    Sure--Matthews and Monroe would have to sign for a combined 16M. That's not happening.

    Hmmm. It seems as if the decisions of both Monroe and Aldridge might depend on each other. If Monroe knows we will have Aldridge it seems that would make us the most attractive team over LA, New York and Milwaukee. For Aldridge maybe it not as clear; does he really prefer Monroe over Lopez, but if he thought it made us a stronger team and with the extra money? Anyway if we did get those two, it would seem then we would try to trade for a better SG. Looking back now we can see that neither Olshey or any inside guys have mentioned Lopez or Matthews in relation to the Blazers so it shouldn't be a big surprise if they are out; although I suppose if they don't get either;or Aldridge, Monroe, that could change.

    I would too. Then I would think about trading Henderson and Kaman for another player.

    It would require some fancy cap maneuvering but its not necessarily impossible to keep all those guys. I agree LaMarcus and Wes won't take pay discounts though. But we could find a trade where we agree to swap picks for teams to take on Kaman and Hendo contract. Or Monroe gets acquired in a sign and trade.

    But if the rumors are true that Dallas is offering Wes a deal starting around $12 million I think we'll just let him walk.

    That would be awesome. This would be an actual free agent TV special I'd want to tune to ESPN for.

    I think Meyers might be ready to start at PF. So we could spend our money on another 2/3. Danny Green?

    Lillard/Sergio
    Henderson/CJ
    Green/Aminu
    Leonard/Vonleh
    Monroe/Kaman

    That move would go against everything Olshey has done in the past week. Literally a 0% chance of that happening.

    Maybe they'll do a sign and trade for LA. LA gets more money and years with a sign and trade.

    Maybe they will but doubt it and the second part isn't true anymore with the new CBA.
