    As much as I love Rolo, that's not a great team. Pierce is a role player at this point. Who is the other star on that team?

    Aldridge is a great defender.

    The one positive in Love is if... if.. Lamarcus leaves Love is a good PF, and his max is lower than Aldridge meaning we would have more cap space to swing big.

    He's also younger, and passes the ball better. Our offensive efficiency might actually improve. Only question is defense. You could say we lose a low post scorer but the league is changing and the warriors just won a ring without one.

    Yes. Aldridge is an underrated defender

    Nah. He's lazy on defense. I know because I scream at him through the tv every night. He's a very good defender when he tries, but that's not very often. So frustrating. Still he's better than Love

    I will say this... If somehow Aldridge ends up with the Lakers, he will be dead to me.

    I'll take Love only if we could add enough pieces to still contend. I think Love would make our offense better and would fit better with Lillard, allowing him to be the #1 option and spacing the floor more. Imagine being able to trot out a lineup of Love and Meyers at PF and C against a team like Memphis. The middle would be so open and having Lillard and CJ come off pick n pops with them and carving inside the defense would be deadly.
    His defense isn't great but hopefully we'd get a great defensive center to cover up that side of the ball.

    It's too rude for me to relate.

    Switch that up to career head to head and it will show Aldridge seriously out performing Zach.

    Memphis owns Portland.
