    I like the idea. If it is Wright, who I could see the lakers wanting, then Blazers would have to target both a SF and a PG.

    I like Chalmers.

    Then Blazers do the same thing. If Chalmers is worth about 3-4, over pay him the first yr for flexibility the second year. Between Kaman and Chalmers (or whoever) that would be about 10 million we could offer to a team looking for salary cap space.

    Chalmers might be looking for a way out if both LBJ and Bosh are gone.

    Chalmers could probably get a 4 yr deal for more than 10 mil (sick how much money we are discussing). Blake will have a hard time getting a 4 yr deal, maybe do the up front loaded contract with Blake . . . who the Lakers could also sign and trade. My head is spinning . . .

    I would like Chalmers because he's a vet that was on a winning system.

    Why would the Lakers want to do that? They want to clear cap space too.

    If the Lakers use cap space to sign a couple of max deals, they're going to need some cheap young players to fill out the roster. The Blazers can supply those contracts.

    When does the moratorium end? It would be great we could retain our MLE for other deals. Then again, if this is done via MLE and we get other deals via trades, that's fine as well.

    I was tearin up NYC this past weekend and didn't really follow what was going on much. Saw this news and immediately felt deflated since I wanted a lot more.
