    This thread is pathetic.

    This place is starting to become unbearable.

    I agree about this thread. Maybe you should leave.

    Look at those games and tell me he's playing well...

    Outside of

    March 4th against Charlotte - 23 points 8-16 shooting, 14 boards, 5 assists

    and

    March 8th against SA - 26 points 12-18 shooting, 5 boards, 2 assists

    He's hardly playing like an All-Star. He only had 2 games out of 9 where he went for 10 boards or more, and his shooting has been sub-par.

    7-16 shooting
    6-19 shooting
    11-24 shooting
    2-13 shooting

    I agree that he is playing at a lower level lately.

    I posted on here that I don't watch college ball anymore and didn't know who he was until he was drafted. WHat was your point here?

    Dalembert is a very above average defensive minded center that can be had with free cap space (6 mil). He would play 25 minutes per game and is easy to slide as a reserve when Leonard develops.

    If we trade Aldridge for a center, we are not only trading Aldridge, but most likely getting rid of Leonard too. Keep that in mind. He won't want to be a back up forever.

    Not to sound callous, but it doesn't matter what Leonard wants. He's under contract and plays for the team in whichever capacity we need.

    Dalembert is the "great" defensive center you're going forward with? For how long? He's a stop gap at best. I was hoping for a longer term solution, Mags.

    His offensive game has been shit this season and its laughable that he gets a pass. There I said it. Still like him though.

    1) This isn't a thread about Batum, is it?

    2) Batum isn't an All-Star and our anointed hero of the realm.

    3) Batum is also playing with a bad wrist. Aldridge is healthy as far as I know.

    Lmao remember a player named jermaine oneal? Eventually the player will want out or complain. Sanders would be getting 35 minutes a game. No development for the prospect. What can we trade for Leonard?
