    Not cheap. The target, imo, would be Monroe. Obviously he's not on the same level as LA, but he's more than adequate.

    I have to agree, if LMA really gets paid 127 mil for 5 yrs that IMO is simply way too much, especially for a guy who will be on the north side of 30 for that deal. Look how many guys who have signed big deals at similar ages and I can show you some albatross contracts. Yeah "maybe" his skills stay the same and he does not get hurt, but he is not "good enough" IMO to take that risk.

    He won't be on the north side of 30. In fact, he will probably sign the contract before he turns 30. His birthday is July 19th. He's turning 29 this summer and then 30 next summer.

    Well you got rid of Leonar_, so it's good for me.

    Although someone told me that during the playoffs, Leonar_ was a scout team Dwight Howard and killed everyone. Maybe they can convince him to grow a pair for real play?

    Great. So Parker is a tweener. That always ends well...

    So, trade LMA for a draft pick, and then use the cap space to offer another All-Star max money? Is that how this works? Or use the cap space to get a bunch of role players, and hope that in a few years the draft pick is an All-NBA type player?

    What does Leonard have to do with this? According to you, he's one of the worst players in the league. Suddenly he has trade value?

    Detroit said they won't re-sign him though.

    So, in some instances, the Blazers are taking 3 role players from one of the worst teams in the NBA (but not their best player), and a crapshoot #1 pick, for LMA, and then are hoping to sign a star player to a max deal using cap space?

    Which star free agent is going to want to come to Portland to play with a 3rd year PG (albeit a very good one), a rookie, and a bunch of role players?
