    Agreed. What a horrible idea.

    That's a good point. If we get Jordan, than you can bet Olshey saw something he liked in him. OTOH, if Olshey thought of him as overpaid then the discussion won't even get started. We can speculate all we want, but Olshey certainly has an opinion of Jordan's worth.

    He was GM when LAC signed him to the deal. Whether that means much, I dunno, but he was fine with matching the offer he got at the time.

    Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan and the #25 pick to Portland for Wes Mathews, JJ Hickson and the 10th pick?

    Trading picks with a S&T isn't very likely to happen ever. And I dunno why LAC would want Hickson.

    Well Hickson did show he can play center and the Clippers need to get better at 2nd chance points.

    he doesn't want to play C, and he's shown he sucks at defense at the C position.

    If we can get Jordan or McGee without giving much up, I wouldn't be opposed to it. If we could somehow get McGee and Iggy, plus re-sign Maynor, I would feel pretty good about our offseason.

    Lillard/Maynor
    Iggy/Matthews
    Batum/Claver
    Aldridge/Freeland
    McGee/Leonard

    That would be an awesome move! I don't think we have enough cap to get it done. Although maybe they'd take back freeland to help absorb some of the difference

    If we could get Iggy I would take back McGee in a heart beat. I wanted the Blazers to get Iggy a few season ago. Ya I agree that the Blazers or any other team wouldn't have to give much up to take Jordan back and that's way I think he will be a prime target this offseason.

    Don't see how we land Iggy, unless he's getting a MLE-ish deal

    And Iggy is going to want more than MLE if he opts out of his contract.

    It's refreshing to see a big man play defense, eh? LOL

    I've always been a fan of defensive big men.

    I was thinking about moving some salary in the deal, actually.

    Maybe see if Denver would bite on Freeland and Matthews for McGee and then sign Iggy/Manor with our cap space. I think Barton could take the backup shooting guard spot. We would just have to find a decent backup power forward.

    That lineup makes me sad. All smart moves but when I look at it, it doesn't look like a team that can contend.
