    Only way I would entertain helping them get Aldridge is for Kwahi Leonard.

    Given how small ball is taking off I like the idea of a cheaper platoon system at C, we have a solid guy now with Plumlee who costs a paltry 1.4 mil next season, adding a C like Koufus or PF/C's like Ed Davis/Brandan Wright/Jordan Hill or others to me might be the better way to go, and spend the bigger bucks on SF/SG or PF if LMA leaves. And if Vonleh does develop he could be almost an ideal new style PF/C with his good 2-way potential.

    I think his knee issues were anthroscopic surgery after 2014, last years hamstrings bothered him. his feet were/are a chronic health issue for some time. he would bring his bird rights to Portland in a trade. I doubt his bolting is any more likely than Hibberts. would come down to $ in the end.

    All depends on the GM. If he is building with LA in mind and trying to reel him in, he's thinking bigger. If he's not. This very well could be likely.

    I agree, much depends on LMA

    I have wanted to get Noah since his rookie year. He was looking pretty broken down towards the end of this season, but hell, let's get him, sign Deng, and get Thibs on the phone.

    Well, I definitely wouldn't want splitter for him. That would be a huge mistake IMO

    If a girl breaks up with you would you help her find a new dude?

    If doing that helped me in turn find a new girl. However, like Mags said, if that new girl wasn't worth it, then I wouldn't

    But in your scenario, if my 10 of a girlfriend broke up with me, and she said I am going to date this guy, and if you help you will get another 10 or two 8's then I probably would
