    If you don't have a guarantee to get Dwight you keep Asik no matter what. Without him or someone like him, you have no D or rebounding. Now if we end up getting DHO, then you go for it later when the price is reduced.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    The trade machine hasn't rolled forward yet so I don't know all the new salaries for 2013 and I am too lazy to do it by hand. FWIW, using last years numbers, it is only off 65k for Chicago.

    I'm not a Lin hater by any means, but I would do Asik + Lin for Aldridge. Though, I'm not sure why the Blazers would take Lin.

    Beverley
    Harden
    Parsons
    Aldridge
    Howard

    LMA is who I want but the chase for Dwight and Portlands high asking price makes this impossible

    LMA is my dream player for this team.

    If we could send out Lin + Asik + Robinson + whatever other PF is desired in some sort of a three/four way deal where we receive Aldridge, we will have cemented Dwight as a Rocket. I can't see this happening but crazier things have occured.

    Would chicago take back Asik?

    Asik to Chi
    Noah to Por
    LA to Houston

    match the salaries with fillers, etc

    Yes, Noah is definitely better. But when you just look at the numbers it's amazing how close Asik is to Noah. If a team wanted Noah but couldn't get him, then Asik would be a pretty good back up plan.

    So would you guys be in favor of being the 3rd team in this scenario?
    If we cleared out the room and got some goodies, would signing Paul Millsap be reasonable?

    lol....you dudes still fall for the pump fake EVERYTIME.

    If he wants to go to the Bulls....he's going to the bulls.

    LMAO @ last years DH hype of..."screw him.....trade him and make him suffer" yet.....two teams were on HIS radar.....BKLYN and LA.

    Where did he end up?

    Aldridge wants to be traded to Chicago....80% chance he gets his wish and other teams will get involved if needed to make it happen.

    How good do you think Lillard would be playing next to Harden?

    We should trade Donatas, Monte, Motiejunas, and DMo for LA.

    Sounds far fetched but that might have legs.....add fillers and picks and you may have something.
