    It's sarcasm. I'd still take Gay in a trade if we got DMC.

    I'm with ya, man. As long as our out-going package consists of Aminu/Meyers/Turner/Pick (sub Crabbe for Turner if we have to). Taking back Gay would be a concession on our part - not something we want but something we do to make the deal more enticing to SAC.

    The Blazers need a 3rd scorer and Rudy Gay would be a great 3rd option. Right now it's supposed to be Crabbe, Harkless or Aminu and I don't see it!

    Our 3rd scorer is Layman, duh.

    By next year this might actually be true. At least his form is sweet on his deep ball.

    Either Ed or Meyers is getting moved. Count on it.

    And possibly a wing as well.

    I'd do a Aminu for a 2nd round pick Top 55 protected.

    Everytime he has the ball in his hands you know it's not going to end well.

    Meyers isn't going to have any trade value if he's still playing like crap, that contract isn't that much with the new CBA, but it's still looking bad right now in the very early season.

    Everyone knows he can shoot and body up traditional Cs. At $10M there's value in him.

    What's the deal with newly signed FA's trade date being 12/14, but re-signed RFA's being 1/14? We gotta wait a whole 'nother month before we can freely trade our players.

    I cannot decide which hole in our line up is bigger - center or power forward. We probably need both.

    BTW I might get murdered for this if grudges in NBA are similar to European football, but if Aldridge became available like rumored a couple of weeks ago, would you take him back for a reasonable package we could put together? Must say that coming from Europe and not having consistent touch with NBA fans, I am not sure how that works.

    I think our center position would be fine, if we had a really good power forward. I think Plumlee/Leonard/Ezeli (eventually) would be totally serviceable if we had the right guy at the four.

    Yeah but I don't think we are keeping Plumlee but if Ezeli was fit, he would suffice. Defense will improve greatly when he is back IMO.

    At PF there is a huge hole. Vonleh would be a good option now but he's still a couple of years away in terms of development.

    Aminu + Davis/Plumlee + maybe Crabbe for Millsap would work and would leave money in the bank to extend him next years. The doubt I have is extending a 32-year old but by the time he is done, Noah will be ready. Terrific defender, good shooter, consistent

    Millsap is going to get max money.... and that's some kind of ridiculous number like $130+ million. Totally not worth it for a guy that age.

    I watched him against the Lakers last night, just because his name keeps popping up in this forum. He is not the same player he once was. Still a solid Vet, but I can't possibly believe he is the answer to our problems. I would rather roll with Vonleh.
