    Seeing teams like the suns and Toronto on his list of teams getting meeting a makes me think this really is the "everyone pay attention to me" your. It actually makes me more confident he might be coming back

    So what this really means is Love, Millsap and Gasol are in play

    What fun would it be if Lamarcus let everyone know where he's going before he's been wined and dined..he calls Olshey all the time, it's not like they don' t have at least 2 scenarios..one with him staying and one with a sign and trade that he already knows about...nobody would take him to dinner if they knew he was part of a move one way or the other. Going to see a lot of smoke screens for the next week and a half.

    Keep on hammering away...If he has any representation following the forum....you might guilt him into staying...

    The setup for a pending disappointment re: Aldridge (from tonight's O-Live article):

    Can you imagine a lineup of Plumlee and Meyers Leonard leaking out for fast breaks?

    Same with Monroe if we got him, the dude might be the best big in the league at running the floor. Plus Meyers on the trail 3s.

    I would be seriously remiss if I didn't say Trail Blazers GM Neil Olshey is more than capable of pulling rabbits even if LaMarcus leaves.

    We get it Tunchi, you say the same exact thing in every single post. Why don't you weight in with something that's not pessimistic and depressing?:goth:

    I wonder what Olshey's doing? I could see him trying to sign someone big along with LA. While LA's being courted, Olshey tries to grab someone to play along with him. But who? Doesn't sound like we have a meeting with Jordan. Is Monroe the best he's got? I would assume Olshey is going to be aggressive at midnight tomorrow, and not just sit back and wait. Will be interesting to see if anything leaks early...

    Olshey is also one of Woj's biggest supporters/whisperers...it's all just smoke screens. July 1 can't get here soon enough, just get it over with.

    I don't think we're going to hear much about what we're doing aside from the obvious options (like Monroe, who we pursued last season).
