Merged: Would you support this move?

Re: Would you support this move?

I've changed my mind on this over time. At this point though, I do not want to move Aldridge unless we're talking about Chris Paul. No one else. Lamarcus's ceiling, to me, is Pau Gasol. I wouldn't move a prime Gasol for a prime Deron Williams or Devin Harris.

I would, however, move David Lee for a high-level point guard.

Would You Trade LMA...

....if it meant getting David Lee and a top-tier Small Forward and/or Point Guard? If so, for whom? What if the deal included Rudy, as well?

PG's: Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose (maybe).
SF's: Lebron James, Danny Granger (maybe).

I'll combine those two replies: Hell no for any reasonable acquisition we would make.

-- Sign David Lee to a long-term deal. $50m/5 years.

-- Package LaMarcus Aldridge for a top-tier PG in the mold of a Devin Harris/Deron Williams/ect.


I really hate the idea of packaging LaMarcus but if we can land a Deron Williams (caliber) from a cash strapped team, or a team on the verge of rebuilding, we have to pounce on that opportunity. We all know how hard it is trying to obtain a good/great PG. We haven't had one since - Rod Strickland and Terry Porter?

David Lee is a stud. Flat out. He averaged a double/double before the SSOL offense. He's too good not to start. That is why It makes absolutely no sense to bring him on board with LaMarcus already here. So, if we can solve our PG problem using LaMarcus and signing David Lee, that's a perfect storm.

Would I support that move?

No.

No way Utah trades us their best player. I sure as hell would do it though, if the price was right.

Aldridge - no way in hell should he be going anywhere. Blazer for life.
He'll become scary good within the next few seasons.
