    Why couldn't he slide in the 4 position like he's always wanted to? Or trade CJ for a 4 and he can patrol between the 4 and the 5.

    LMA if there wasn't a risk he could drop dead on the court.

    (choking sound) Love. Even before his brief retirement LMA wasn't exactly setting the league on fire.

    I know this much, he'd be the best true PF we have on the roster. RoCo is a SF. But has had to play the 4 for us.

    And Love is? Either one would be a decent addition to the bench unit.

    Now THAT!, would be the ultimate dagger in the back. A majorly uncool move.

    Can Zeller play the 4? Aldridge is too old and slow for the 4 now. We could definitely use his size though.

    He's just no longer a 4. Hasn't been for a few years now.

    Because he's gotten slower and the NBAs gotten quicker.

    I don't think this is a good fit. Even setting aside health concerns, why would he be interested in coming back to a mid-tier Blazers team?

    And why would we want to clog our bench with an old mid-range jump shooting big man? I don't think he does anything especially well at this point and I don't see him suddenly getting better than he was for San Antonio last year.

    agree...we need more young athletes to compliment the older guys we have.

    And RoCo got backed down by the best PF in the game , cause he's too small. He gave it all he had, but doesn't have the size to defend the best of that position. He's a SF.

    There is literally zero chance he's not going to the Nets or the Fakers.

    True. We need more size at the 4. It ain't Aldridge though.
