    I was putting him in there b/c he's a 6M anchor on their cap for the next few years and would have to be included on their side if we're getting anything remotely good, like Winslow, Whiteside or picks.

    Worth it, imo.

    Chalmers really doesn't fit the Olshey mold. And you're forgetting TIM FRAZIER!!!!!!!!!!

    He's already taking a discount by not re-signing with the Blazers.

    We shouldn't have to take on a McRoberts to also get Winslow. If they had any sort of leverage, sure. But they're well over the cap, and would NEED a S&T.

    I think it's just possible. Riley could say they got Aldridge for the #10 pick in the draft. Also: "at #9, the Hornets took Frank Kaminsky. At #10, we got LAMARCUS FUCKING ALDRIDGE!"

    True, but he's a PG, and he plays defense, so I think Neil would be OK with him.

    You're right. What I meant was, "we need a competent backup PG". :ghoti:

    S&Ts no longer get a player more money or years.

    Even in a sign and trade. The extra year can't be used in a sign and trade

    Winslow and Whiteside won't work - not enough salary.
