    I have feeling Monroe is going to NYK. Portland is a close second.

    Who else is interested in him?

    He'd be a nightmare (for us) next to Dwight clogging up the lane, and slowing down our offense. No way.

    He also make Jones and D-Mo look like defensive stalwarts compared to him. He's probably a good fit for a team that has no inside scoring options at all, or a team rebuilding that needs a go-to option down there.

    I think NY would be a good fit for him, and he'd actually complement Melo pretty well as a scoring duo. They won't stop anyone there but they should be able to score with Melo, Afflalo, Monroe, Calderon, and whoever else.

    Because we would have to dump our entire roster. Why would LMA sign a 2 yr contract? Too risky.

    Cant confirm the contract, but can confirm the teams.

    Since its FALK - it may be a big market, he loves marketing guys.

    wouldn't they be waiting on LMA tot make a deciosn tho much like the spurs, he must be getting maxed out because surly after LMA makes his decision he would have more bargaining power as the best PF/C left

    I know. Hes also phils bbf from old. But he did say he wants to win. Though with cheap afflalo deal they gonna be comfy adding him at max. But no matter. Either way ROLO should be the next to go right away.

    Not that simple. You'd have to do all of the following:

    -Renounce Brewer, Smith, and Terry.

    -Cut Kostas

    -Trade Prigioni, Dorsey, TJones, and Ariza

    That leaves you with:

    22.4 - Howard
    15.8 - Harden
    2.3 - DMo
    1.2 - Capela
    0.8 - Johnson
    2.7 - Beverley Cap Hold
    1.1 - McDaniels Cap Hold
    1.3 - Dekker Cap Hold
    2.2 - 4 Cap Holds

    Total - $49.8 million
    Remaining Cap (Assuming $69.1 million that's been speculated) - $19.3
    LMA Max - $18.9 million

    So if you just look at that, it looks fine. We can keep all these players, and sign LMA to his max.......except when you start to look at the actual roster:

    Beverley / Johnson
    Harden / ?
    KJ / Dekker
    LMA / DMo
    Howard / Capela

    We would have NOTHING at the wings, and there's no way we can rely on either KJ or Dekker to be the answer. Guard would be very thin, and on top of this, we wouldn't have many ways to add talent. DMo would be the main chip, but his salary is only $2.2, which won't get us far in any trade discussion.

    SnT is the only practical way to do this.
