    Probably not. I may have not been fully on board with the Hawes signing last night, but after sleeping it over, it would be a fine get. Only thing it costs is cap room and no players.

    at first I said no but as much as I like Rolo his contract expires after next year and we could have cap issues with him and Monroe, so I'd have to seriously consider including him in a deal "if" there was one, but I really do not think Detroit would want him and I really do not think the Blazers are after him

    They would take him, and laugh all the way to the bank.

    I think it wouldn't be a big deal for Allen if we are contending. But it's moot because only way we get Monroe is giving up Rolo or batum. I disagree with either one.

    Aldridge played the best basketball of his career alongside Lopez. Why mess that up?

    I would easily give Batum. A low post threat would make our shooters great

    Neither. And I think it's silly that people think we would - or would have to - to get Monroe.
    Teams losing RFAs are not in the driver's seat - they take what they can get, not what they want. Batum has more value than Monroe - so if it's a "package" trade, it'd be DET building a package around Monroe, not us building a package around Nic.

    Detroit is in the drivers seat in that we can't offer him outright. Other teams can though

    Yes - other teams can. And that's what gives all other teams power over DET. Sounds like DET doesn't want to pay Monroe market value - so they've essentially already lost him. Monroe can say "I'm gonna go sign with CLE for the max, or you can take whatever POR wants to give you and S&T me to them." It all comes down to what Greg wants to do - unless DET decides they're going to match. But DET is not in a position to ask for the world.

    At this point Hawes is what we hope Leonard turns into.
