    You are correct, and it's pretty obvious since you can see he's placing it on the table and setting it up to fold the jersey.

    Kind of crazy the Suns had 3 pgs trying to play together, fighting for the ball and time and now all 3 might be gone.

    Brandon Knight isn't worth that.

    Bledsoe has a knee issue, right?

    What happened to Bledsoe's career after hitting PHX? He was quickly becoming an elite PG in LA, gets traded to PHX and never hear about him again.

    Yes but it seemed it was finally behind him. Who knows though. Phoenix has one helluva training staff, so maybe they have a red flag

    Parsons doing some quality recruiting. Mavs adding Jordan and Matthews makes them better quickly.

    I would love for them to add DeAndre Jordan. They aren't getting LMA if that scenario plays out.

    If Jordan goes to Dallas. Where do we anticipate Chandler going?

    Assuming Wes comes back at 100%.

    Dallas is one of those playoff ready teams. In other words, make the playoffs where ever you can as long as everyone is healthy. I believe they would be incredibly patient with Wes

    That's fine, and I hope he gets his big payday, but I just really don't want to see the Blazers invest a ton of money into someone that might not come back at full strength.

    That's one of my big worries as well. I absolutely love Wes, but not 12+ per year, injured, not being able to land other free agent WES

    This is our big summer. After we max Dame and either max LA or bring in a replacement, we won't have much cap space. If we throw a bunch of money at Wes and he can't come back strong, we would be seriously screwed.

    So in summary:

    Out:
    Aldridge
    Batum
    Matthews
    Lopez
    #23 pick

    In:
    Monroe
    Aminu
    Henderson
    Plumlee

    bleh, we get a 35-40 win team with relatively big contracts, and little hope for improvement in the future.

    Hope there's more coming our way

    Yep, it would be almost as bad as the Brandon Roy debacle where we have zero flexibility if things don't pan out.

    Also, I would much rather lose Matthews and Aldridge if it means Olshey can have room to operate in the next few years. Obviously you want to tie up Aldridge, but if he bolts, then why would you sign anyone other than a top tier free agent to a large contract?

    If LA left, I don't think it would just be Aminu and Monroe coming back. I think there would be another player. Don't we have enough for two max deals?
