    Denny, we are trading 3 starters (one clutch wing and all star PF). Leonard has two more years and should be at least at gibsons level. You even said you gotta give a little to get a little.

    Noah is awesome on D, but his offense is nothing special. Gibson is just a role player. The pick must be included

    That's the report that came out a day or two ago. Didn't Aldridge tweet denying that he met in Vegas because he was in Dallas?

    Semi-rebuilding - Noah makes no sense.

    You do realize he's 5 months older than LMA, right? Not a big difference but still doesn't do much for this team long-term when you consider the cornerstone is 23

    Yep, but many in here said that his agent could have been there.

    No deal.

    We're done.

    Nothing more to talk about. I think you let LMA walk and throw your cap space at Kevin Love like someone suggested earlier.

    That would make his "SMH" tweet pretty disingenuous, no?

    Agree that Noah MIGHT be a better fit in our reload than Aldridge despite his age. While they are comparable players in terms of talent and impact, Aldridge is a primary scorer type while Noah is a stud defender role player type. We would be building our offense around Lillard, CJ, Batum, and next year's draft while having a defensive anchor to keep us competitive. And Noah has a ton of good years left.

    Mirotic & the CHA pick are where the REAL value is at for LA in a deal....

    Having Boozer expire in 2015 with other contracts...has some value for POR...Having Deng expire next year, not so much....

    Gibson, has some value b\c he could step in and help man the PF position with T-Rob

    and Snell, Teague, Butler...are all young players with some potential....

    1 or 2 from that group would make sense IMO....

    Boozer for the salary, some value...Mirotic & CHA pick for a large chunk of the value and 1 or 2 of Gibson, Snell, Teague or Butler to make up the difference....(my preference would be for Snell and\or Teague)....

    CHI has to weigh the chance to compete now (with LA) vs the uncertainty of later with Mirotic, whatever player CHA pick turns out to be and growth of Snell or Teague...Bird in hand...

    Probably the best deal possible. Better if there was a way to trade LMA to a team for the cap space and a pick, but I'm being greedy. I wonder how Love would feel about being back in the PNW.

    You're severely undervaluing the draft pick. Cleveland offered #1 and #19 in a weak draft. That's the market for LMA. I mean, you can put your house on the market for $100M but if nobody makes you a $100M offer, it ain't worth that much.

    Lee or bogut and Barnes or klay is better than the Cleveland offer.

    And we didn't have to trade two other players (Matthews as a starter and Leonard as a center prospect).

    Bulls writer suggested Deng and the Charlotte pick. That's your pick and a big contract off the books after this season.

    If it never happened then the Haynes report was patently erroneous. Such a big scoop, too...
