Does everyone remember how bad we looked without him on the floor? Has everyone forgotten that a HUGE factor in Dame's great rookie play is that he got to play alongside an All-Star PF?
This makes a lot of sense. I think the pro-trade people think we won't be good enough to keep LMA. I say ride it out, and trade him later if he demands a trade or if it becomes clear he is going to leave. If he still wants to be a Blazer (now), keep him.
I can't wait for Aldridge to come out next season. I suspect he will work inside and dominate with an entire summer to work on bulk and polishing his moves off the block. There will be a ton of bumps!
I'd like him to work on rolling in the PnR more. To often its a PnP because he is open. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
He blew out his knee again and is home in bed all week recovering. That is no joke, it really did happen. He's basically a troll who gets paid to troll, and he has the next 5 days to troll Duck and Blazer fans.
I think they are going to use that for the center we pick up. Aldridge's "block" game is almost unstoppable now. With more work, he will be the strong-side scorer. That's going to help Lillard since he loves driving to the weak-side.
Love to see LA in the post more but I think he is always going to take about 40% of his shots at that 18f spot. He gets tired of banging and shoots that shot a little to often and teams will give it to him all day long. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Unless you're Shaq, nobody has the body to play 38 mpg and bang in the post as a primary scoring option. Not even Dwight Howard, who is seeing his body break down already.
I've never been against trading Aldridge, but it has to be a trade that makes sense. If he can play like he did at the end of this season, I don't think there's a trade that would make sense.
So if the Indiana Pacers called up and said Hibbert and George for Aldridge, you would say no? (not saying it would happen, but making a point)
LMA package for Monroe and their pick Package both top 10 picks for DMC Lillard/Batum/Monroe/DMC -- this core is n'awesome.
He's in love with Cousins. If Fez could have had his way, we'd have a lineup with Nolan Smith, Waiters, Batum, Hickson, and Cousins. Sounds like a winner to me.
So Sac would take our pick and #7 for DMC.......Hmm right now that is projected to be Zeller in a few mock drafts. Seems like they would then take #10 and Leonard as well. I wouldn't mind DMC if we kept LMA. The more Vets around him the better IMO.
