    At this point, if we re-sign Aldridge, we don't have the CAP space for Monroe without further moves.

    Simple. you start LA, Monroe, Leonard, Plumlee, and Vonleh. Kamen comes off the bench.

    We gotta have at least 13 players on the roster. And injuries happen. Depth is a good thing.

    Detroit takes him in a sign and trade for Monroe? Or Dallas takes him in a sign and trade for Aminu?

    I agree. By my math, Aminu $7M + Aldridge $20M leaves the Blazers with about $14M CAP space. That's less than the max Monroe could earn ($15.8M).

    x factor..he showed up in the playoffs and had a career year. He's an above average defender and shot blocker with quick hands..gets a lot of steals

    Do they have a new estimate of the CAP? $67.1M is what I've been using. However, if they raise the CAP number, that also raises the max salaries for Aldridge and Monroe.

    This is a very frightening time as a Blazer fan, I'm scared we're going to lose LMA and Wes and only have Gerald Henderson and Aminu to show for it starting.

    Aminu is the 12th best player from his class (2010) based on Win Shares.

    The best? Greg Monroe.

    He had 6 blocks against the rockets last year. Dude is kinda like Batum in the sense that he can do a little bit of everything. Except he doesn't burn himself out with his national team every summer.

    I still would be happier if the contract was lower, but duckhooks point about paying for what could be was an excellent point which I cannot argue.

    Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS 2h2 hours ago
    League sources tell @CBSSports that the 2015-16 salary cap could be as much as $2 million higher than projected. http://cbsprt.co/1Nu3Cll

    But their hit is only 35% right? so not dollar for dollar

    That's what NOP will be paying Anthony Davis each season so..that's not bad for 4 years.

    It's looking more and more like our roster isn't filled with guys who think they're 3 pt specialist and we've weeded it down to the pure shooter we have. Do you realize how much fresher our shooters are going to beafter being paired with defensive specialists who don't need the ball but are good at slashing to the rim and dunking? I'd think fans would be pretty happy about now
