Phoenix doesn't have the cap space. They would have to give up Bledsoe just to get LMA. And then how is that situation better than Portland again?
LOL That team might be allergic to rebounding. Dirk was never really good at it, now can't and Hibbert goes through stretches where he is lucky to nag 5.
The fact that the rockets haven't signed anyone(not even our own free agents) tells me Morey really thinks he has a chance at Lamarcus. We haven't even sat down without anyone else besides brewer. We still in this. The Spurs have no center.
Won't be an issue. I am sure they'd trade Bledsoe to Cavs for Haywood and reunite with the Rich Paul crew. LOL

Lol @ the Suns talk. Even if he somehow decided to go there they won't be anything close to contenders. Maybe 7-8 seed but that's it.
Yes, that will be worse unless Durant handles it how he handled his OKC extension. By just announcing it on twitter and moving on. Definitely. But the reason we have to wait so long is because players have to go and visit this team and that team...then sleep on it...visit 2 more teams...sleep on it...Dwight really dragged it out. IIRC he went on a vacation in the middle of FA. I'd like to think back before FA became this big deal players had 2-3 teams they considered. Maybe talked to their inner circle about it..picked a team and it was announced ESPN. LMA is not holding up the entire league like Lebron did or like Durant will should he decide to play the role hot single woman next year...but poor Greg Monroe lol.
I would say Middleton is not in the same realm as ariza defensively, demarre isn't significantly better offensively...I like Green. Aminu is actually the guy I really like out of that list, but that is just my observation. He'll be great next to Damian along with Plumlee, Leonard, Noah Vonleh, Cj McCollum. Dallas actually wasn't too great of a fit for him but got great experience and knowledge from Carlisle
It is always the case of us feeling like a player of LMA's caliber has the best chance to win a ring here. It is true but what drives these guys to sign elsewhere? I mean LMA on this squad instantly puts us at #1 in the West.
Lma and dj are right now holding monroe rolo and harris. And quite possibly few trades like what i believe boston has arranged with houston.
Demarre is much better offensively. He shoots nearly 50% from the floor, better from 3, etc. All three of those guys are more efficient on offense.
