With the age difference in mind between Lillard and LMA, who between 22-25 would you trade Aldridge for? So please no Anthony Davis ideas, that's not going to happen.

I bring this up because I think we missed the boat to cash in on LMA with OKC and Harden. We easily could've trumped the Rockets offer with LMA going to OKC.

Go!

How do you know we didn't make that offer? Maybe the Thunder didn't want 3 max contracts. Seems the Harden move was about not taking on salary.
 
Portland: Omer Asik, Greg Monroe, and Greg Smith

Houston: LaMarcus Aldridge

Detroit: Chandler Parsons and Meyers Leonard
 
They move Josh Smith to his natural 4 position, get a good young 3, and a young developmental big.

They're having spacing issues with Smith at the 3.

Who is the young developmental big? I thought they were getting Meyers Leonard.
 
Ignore these Boy Scouts, DuckSeahawk. I got it.

DUDE THE ONLY PLAYERS THE BLAZERS TRADE ARE SCRUBS THAT DON'T PLAY OK!
 
Z-bo.
Wallace.
Outlaw/Blake.
Webster.
Miller/Rudy.
 
This is almost certainly sour grapes, but I can't stand the way Harden plays. Watching a guy shoot FTs all day is not my idea of fun.
 
You have to find a team that not only has young pieces to trade, but also is competing, either for real or in their minds, for a title

Houston
Asik
Motiejunas
Jones

2014 #1

Is literally the only team that makes any real sense. I am not sure that is the haul you want for Aldridge, but I think it's fair value

Didn't the 2013 draft already happen? http://nbadraft.net/nba_draft_history/index.html

Also, who's 2014 pick is that? Houston's or from another team? That pick won't be worth much if it's from Houston...

So essentially, you think it's fair value to trade LA for Asik, Motiejunas, and Jones?

I think it's fair value to trade LA for Asik, Jones, Motiejunas and 2 #1's

Find more, say there is no fair deal or shut the fuck up and stop criticizing others.

dude, slow your roll. dviss posted 1 comment, and wasn't being critical.
 
Chicago was supposed to be the preferred Aldridge destination and they just got pwned by Indiana, so maybe they'll be more interested.

Yes he was.

His one comment offered nothing to the topic other than to question a poster. OFFER SOMETHING or move the fuck along

It's not a fair deal, not even close.

Jones and Montie are mediocre prospects at best.

Two low-firsts aren't appealing.

You're basically trading LMA for a Przybilla level player.

I like the idea of that Charlotte pick. What kind of protection is on that again?

Mirotic would be nice as well.....what else would be fair?

Reasons why I hate this idea:
1. I hate the idea of helping Houston, now my least fave team in the league.
2. Motiejunas is junk - if you hate Leonard, why would you want him?
3. Jones is junk and a punk (he's a junk punk)
4. Asik only makes sense if we have a PF who can really score. Oh, that's Aldridge, whom we lose in this deal.
5. Houston picks would be low LOW first round.

The only assets we should consider for Aldridge are potential breakout stars (you know, like Harden two years ago or Bledsoe last year) or unprotected picks in the 2014 draft from teams that aren't guaranteed to make the playoffs. Strangely enough, teams aren't eager to move those assets.

that isn't the criteria for this thread, or any thread on this board, ever. If it was, your posts, my posts, and PVC's post total, would be about 1/3rd.

Take a look, again, at what he said. But instead of looking at it defensively, look at it via each sentence.

#1

Not critical. If anything it's a clarification. I personally thought you meant a different year, and accidentally typed last years pick (instead of just saying the players name, which I think most people would've understood).

#2.
Also, who's 2014 pick is that? Houston's or from another team? That pick won't be worth much if it's from Houston...

Again, not being critical. And actually, it IS offering up something to the topic, saying the pick wouldn't (probably) be that high of a pick from Houston.

#3

This is really the only sentence that one could argue is "criticizing", but I'm not sure it warranted the response it got.

Just saying, how you responded might just be a bit of an overreaction to what dviss said.

Are you suggesting that we only have people respond to these threads who themselves have trade ideas? We can only comment on the subject if we have our own trade scenario?

I'm not sure thats fair or even a practical standard to set.
