    Having LMA turn LA down is as close to a pleasure I feel of him actually signing with us.

    Their tears, born of delusion and entitlement, are the sweetest.

    No we don't. Not without trading Kaman.

    Oh shit, I'm starting to get my hopes up. If we get a Monroe signing today he might know something...

    If we get Monroe and Aldridge, Monroe will have to be a S&T

    We can easily shed 1 mil in cap to grab Monroe

    Most likely, unless I'm messing up my numbers. The Aminu signing ate into our capspace. We're about 4 mil short, which fits Kaman perfectly.

    Monroe is signing with the Blazers.

    Then it's between us and the Spurs.

    Common LaMarcus, don't be a fool. This team Olshey is building around you is your best bet for success, legacy, and $$.

    They need to move ~4-5 million in salary.

    Which they picked up when they picked up Kaman's option.

    This tells me they already have a trade lined up for Kaman should LMA+Monroe commit.
