    League source: three veterans who are candidates to be in deals leading up to, or during NBA draft are the Bulls'

    Luol Deng, Pacers' Danny Granger and Blazers' Lamarcus Aldridge. The Cavs apparently have interest in Deng and he certainly would be a terrific role model and leader-by-example for a young squad; the Cavs also have a gaping hole at that position and if they have interest in vying for a playoff spot next season, a rookie out of this draft isn't going to move them appreciably closer. That said, there is skepticism that the Cavs are actually serious about parting with the No. 1 pick because they keep asking for assets as if it were the first pick in next year's draft.

    Trailblazers could use Asik. Resign Hickson and put him at PF next to Asik at C. They'll need more offense then though. And clearly don't need Lin. Other than 3 team trade, not sure what else Rockets could offer.

    Asik, TJones, future pick for LMA?

    In any case, adding Dwight and LMA this offseason while keeping Harden and Parsons would be unbelievable.

    So after signing Dwight, we make a play for LMA?

    Portland is desperate at Center. Could move Hickson to PF. A combination of Asik, T Rob, T Jones or Draft pick might be able to get it done.

    Playing with the assumption that we sign Dwight outright, what would a reasonable offer be to attain LMA?

    Would asik, Parsons, jones and our first round pick for the next 30 years for Aldridge work?

    May be my bias towards Asik, but I don't want to see him go to make room for LMA.

    No. Other teams can easily trump that offer.

    I love Aldridge. If he is all we get in the offseason it would greatly improve the team. Howard and Aldridge would be a killer haul. We would have one of the best front lines in the league.
