    Harris for Miller straight up works under the cap.

    Not in this article. Portland is interested in Harris, but Denver wants Batum. Maybe a package of Miller/Camby and a pick?

    If they want Batum, it will cost them Favors. Whether they'll do it or not is up to them.

    In a bizarro way flipping Harris to us for Miller will help the Nuggets out in the long term from a salary perspective, but I just can't see them swallowing the idea of helping out a division rival. I'll frankly be shocked if we get him.

    Two teams and a roster size of five, correct?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I really don't think there's some emotional investment in GMs to "not help a division rival." I think they're largely focused on their own fortunes. If they felt a deal would harm them by helping a division rival, that's one thing...but if Denver does this deal, they're ending their competitiveness for the short-term, so I doubt they much care about how good Portland is. What do they care whether Portland or Utah is on top when they're not in it? For that matter, what do they care whether Portland or LA or San Antonio (the latter two not divisional foes) are doing well, during a non-competitive cycle for them?

    I'm not even a huge Batum lover, but it doesn't seem like Favors is much more special than Batum.

    You would just toss Batum in with Miller for Harris? I didn't say it was fair, but I don't think Batum is filler.

    Favors is going to be an absolute stud. Book it.

    True enough...but there is about 3" and 50lbs more of him!

    When your GF said size doesn't matter - she was just being kind. :devilwink:

    If the Blazers could somehow get Favors, would you start Aldridge at center with Favors at the four?

    Yeah. There really is no big dominating C's in the league outside of Dwight. I think Aldridge can hang with just about any other Center really.

    Favors and Aldridge could turn into the most dominating front court in the league.

    This year, doesn't seem like Favors is ready. Next year, maybe so.

    He's still really raw, but I think when he puts it all together he's going to be like Amare[video=youtube;99Od-U5IF4s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99Od-U5IF4s[/video]
