    Theres no way the Suns trade us Bledsoe, especially with him IN THE RECRUITING MEETING. They would dump one of the Morris twins and Danny Grangers contract on the 76ers for a draft pick or something.

    It's been so unusually quiet on the Monroe front makes me wonder if we have an agreement with him if Aldridge returns. But without Aldridge he goes to another team.

    Or maybe San Antonio is Monroes first choice but us or another team is his second. Just seems like he's waiting.

    Even if aldridge leaves I feel like Portland is a good situation for him, but you're probably right he's most likely waiting on aldridge.

    Does anybody think we are a realistic chance to sign Monroe if LMA is gone?
    Honest question.

    We didn't get a commitment out of him today. I think he is waiting for NY to tender an offer and that won't happen until they meet with LA and he turns them down.

    Yes. We'd still give him a better chance to win than LA/NY and maybe even MIL.

    I have to think Monroe would've preferred to play with LMA, one of the best big man in the league. Monroe also said he wants to win, and with LMA gone, the Blazers aren't going to win as many games. Nevertheless, if the reports are true that our only competition for his services are the Knicks, Lakers, Celtics and Bucks, I suppose our situation would look the best. So hopefully, Monroe chooses us. We sorely need him, since LMA is apparently pulling a Benedict Arnold.

    It would be a disaster if Monroe and Aldridge signed with NY

    Monroe wants to win. Milwaukie is probably our biggest threat, but i think he ends up here. Hos agent ows us a solid and will push him this way. Plus if and when LA leaves look for us to trade for Hibbert or something to pair with Monroe.

    @SportsWhispers: It's down to the Knicks, Blazers and Bucks for Greg Monroe. ESPN says the Lakers are out

    Stuff is really making me wonder what Neil told Monroe about Aldridge. The question would certainly have come up
