    Let's say LMA walks... Monroe and Noah would be a pretty awesome duo because Noah has great passing, both are great pick and roll players, Noah is damn good with running the offense.

    Or we could toss Max money at Love, which would kinda suck because love is a horrible defender, but has the range to keep defenses honest.

    Or they could go after Wade and toss max money at him, giving us a line up of Dame, Wade, Aminu, Leonard, Monroe

    Back ups of: Plumlee, CJ, Von, Fraizer, Crabbe, and Henderson.

    Zero interest in Wade coming to Portland and I suspect he feels the same.

    Man he must be marvelous at that job, but I can't begin to understand how you pay a guy max money when he just went worse than 1 for 6 (.161) shooting threes in the playoffs. He shoots more than enough threes to hurt the team and not much better the whole last half the season. I didn't look it up right now, but but I think he took more threes this season than anyone in the NBA
    at the same time begin way down the list in percentage. I don't get it, what the hell is good about this? WTF, are they paying the best mouth piece?

    He's not worth this. But what can you do, you have to lock him up and with the cap going up it won't be too bad.

    I like Dame a lot, buuuut I think it's a stretch to say he's a top 5 PG.

    He's 2nd tier for sure, but he's 24 and improving yearly. Considering his impact off the floor and our apparent difficulty in drawing free agents, Dame getting maxed out was a foregone conclusion.

    Look at Steve Nash & Jason Kidd. Neither one could guard a chair either.

    Oh, absolutely. But the fact remains that he's second tier - that's all I was getting at.

    And neither of them retired a champion either. No rings. (Playing devil's advocate. Not worried about Dame in the least. :) )

    So LMA is gone. We can only give one 5 year per team. Damian just got it.

    Actually I don't think that's true, since Dame's contract starts next summer.
