    What we have now is amazing enough, but the idea of adding LMA... whoa Nelly!

    Interesting, so has there been any moment to get this done, any rumors of a deal yet, or just speculation on our part?

    Once he starts telling the Blazers I aint re-signing and Houston is my team of choice Asik will start to look mighty fine to the Blazers brass.

    LaMarcus Aldridge's trade would be perfect timing for Houston Rockets. Houston is trying to win now. Aldridge is 28 years old and is entering his prime just like Dwight Howard. Harden+lin on the backcourt will do wonders with Aldridge and Howard.

    I personally want to see a TMac return. But I know it is highly unlikely. I'd really like a retro Rockets lineup. Lin+Harden+TMAc+Aldridge+Howard. lol. Just throwing things out there. This could be the dream Rockets team, at least mine.

    I love t-mac too but he can't contribute as a starter.

    Doesn't make sense. Pairing like Lebron/Wade and Westbrook/Durant are able to share, and Howard/Hardin can't? Wade's lowest career shots per game is higher than Dwight's highest, if you exclude Wade's rookie year.

    we would have his bird rights so yes. I'm sure Les will be okay with paying the lux tax if our team was "pg", jh, cp, LMA, DH

    If I am portland I would want Asik AND Parsons. Dont be surprised to see Parsons traded y'all. I doubt portland will want Lin because they already have lillard.

    As mentioned earlier in this thread, CP was our main recruiter for Dwight. He isn't going anywhere.

    Parsons is better than Batum IMO. And they can easily play together if Parsons gets to portland.Parsons can play the 2, 3 or 4.

    That doesnt mean he isn't going anywhere. The NBA is a business.

    Unless Portland wants us to take on Batums contract(no chance in hell)Parsons is here to stay.

    I'm more than happy to trade for LMA if all it takes is Asik, DMO, a couple picks and all euro stash.

    Just wondering, any Llull to rockets rumours yet? Weird that Rox purchase his rights for 2.5m but is not more aggresive in bringing him over.

    Parsons contract and level of play make him pretty much untouchable.

    we have to either trade lin for a very attractive draft pick to package with asik

    or

    hope that jones or DMO look really good at the beginning of the season so one of them can go to Portland with asik

    Aldridge has an automatic jumper and crazy range. The idea that lanes somehow close when you have skilled big men is highly overblown esp when those big men are not post players.
