    I am sorry that both your favorite team and your country are falling apart, but living in fantasy land won't change things.

    LMA would definitely piss off Dwight, he won't shoot the corner 3 and will command the ball way to much. Him or Love will probably require Dmo to be moved. But Love is the better fit if he remains healthy. Can go from playing in the post to being more of a rebound put back guy with 3 point shooting...

    Your statement sounds r****ded. Coming back down 3-1 from the team that beat the champs, not to mention missing 2 starters to injury. Yea we had a cakewalk to the WCF. :rolleyes:

    You might want to ease up. Saying we aren't closer than those teams and we were gifted a trip to the WCF, is one of silliest things I've ever seen. I'm not sure you even watched the post season.

    This is the same poster that says Trevor Ariza is garbage. Best not to take anything he says too seriously

    I had to give him a piece of my mind when he said Ariza was garbage.

    Why do you say that? The Rockets have a good shot at if they can convince Portland to do a trade. The Spurs really do not make sense because of their age. Once Ducan, Ginioblie, and Parker leave they will be in rebuild mode. I do not care if they can give the team to LMA.

    Not any closer than Dallas? The Rockets beat the Mavs like an ugly stepchild.

    Haa... this guy tried to make fun of someone, but in doing so, he just made himself seem stupid. **Insert Nelson Muntz's Laugh**

    LaMarcus Aldridge, do you still feel the Spurs are the leader? Lakers move to the top?

    Aldridge, if you look at the 9 years, you're right. If you look at the time since Olshey has taken over as GM and Stotts as coach, they've won 50+ games, an all-star, a second maybe even first-team All-NBA in there. His success level has grown under this regime. They brought in Lillard & Lopez. The regime in Portland, he's had unprecedented success. Teams he'll look hardest at, Spurs are still at the top of the list. Lakers are in contention. I don't know if Russell makes a difference. If he goes to LA, it's because he wants to go to LA. People think he's out of Portland. I don't buy that. They're still very much in this. They can give him a 5th year and an extra $27M that these other teams can't do. He'll be roughly 34 years old by then. Is his next deal starting at $27M? Probably not. There will be a moment of truth there. Do I want to give that money up? Do I have a better chance of winning long term somewhere else? Portland is making interesting deals here with or without Aldridge. If he stays, then you're looking at re-signing Wes, possibly Lopez or Tyson Chandler. I wouldn't count the Blazers out in this one.
