So, trade LMA for a draft pick, and then use the cap space to offer another All-Star max money? Is that how this works? Or use the cap space to get...
Great. So Parker is a tweener. That always ends well...
Monroe is a RFA.
You also need to add in Portland's lottery pick in 2015 after the team wins 32 games with rookies and role players.
LMA also wants to win. Is Cleveland minus everyone except Irving and Bennett a better team than Portland? Also, even in hypothetical trade world,...
I mean right now. None of the rookies can step in and carry the team like LMA.
Yes, that was my point. He's not a "poor man's Cliff." Take a look at the playoff numbers from that season, too. Also, why would Cleveland make...
If you're being serious, this is your dumbest post yet.
None of the three you listed are franchise players at the level of a Blake Griffin/Anthony Davis/LMA, let alone a James or a Durant.
Better for what? Your psyche, so you won't have to post 1000x a season about how LMA sucks?
So where do Wiggins and Anthony fit in to Lillard moving to SG? Neither are PGs. As for the Aussie guard, who are you talking about? The...
You said Splitter "owned" LMA. I was merely posting the stats from that series. Nothing about an "eye test" was in the conversation.
Except Wiggins isn't 6'10", or nearly as good as Durant in terms of creating his own shot.
Right, but that wasn't being discussed. In the scenario I was responding to, LMA is traded to the Lakers, cap space is cleared, and a player who at...
What are you going to get for Robinson? His draft position makes his rookie deal difficult to trade, and signing Jordan Hill to the full MLE means...
Second problem is why would Hawes take the MLE and also agree to play 18 mpg off the bench?
I'd rather keep Thomas Robinson and have him play 15-20 mpg than blowing the entire MLE Jordan Hill, who IMO isn't as athletic or energetic as...
Avery Bradley looked awesome in the playoffs this year. I give him that. Will he become the next Ramon Sessions, who was lusted after on this board...
Williams is a realistic idea, and may be the type of veteran who moves the Blazers closer to the Spurs. The ideas for Lowry/Gortat/Deng and even...
Probably. As I said, it would be a dream scenario for me as an armchair GM, because I think Nic has a lot of value around the league.
