    Meyers/Ezeli/Turner for Aldridge/Green.

    And then turn around and try to trade Crabbe/picks for George.

    IF you could do it:

    Dame
    CJ
    George
    Aldridge
    Nurk

    Would be a championship team. That's a team that could beat Golden State. And you could still have a pretty decent bench.

    There is only one ball though and I think LaMarcus isn't an ideal PF for a lineup that consisted of 3 ball dominant wings/guards.

    If he was a Robin before, would he be Bat Girl now?

    He'll have to understand that we're retiring Rick Adelman's number 12 jersey as well

    No way in hell Neil trades to get LMA back. Neil bashed him pretty good after he bolted for SA and I didnt get the impression that LMA and Damian are very fond of each other.

    The Warriors were able to make it work. So either he figures it out, or you dump him. Losing Meyers/Ezeli/Turner wouldn't really be a big loss, especially if you get Danny Green as well.

    We already had a LMA trade thread. Why start a new one?

    Lebron is playing for Dan Gilbert.

    It could happen. Cj seems on board. I can't see dame outright rejecting it.

    I wish we could have traded Aldridge back in 2015--for Rasheed Wallace in 2001 or so. Just as Rasheed Wallace was ahead of his time and would fit perfectly in this era, Aldridge was too late for his time and would have fit much better in the 1990s or 2000s, when positional defense mattered much more than defending in space and on switches and when high-usage mid-range jumper heavy offense was what teams were looking for.

    LaMarcus isn't Draymond Green, we would get killed when teams went small because of LA.

    The Warriors made it work because they're all great passers and all care more about finding the best shot than taking the shot themselves, despite being great shot-makers. Does that sound much like Aldridge? Honestly, it doesn't really sound like anyone on the Blazers except maybe Lillard.

    Considering the Blazers have 2 Alpha males in Dame and Nurk... 1 Omega male in CJ, having a Beta cuck like LA just might work although it would undoubtedly be too much testosterone for Aldridge to cope with.
