    don't fear the PF position that has always been a blessing for the Blazers.

    Has anybody considered that Cleveland calling us about the first round pick is probably a far stretch even as a dream?

    Do you think this team, as its currently built, could win a championship? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely curious.

    To be honest with you I thought Nic would have done a better job on Parker.

    I think the starting line-up can compete with anyone. Do I think giving away an All-Star PF in his prime for a 19 year-old kid doesn't put the Blazers any closer to winning a championship. You want to tear up the team every summer, anyhow, so I already know where you are coming from. It's some of the newer posters' positions that I'm wondering about.

    Trade LA and Wes for #1, Bennett, Jack and Varejao.

    Draft Wiggins

    S&T for Monroe (McCollum, Freeland and Wright).

    Dame / Jack
    Wiggins / Barton
    Batum / Bennett
    Monroe / Robinson
    Lopez / Varejao

    I'm not sure Detroit is gonna retain him so at least they would be getting some young pieces and a shooter. My scenario would never happen anyway lol

    Verajo is perpetually injured, I'm surprised so many of you guys want him and his contract over cap space or hawes...

    I know what my starting asking price if I was Cleveland.

    No there isn't any trade Cleveland could put together for LaMarcus right now. If we are at the trade deadline and the team is way under .500 sure these are the type of deals you'd consider. But right now you don't. Didn't we learn from 2007 the dangers of the #1 pick? The last thing I want is to trade away a hall of fame player that has a chance of being the best Blazers of all time for a possible bust. Way to devastating downside possibilities with a move like that right now.

    What happens when LMA doesn't re-sign with the Cavs? What happens if whoever gets drafted #1 busts? Sets the franchise back years, IMO.

    Are the Cavs under the cap by enough to absorb Aldridge's salary?
    If they do I make this trade for Wiggins, then sign a PF in free agency (we'd be under the cap, right) or in a trade using the cap-room/trade exception.

    That's perfect. Trade Aldridge for Wiggins, Sign Deng, re-sign Mo and we're good to go.
