Aldridge is one of few PFs that actually got better. When talking about elite PFs probably Griffin is rising
Send him home. Trade him for Horford and Teague. Milsap can play next to him there, and Schroder will be a mini star as their starter.
I think we could get deandre Jordan Crawford reddick and their 1st round be and then we can send Crawford/Capela/clippers 1st and Pelicans first for Dragic. DeAndre/smith DMO/papa Ariza/brewer Harden/reddick Dragic/Bev
The series they lost you mean? The one that was so close a few FTs made would have made a difference? That one? DD
The one that we wouldn't have been in at all if Dwight wasn't dominating? In last year's playoffs, Harden was bad. Parsons was mediocre. Beverley was injuured. Jones got destroyed by Aldridge. Lin had his typical couple of good moments followed up by even more terrible moments. Asik's defense was decent but not great. DMo didn't even see the floor. McHale was clearly outcoached. Yes, Dwight wasn't perfect in that series. He missed some free throws. He had some terrible, terrible calls against him (like when Joel Freeland bearhugged him during game 1) Spoiler <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zYHBXqSbMbA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> But Dwight played a hell of a series. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have even been competitive.
I have wanted Horford on this team (to pair with Harden and Howard) for a long time. But Atlanta is looking way too good right now. They are, legitimately, one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. With how good of a start they have gotten off to, there is no way they would trade any of their main pieces. The same thing happened last season. I wanted LMA. There were rumors of him wanting out of Portland. Then they got off to a fantastic start (25-7 by the end of the year), and when that happened, they weren't going to trade any of their main players and it was enough to convince LMA to stay.
Yes it is possible to trade him, but you won't like what we'd be getting. Probably have to trade for Amare's expiring or Joe Johnson/D Will/Lopez.
I think Dwight is untradable because of his contract. I've been a big critic of Dwight's especially lately because I just don't get with his inconsistency and overall persona but I don't believe the Rox should just trade him to trade him. We wouldn't get equal value anyway because I don't think a franchise would trade their star or close to star player for Dwight. We just have to hope for the best for the duration of his contract.
I like his rebounding. he also scares the crap out of guards who are stupid enough to go inside. I've seen enough. My Center: I think I'll keep him ! ( It's cheaper to keep her.........................0
