    Hearing Spencer Hawes may be too expensive for Clippers, Seeking $8 million per, made $6.5 million last season

    Hawes might be the best. I was just being a smart ass.

    Although I was right.

    So it would have to be a sign-and-trade.

    Hmmm that would have to be a sign and trade and since the Cavs are trying to keep him for themselves I doubt they'd be interested in helping us out.

    If Hawes doesn't bring his asking price down we probably have to go a different direction.

    What is the Hawes/Lopez comparison? Why are we doing this?

    No thanks. I think you can get Frye for 3/15. I'd rather do that

    I think he's worth 7-8 million though. I don't think that's unfair.

    Cleveland would probably cooperate if they thought he would leave if they don't play ball.

    Think I'd rather have Monroe at $14 million than Hawes at $8 million.

    Yeah, but Monroe is an RFA so that simply might not be possible.

    Yeah agreed, I'd rather do that than Hawes at 4 years 32 million!

    Not me. I like Channing, but he's much older and I'm still worried about his health.

    Well Hawes at $8 million is the same to us as a restricted free agent. Only way we can sign either is through a sign and trade.

    Detroit supposedly doesn't want Monroe on a huge contract and already has their starters in Drummond/Smith so he's probably more attainable.

    I feel he is better overall and not quite as soft.

    In the end Portland has to be realistic. They are not going to go after players that had no interest in the market and doesn't fit culture of team. Spencer makes a lot of sense and I hope they land him.

    Yep, if we have to sign and trade i'd rather go for monroe as well. Just get Channing for the MLE if you want a jump shooting big that badly.

    The difference though is that Spencer COULD sign with us outright. He would have to take less, but he has the power. So Cleveland would have to be convinced that he was serious about leaving.

    Is Hawes the Cavs best big man? Sobering thought.

    Spencer Hawes is all about the money. And you are right about the political views. :lol:
