Al Jefferson is now 30 years old...is there any chance that Portland could trade Kaman's contract and sign Jefferson to a 4 years/$45mill to play 30ish minutes off the bench??? With a combined 96 minutes at pf/c, if Aldridge comes back and plays 33-35 mins at pf, Leonard plays 10-15 mins at pf and 5 at c, Jefferson playing 27-30 mins at C, and a starting c that plays defense playing 20ish mins, and re-signing Freeland to play occasionally when someone is hurt That would be a strong frontcourt rotation. I think that any cheap starting c that can play defense and not demand touches can thrive next to Aldridge. Plus with Leonard and Jefferson playing, Jefferson will do most of the scoring with McCollum in the 2nd unit and Leonard can worry about taking open 3s. I would rather not re-sign Lopez if he commands more than $10mill and go after Jefferson and go after someone like Seraphin or Pachulia to start.
Every smidgeon of it can be traced directly back to Quick's bullshit quote. I'm flabbergasted at how thoroughly he has owned so many posters, not to mention the media types...
