    So say we get this guy and LMA returns (doubt it) is that a good frontline? I heard Monroe's defense is not that good..

    Not good at PF. His defense at center is a +5 in PER.

    Could you imagine if we were able to get Monroe, then Aldridge and Matthews take less for 1 year to make contracts work? I know it's a dream, but I'm Mr. Rose Colored glasses yo!

    Not sure either. But according to reports, Paul is a smart guy who really knows his stuff, knows what he wants, and asks tough, insightful questions.

    Also, it's as much an interview for Monroe as it is Monroe interviewing the Blazers. As it should be. If Paul doesn't come away thinking Monroe is our guy, Monroe isn't our guy.

    David Falk and his comments after the Hibbert offer sheet leads me to believe this one is in the bag.

    This is how I feel every morning when I wake up knowing I'm going to stop by and see Mrs. HCP.

    So if we sign Aminu and Monroe, what's the next step? If Aldridge doesn't re-sign, who do we go after next?

    We will go after a PF. LA or Love.

    Then we deal Kaman for a little backcourt depth.

    Falk was extremely complimentary about the Blazers after the Hibbert negotiations and Indy matching. Said it was a pleasure and he wouldn't forget this in future negotiations.

    But in all seriousness... They would be better off because they would still be able to retain their bird rights. Taking a 1 year cut could make them a helluva lot more money next summer.

    5 years 90 mil for Matthews and 5 years 130 mil for Aldridge, while playing with a stacked team of Dame, Henderson, Aminu, Monroe, Noah, CJ, Leonard, Pat would be extremely tempting

    DeRozan! Supposedly Toronto is trying to move him to clear cap space. He doesn't even make that much.

    Not possible. We have to renounce Matthews to have the cap space to sign Aminu and Monroe while retaining Aldridge.

    Unless they sign for less first like SAS may do to get Aldridge. Then the cap hold drops
