    Oh Olshey LOVES Bledsoe, fyi

    If his knees check 0ut, I'd love that. He can guard SGs

    They would also know that Aldridge doesn't want to just make the playoffs or he would have signed with the Blazers the moment he could. They are trying to design packages that show him they can win with him

    He is 6'1" though... We'd have the midget squad back-court and the leagues largest front-court lol

    I think Aldridge just wants to be 'The Guy' and be comfortable. That's why I think the Spurs wont land him. Mavs and Suns are those type of teams though.

    Bled is a terrific defender. He's not tall, but has ridiculously long arms. Suns viewed him as a SG with Dragic when they first got him.

    Imagine Bledsoe and Lillard offensively. I know defense will be an issue but Bledsoe is a tough defender.

    I mean I guess if his knees were good it's worth a shot. But we better be getting a pick back also. I know Bledsoe is called mini-LeBron, he is one hell of an attacker, just never truly paid attention to his defense.

    Better chance LA goes to the Lakers than Phoenix FAMS.

    And toss in a Morris twin for good measure.

    Dame/Bled/Aminu/Morris/Monroe?

    With CJ/Henderson/Leonard/Plums off the bench. And get some picks for next year

    That's a playoff team

    Because Lillard is "the guy" and there can only be one "the guy."

    He changed his mind. Have you ever changed yours?

    Because Lillard wants to be 'The Guy' too. Honestly we would be a better team with Dame as the leader. Teams take after their leader.

    Who knows. Maybe it's personal, maybe he hates the winter weather, maybe he doesn't feel like the owner/management/coach is the right one(s) to put a championship caliber team together.

    Shit happens.
