    I read it as random speculation by someone who knows as much as you or me.

    Because a third team with a $3M trade exception wants Freeland and sends LA a draft pick?

    Yeah, seriously. You don't think Indiana would benefit from adding Freeland to their roster? They have a $4M exception from the Granger deal.

    I would really like to see Aminu here. He could play some SF off the bench moving Nic to SG and off the bench Barton could be at the PG spot with all three of them splitting the ball-handling duties. Such a much more defensively disruptive group off the bench than Lillard/Williams/Wright.....ugh.

    That would be very disruptive on the perimeter.

    I have been hesitant on Aminu mainly because he is such a poor shooter. I love his defense, he just doesn't give you enough on the offensive side of the ball.

    Isn't Aminu still pretty young? I'd be shocked if he went for only the BAE.

    Yes he is young, but he is no more than a defensive specialist. He is basically Wesley Johnson but better.

    This thread could teach Olshey some creativity. Even if the names are unlikely, he could fill in the blanks with different players.

    More Freeland on Chris Kaman: “It means me and Meyers (Leonard) have to pick it up more and prove our worth so we can play on this team."

    Joel Freeland on #blazers’ addition of Chris Kaman: “It’s a business. What can we do? He’s a great player. He’s going to help us a lot."
