    Well, those are those tradable assets, so they either go big or go home. Why would they need like 4 wing guys that do the same thing?

    That's fine with me.

    Elite defender, elite rebounder - and he is only 21 years old.

    Has all the tools to have an elite offensive game.

    Hayward is above average.

    Lillard, Wes, Batum, Favors, Lopez

    McCollum, Crabbe, Hayward, T-Rob, Meyers

    Then you can package Batum/Meyers/Wes or whatever for a true all-star.

    The team is better with Klay/Barnes/Lee over just LMA.

    Just saying....

    Also, Houston fans right now are thinking they can get LMA if Dwight chooses Golden State. :lol:

    I fail to see what they have to offer though.

    It is, but if Iggy wants to play with Aldridge or D12, which is possible, then they'll have to make it happen. He had to make some demands on signing there for less money.

    Meyers Leonard is older than Derrick Favors - and, not true. Utah was expected to let Millsap and Al Jeff go BECAUSE they had faith in Kanter and Favors.

    I'm going on record if gs gives up all that talent to get Howard; this will back fire in their face

    The most rebounds he got last year was like 15. And he averaged less than 8...so it didn't happen all that much. This is just another guy blazer fans are inexplicably in love with for god knows whatever reason. the new ramon sessions perhaps.

    your vision sucks.

    Trading Wes and LMA at the same time might make sense if we're getting a young wing back.

    For instance, if we trade w/GSW for something like Bogut or Lee and Barnes or Thompson...

    don't get me wrong, I like Wes, but he's also potentially gone in 2 years. And he fits much better as a 3-and-D 4th or 5th option on a contending team than as our starting 2. :dunno:

    Golden State will send first-round picks in 2014 and 2017 to the Jazz, league sources tell Y! Sports.

    I said they still liked him, but he has not developed as much as they would have hoped. He is not an elite defender. His BB IQ is not high. He is foul prone. Not saying he sucks, just that he has a ways to go.

    He averaged 20 MPG... You know, because he was playing behind Millsap.

    2.6 BPG, 101 D RTG, DWS of 2.9, 5.7 block %, 2.0 steal %.

    But he isn't an elite defender? Those numbers are better than Chandler, Asik, Dwight. But he's not an elite defender? C'mon.

    Laker fans are already spinning they are better off with Bogut and either Klay/Barnes then they would have been with just Howard. And to be honest they may be right. At least based on last year. I don't want to find out if that is true. Hope he goes to Houston.

    You stated his RPG, I stated as to why the numbers were "low". 7 RPG and 2 BPG in 22 minutes isn't bad.
