    Seems like the reports out of LA the past few days constantly contradict each other. I'm gonna go ahead and disregard anything on their front.

    Conversation starts and ends with Winslow and Whiteside. Portland has no incentive otherwise.

    Bosh is willing to play center, they need as much offense as they can get.

    Wise idea, they have their own reality distortion field running.

    I thought Bosh was adamant about not playing center too? Man, this is so dramatic. This should be TNT's next "hit" show.

    Miami is a great city for him, he should go to the Heats or comes to the Houston.

    Even so, they are replacing Bosh with the same player...the very same kind of player. I mean are there players with more similar games than these two?

    Not only would they be replacing Bosh with the same player around the same age...but giving up players to do so? It makes 0 sense.

    The heat have been a pathetically desperate team ever since losing Lebron.

    That's how you grow to be big and strong like Lamarcus Aldridge.

    It's not so much Doc as it just makes sense for LMA to come to Houston.

    Crazy thing is... if he comes to Houston and Dwight opts out of deal next year.

    We could work a S/T with Ariza in 2016 FA (if we can get Bev off books this FA we can maybe keep Ariza as Bima stated) and chase Durant STILL and hope Howard takes less money to win title. New CBA should help (MAYBE allowing Morey to wheel and deal).

    2016-2017 could feature:
    PG: Who Cares Just Be Servicable
    SG: Harden, who cares
    SF: Durant, who cares
    PF: Aldridge, who cares
    C: Howard, who cares

    Championship. Lol.

    Whiteside will be an UFA

    Agreed. I'm trying to understand this move myself, hence the health issue question. But Miami seems poised to gut their team once again to make it work, so they'll have to move Bosh over to the 5.

    I'm not sure Whiteside is such a good get in terms of POR getting pieces backed in a S&T. Isn't Whiteside a pure UFA next summer? There's going to be like 20 teams after him, so unless you're a true contender this season, not sure Whiteside will be that valuable.

    I'll get slammed for this, but Bosh might actually be a better player than LMA.

    He doesn't rebound as well, but he's more efficient on offense and he's a better defender, despite not being a shot blocker.

    No, that's what Dwight did, Lamarcus is doing his due diligence.
