    TRob and Barton will be the last to go, and only for someone big. Both have way too much upside.

    I would rather have batum than Monroe.

    Yup. I said that I thought he'd be gone because at that time we hadn't signed any free agents yet, and we had just come off a very shitty season in which Aldridge was extremely unhappy. I did not think this team would win 54 games and make it to the second round of the playoffs at that time. Of course, after Neil made his moves I changed my tune and I predicted that we would finish 4th or 5th (which we did) and that we would probably win in the low 50's (which we did).

    My prediction was predicated on our team being horrible, and I underestimated Neil. He proved me wrong, and now Aldridge seems happy and wants to re-sign.

    Ugh. Well, it's only 50% of the game! Who ever won anything playing defense?

    Good call about Falk. I remember him saying those things.

    Aldridge, Monroe, Batum would be dynamic. Spurs-like. If sign-and-trade for Monroe didn't include Batum.

    So what does that mean? Falk is going to force his guy to be a bench player? Lol

    SF is easy. Are you 6'5" - 6'10"? Can you hit a three? Are you not the slowest man on the court? You're a SF.
    There are no SGs so it literally doesn't matter what you put on the court. Another PG? A skinny SF? Who the fuck cares anymore?

    Besides, we have Barton, in whom I have some faith.

    If we brought in Monroe without moving Rolo, I don't see how we could keep both long term. Monroe's contract would end up being pretty big, and Rolo is up for a new deal next summer. Can't pay a backup center a ton of money.

    No, Falk is going to get one of his players out of lottery hell and to a contending team.

    Lebron to Ptd . . . lol

    Yet all sorts of random unrelated news leads you to believe LaMarcus wants to be traded? You have some sort of deep rooted subconscious need to formulate a premises of Aldridge wanting to be traded. No idea why your brain works this way; its as odd to me as some of permafried jplk reasoning.

    Very likly not, but you deal with that next summer. If ROlo has another good year, at the very least we have S&T capabilities with a top 10ish young C that could help push our team further along.

    Portland seems to have a line w/agent David Falk. When Hibbert & the Pacers reached an impasse, Portland gave Roy a max sheet. Indy matched

    Crabbe could be a 3D guy at SF eventually.

    6'6" | 6'11.25" wingspan | 8'8" reach

    He has the size. Neil is high on the guy.

    I never said I believed it. I was hypothesizing. Why do you feel the need to attack me personally over this?

    Not at all intending to mock Nate with this commment, so hope no offense is taken Nate, generally with a lot of theories and conspiracies, people begin to see links and connections where there really isn't, or read far to much into a connection because it fits with their underlying belief, and generally disregard anything to the contrary.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. Rolo doesn't seem like the type to get pissed at a demotion, at least I hope not.

    His release is pretty slow as I recall, but I liked him when he played.
