    The combined salaries are a lot for two medium-quality centers.

    Portland GM Neil Olshey met with free agent Spencer Hawes and his agent, Greg Lawrence, tonight in Los Angeles, sources tell Yahoo.

    Blazers are intriguing suitor for Hawes, who still lives in his native Seattle. Terry Stotts laid out how he'd use Hawes in meeting.

    What did the famous Jack Nicholson say as the Joker?

    "I like him already!"

    Maybe Spence would give us the Northwest discount since we're the closest thing to his hometown.

    Yeah, but he knew Bruce Wayne was talking about him as Jack Napier. He loved the ego stroke!

    I like Lopez the hippie. Hawes is Redundant Right. We don't need a pair of the same thing.

    I'd take Hawes over Frye easily. Hawes would bring instant offense to our bench. Upgrade our bench scoring immediately.

    Looks like first person Olshey meets with is Hawes agent in LA. . . . seems indicative of who is first on his list of wants.

    Besides, we can have TRob and Hawes in the 4/5 positions at the same time.

    I'm more worried about what he thinks about sign and trade, than cap and trade.

    And that's how you get a sign-and-trade done.

    Hawes makes 1.6 3s per game. Big deal.

    I bet he's ours unless some stupid team with cap space offers him too much.

    So if Hawes wants 8 mil per, and Cleveland is under the cap, we don't have to worry about matching salaries?

    What scenario would benefit the Cavs? (Realistically)
