If the Aldridge trade rumor is legit...

[BlazerCaravan]

Really?

Aldridge on a down year as you describe it is averaging more points and rebounds than Lopez. I realize it's in more minutes, but why is Lopez only playing 29.5 a game?

They may say no, but I can't see how they'd laugh us off the phone either

I'm looking up the games in which Brook plays low minutes, and it looks like they're all blowouts. Unlike the Blazers, it appears the the Nets win big and lose big quite often. They also have a bench that can play more than 5 minutes without blowing a lead.

You don't give up Leonard. I might be in the minority here, but Leonard has shown me things with his size and mobility for a legit 7 footer that could be a star in the making. Is he raw? Absolutely? But, he can do things that you just can't teach a 7 footer. He's only 20.

Yeah, what he said.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Portland is 4-6 in their last 10 games.

Lakers are 2-8.

Amazing how easily that makes me feel better about the 6 game losing streak.

 

[RR7]

Yeah, if you decide for whatever reason to move LMA, you don't package more good young talent with him.

Consider me on this bandwagon. I put his floor, at minimum, at Joel's ceiling. Call me crazy. But you have to love the kid's potential.

Anthony Davis or Bust, though I do find MM's Houston deal intriguing.

edit: no one has mentioned Sacramento/Seattle. I would think they'd want
a "star" + cap space, which we can offer.

Yeah, I'm kinda with you guys. He has range out to 18 feet, soft hands, and confidence... he sometimes acts like a Great Dane puppy out there, and gets abused defensively, but that comes with time.

Great Dane Puppy is the perfect analogy for Leonard.

Shit don't say this too loud.

Fez will come running through here screaming "DMC, DMC" and "Not. Swayed."

funny stuff.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He may be a tad sociopathic (uh, #BeWell) but the guy would INSTANTLY be our best scorer.

GET-R-DONE, NEIL!!!!!!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Fez, can we get a "Not. Swayed."?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

But I'm VERY swayed with DMC's scoring ability and talent!

 

[Natebishop3]

Why do you hate this team so much Fez?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

DMC/DML (Lillard) would be a great inside/out combo!

You'd have two legit go-to ISO-type scorers for the next decade.

Why do you want to add JR Rider 2.0 to our team?

 

[RR7]

He would INSTANTLY be our best scorer because we traded our best scorer for him.

Halfway through the season and Imaginary Trade threads are already running rampant on S2.

My favorite part of these threads is when people start to seriously argue their imaginary trades versus someone else's opinion of their imaginary trades.

"What?? You wouldn't do that deal??? I am so offended!!"

 

[PapaG]

You had it set to "cumulative." If you just go by productivity this year, Brook is putting up far superior per minute stats (albeit in 9 fewer minutes/game). http://bkref.com/tiny/bBMAB

In part because Lopez has had foot issues. LMA is playing 39ish mpg at an All-Star level on a non-max contract, and people want to trade him for Brooke Lopez, who will always have to have his minutes limited.

Lopez has missed 7 games this year because of a sprained foot, and people want to trade for him?

LMFAO

 

[PapaG]

LMA and Leonard for Brook Lopez?

I'd throw in Lillard and a future first too, just to make the Nets say yes. Portland needs more centers with foot/knee issues. I don't think they have one on the roster right now.
