    All I'm saying is, you are comparing him to Luis Scola. I think he is ever bit as good as LA. Just playing on a team where its not expected if of him.

    his ORBs were down because of his role in the offense. His DRB% this season would be the 3rd highest of Aldridge's career, and his TRB% this season is right around LA's career average. Yes he only scored 16 ppg. On 12 shots. LA had 23 on 20. It's about role on the team. Way, WAY closer to Aldridge than Scola. That's just ridiculous.

    Bosh is tremendous. I would take LA ahead of him, but Scola shouldn't even be in that conversation.

    Its assumed if the Cavs get LeBron they're trading away Wiggins for KLove or a similar all-star. Love's even said he would resign in Cleveland if LeBron was there.

    Wow! That would be a power play by the Cavs.

    Rockets would still have Parsons and Beverly. Parsons cap hold is small until they match his contract. Rockets would trade everyone else on the roster except Dwight and Harden. That's a damn good starting 5 though.

    Yes I agree. They might be the favorites in the west.

    Could you imagine LA playing 82 games at center alongside small forwards?

    Yeah that would suck. I agree that he is a way better fit with Houston than Carmelo.

    Bosh in Houston would suck. He's exactly what they need to get over the hump

    LBJ is a huge SF, he almost counts as a PF.

    Won't happen because LA will never look to take threes. No matter how many times it wins a playoff series...

    Yes LeBron is the best basketball player on the planet. But they often played Battier at PF with Bosh at Center guarding the more physical big man. We've seen how improved Aldridge has been with a physical center able to take some of the load but the years of Bosh being the only big man has really hurt his performance. If you put him next to Dwight Howard none of that matters. That's a damn good starting lineup and the pieces fit so much better than trying to put Melo alongside Parsons and Harden.

    So LeBron has a big meeting with Pat Riley in 2 or 3 days. Brian Windhorst was on Sportscenter saying how Riley is going into the meeting thinking he'll have to sell LeBron on why he should return to Miami.

    Brian thinks LeBron is going into the meeting to tell Riley he is leaving Miami.

    The decision has already been made. This just gives the media more shit to talk about. Or as I like to call it, more time for me not to listen to them.

    Not what I meant from a dynamic sense. I just think the two could have better chemistry upfront.
