A Houston Trade for me would require in return

Asik
Terrence Jones
Donatas Montiejunas
Chandler Parsons

I love Montiejunas as a real sleeper, and would be a great get on the cheap!

This trade would give us alot of young "Size" that have tremendous upside, while giving Houston the big 3 they would be looking for with the addition of Aldridge and a signed Howard. Good deal for both teams I think.
 
If he's gone, then I say Chicago, and we get AT MINIMUM:
rights to Mirotic (who is the best player on the best team in Spain that also has Rudy and Sergio)
Charlotte's 2014 pick (if I'm right and Chicago has it)
Taj Gibson OR Luol Deng.

Of course I really want Noah, but Chicago wouldn't do that, as he's their heart and soul.

We trade Aldridge THEN get Asik because Houston has to unload him. We don't accept him as payment for Aldridge. And I want no part of Thomas Robinson - I think it's clear he's a below average NBA player.

That's the package I'd look at too.

Morotic AND the CHA pick + Taj or Butler

Just stay away from the Clippers!

@bballSource I'm hearing thru the grapevine that there's talk of LaMarcus Aldridge being traded to the #Clippers, DeAndre Jordan being part of pkg

I have to disagree about Motiejunas. He's Spencer Hawes at best. Jones is okay, but they're not giving up Parsons, and besides, we have a ton of small forwards.

If Asik is the main piece coming back in an Aldridge trade, I would be sick to my stomach.

I don't think that (trading Aldridge for Asik) makes sense. If we're trading Aldridge we want either high picks or young players that could turn into stars (or both, in the case of Mirotic + Charlotte pick from the Bulls). Not expensive role players, however awesomely they play that role.

Yeah if any Aldridge deal gets done; then I know olshey got Allen to agree to a proper rebuild. Only young cheap talent and picks are the option. We would need to tank hard next season.
 
I'd prefer a three-way that nets us DMC and Mirotic.

I've been on the trade-LMA-bandwagon for a while now but I truly don't understand why Neil would even talk to the Clippers if they weren't giving up Blake.

That doesn't make sense now or long-term.

None.
 
I would want to SEND Freeland + LMA

And receive DeAndre, Bledsoe, Reggie Bullock, and every draft pick they can manage to round up for the next 10 years.

Notice how Olshey says get "better", not worse. Doesn't sound like Allen is wanting another 3-year project. Which is why I find the entire 'trade LMA for garbage' stuff so silly and uninformed.

http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i...zers_and_free_agency_part_ii_neil_olshey.html

"The last thing Paul said to me as we walked off the court was ... 'Just promise me we are going to be more competitive next year,'" Olshey said. "And I told him: 'We are.'"

Although Olshey said Allen made his directive out of empathy after watching Damian Lillard, Will Barton and LaMarcus Aldridge play hard, only to fall short because the Blazers were so short-handed, the message was not lost on Olshey.

Allen wants to win, and wants to win now. He wants to be wowed.

And if Olshey gets his way, that wow might be delivered on June 27, the night of the NBA draft.

"We are going to be aggressive to construct a deal to make the team better on draft night," Olshey said.

No DeAndre Jordan. Please. The only way I would ever have contemplated that is to keep Aldridge happy by getting a half-decent big man. But if Aldridge goes, so does any shred of a reason to take on his bloated contract and bloated sense of self-worth.

It will work if we keep Aldridge. If we trade him; we have no shot.

Unless you get equal current value in return for him. Trading him for role players and draft picks does nothing but waste time.

I just don't see that happening too much. Usually the all star is traded for youth and picks or role players
 
I haven't read this whole thread, so forgive me if this has already been posted:

Aldridge improbable fit for Bulls:

LaMarcus Aldridge and Derrick Rose share the same agency. Despite recent rumors, it's unlikely they soon will share the same team.
Multiple reports had Aldridge, whom the Bulls originally drafted and traded in 2006, vying to be traded to a contender unless the Trail Blazers significantly improve this summer. His agency has suggested Aldridge landing with the Bulls, among others, sources said.
At issue is the Trail Blazers want a center — at least — in return, and the Bulls won't part with Joakim Noah. In this hypothetical, because no terms have been discussed, the Trail Blazers also likely would ask for Jimmy Butler and/or the Bulls' first-round pick from Charlotte, which could be fully unprotected in 2016.
The Trail Blazers are in no rush to trade Aldridge and won't do so unless the right deal presents itself. This is a situation that may remain fluid into this summer and next. But unless the Trail Blazers change their focus and accept either Carlos Boozer or Luol Deng — neither of whom has been discussed — it's a non-starter.

Look: I don't care if Aldridge has moved out. He's under contract. He can fucking shut up and play and we'll wait until somebody gives us a fucking good offer. There is absolutely no call to unload him for anything less than a gold-plated pick and/or a young all-star prospect.
 
I was interested in Jordan alongside Aldridge. Lose interest to get him for Aldridge. However, I wonder who Bledsoe would net in a 3 way. I doubt enough to make it worthwhile, but Neil likely roughly knows the value of his old players, or at least some previous offers sent to him where he could likely have a decent idea of who he might be able to flip Bledsoe to if it were those two. Big isse is doing it after the draft, teams like Utah an N.O. filled their PG holes.

After the ideas I've seen on this board this week, I wouldn't mind that either. What I don't understand is trading LMA for Bledsoe/Jordan, specifically because Bledsoe will be due a contract after next season as an RFA, and Jordan expires the same year as LMA.

It makes no sense to me, other than it makes the team worse, and with no cap space, for the next two years.
 
As for any Noah trade, what's to say the Blazers aren't in a similar situation with him after next season (in Imaginary Trade Land, where LMA nets Noah this summer)? He'll have two years left on his contract after next season, has literally no history or connection to the Blazers and the community ... why wouldn't he force his way out, if LMA does it this summer?
 
I think the chances of a LMA for Noah deal is zero.

I don't think the Bulls are giving up Mirotic either. The only rumor I've seen is Deng and the Charlotte pick.

I agree. Add one to the other, but swapping them, neither team accomplishes anything constructive.

I think the only deal the Bulls would have done for Noah was "pick any two aside from Rose for DHoward." I don't think they'd do that deal now, since Howard's been a bit tender.
