defense doesn't mean blocked shots

    Agreed. Aldridge is a liability on defense IMHO. He is a lazy defender. He makes me want to say "Swiper stop swiping!" (a la Dora the Explorer)
    when he lazily fouls someone instead of attempting a block.

    People overlook that. It's only blocking shots and they don't give a shit about man on man D.

    I keep telling people, and most already know that I know nothing about anything, including the game of basketball. It's silly of you to even lower yourself to argue with me
