    Much rather have Drummond. I'm reallt down on Monroe because his defense is horrible and he hasnt shown any real improvement in that area. He also is going to get paid a ton next season. If we got monroe I'd use him as trade bait later.

    If it's not Drummond, then no deal.

    That deal would make no sense for Detroit.

    They're just saying that to attract Howard.

    Think ahead about 7 months to the trade deadline. At that point it's going to become clear that LMA is going to leave for when his contract runs out. Are the deals for him likely to get better or worse at that point? The team's that will be chasing him the hardest will be those looking for a playoff boost, which means their compensation will be mostly late first round draft picks and young players that aren't pivotal to their success (everybody else will be looking to tank or jettison money)

    So is Monroe a great prize alone? Hmmm ... I dunno, maybe not, but he's still young and he's got an interesting skill-set, but if you paired him up with an unprotected (likely) lottery pick in what many think will be a very good draft I'd say that's a pretty decent haul for a player you are about to lose any leverage over.

    Oh I understand what you are trying to say; but I'd rather do a straight up swap for Horford; maybe even get a pick out of it. I just don't want Monroe because his defense is just terrible.

    If this is a rebuild, then adding Horford just doesn't make much sense to me. The idea is to add guys on their rookie scale deals to keep your cap number low and turn one asset into multiple. That trade to me is almost a straight wash and I don't see how the Hawks would consent to adding a pick.

    There is absolutely no reason ATL would do Horford for LMA.
    It makes no sense, for either team really.

    Still think we should wait for them to strike out, then offer Batum Meyers and Barton for Horford.

    Poor Houston. They are going to have to wait forever for Howard to make his decision.

    I value two way players. But if you have a one way player, he better be elite at either offense or defense, or he'll hurt more than help.

    BTW, 82games.com says Boozer was a 18.1 PER at PF and opposing PFs had a 14.7 PER against. He also had 2nd most defensive win shares on the Bulls team. So maybe Thibs is working his magic with him.

    If I thought my C position was set and had a need at PF or PG, I might actually go after a guy who fills the need.

    Perhaps part of why the LMA to GS rumors seemingly came back out yesterday? Dwight, Steph, and LMA? Add in that they'd still have Lee or Bogut and Thompson or Barnes.

    If Lebron James was interested in coming to the Blazers, but we are "set' because we have Batum, I don't purse a second tier SG or C, I purse LeBron fucking James.

    C'mon dude.

    Just out of boredom and curiosity what moves would we have to make to have room for LBJ and still keep LMA and Dame?

    I'd want Bogut, Thompson AND Barnes.

    They can go fuck themselves.

    They dont even have caproom for Dwight, I do not believe.
