Aren't you glad Aldridge isn't playing like this for another team?

    This thread title reminds me of "don't you wish your girlfriend is hit like me"

    I think Bosh is one of the more underrated players in the league now. Being the 3rd Wheel of the SuperFriends took away a lot of his looks, and turned him into a glorified role player. I wouldn't trade LMA straight up for him b/c he's a year older and not likely to re-sign in POR, but he's better than LMA at what LMA does best (shooting long jumpers). His career rebounding %s are higher than LMA's best year (last year). They're similar on defense. He has a quirkiness to his mindset that I think would fit in here.

    I think the Blazers need to find an All Star-caliber PF who's going to be here for a while to pair with Lillard. If that's LMA, good. If not, there are others who are comparably expensive/hard to get/good. Asik/Parsons are not that player.

    A forum "insider" with this from a few weeks ago:

    "Morey's dream is having Aldridge on this team, but it's not going to happen.. Portland is not interested in Asik or any of our reserves WHATSOEVER!"

    That forum is great fun. They think Asik can get them a legit top 15-25 player in the league and almost seem to think we would have to throw something in if we traded LA for Asik to make it fair.

    Wow. I know it's a simple error. But it goes to show how one misspelled letter makes the sentence go from funny to downright wrong.
