    No deal. It'd have to be Russell, Randle and Clarkson while not taking back nick young.

    Raptors and Rockets believe they have a shot.

    That's adorable.

    Looks like the Beverly Wilshire. Pitches are probably going on in a suite in the hotel.

    The Raptors interest makes sense to me an seems to indicate he may be looking for the best chance to win while also being the focal point of the offense. They have enough cap space to sign him without giving up anyone. And they have all the other pieces a big young center, a tough point guard who can drive and shoot, a very good SG. I don't know who their small forward is.
    Kaman going out in a trade is the only logical explanation; if it doesn't happen, Olshey miscalcalculated.

    I think a lot of people are missing this, but if you read the Grantland piece by Zach Lowe, there are some scenarios (although they involve some risk) where Aldridge can make more money signing elsewhere.

    He would still make more with us in those same scenarios because we hold his bird rights.

    Lowe tried to spin it that way but it's false.

    He could make even more money signing a one year deal with us, then a five year next year than what Lowe was proposing.
