If paired up with star level players like Crawford or Aldridge, Howard's chances of getting a ring increase and he is probably more willing to deal with the rain while he stays up there during the season.
If they offered 6,11,20 and batum the magic would be dumb to turn it down. The Blazers could go sign deron and have a big three of aldrige, dwight, deron. That would really suck for us. The trail blazer are just smarter than us. They had two potential superstars go out and they still are in a better position than us.
It is obvious that the Blazers have not chance. Otherwise, Dwight would have been crying over not wanting to go there already.
They can't offer Batum until after the draft. He is a restricted free agent so he can't be included in any trades until after free agency.
