    Because Lebron is fairly unselfish, I do think it would be fun. With LMA, Damian, Rolo, Wes and Lebron.....it would be quite fun!

    I am sure Oden will tell LeBron how awesome Portland is. This is in the bag.

    Give me someone who can and is willing to play some perimeter defense and/or someone will to score on the box night in and night out. Would love me some Al Jefferson.

    Did the Magic give the reasoning behind the buyout?

    Glen Davis and the travelodge incident about 2 months ago:

    He shows how he earned the nickname Big Baby!

    Man, I know that this is the easy thing to say at this point when the guy hasn't been playing but this is a guy who is very versatile on both ends of the court. He is 6'9, he can defend multiple positions, he can play smart on defense and is fundamentally sound on offense as well. The ONLY knock on the guy is that his shots don't go in the bucket even when his shot selection, form and stroke are all very good.

    I don't know what the bottom line is why he's not playing but he's going to be a valuable player at some point.

    Their's other players I would cut before him.

    Like who? Claver is a "What have you done for me lately" Kind of player. Antawn Jamison could give more to this team than Victor Claver does.

    This comment is just silly. Claver is better than Big Baby.

    So reports say that the Hornets are aggressive in trade talks: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/235719/Hornets-Aggressive-In-Trade-Talks

    The Charlotte Hornets have been aggressive in making trade calls as they begin the season slowly, according to sources.

    The Hornets are searching for upgrades on the wing and at power forward. Anyone other than Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson is available, though they're also unlikely to consider trading Lance Stephenson.

    The Hornets didn't do enough in the offseason to fix their perimeter shooting issues and that has caused their offense to stagnate.

    Would the Blazers be interested in Gerald Henderson maybe?
