He was dropping it on a table just cant see it in that video.

You are correct, and it's pretty obvious since you can see he's placing it on the table and setting it up to fold the jersey.
 
Kind of crazy the Suns had 3 pgs trying to play together, fighting for the ball and time and now all 3 might be gone.
 
What happened to Bledsoe's career after hitting PHX? He was quickly becoming an elite PG in LA, gets traded to PHX and never hear about him again.
 
If Jordan goes to Dallas. Where do we anticipate Chandler going?

Dallas is one of those playoff ready teams. In other words, make the playoffs where ever you can as long as everyone is healthy. I believe they would be incredibly patient with Wes

That's fine, and I hope he gets his big payday, but I just really don't want to see the Blazers invest a ton of money into someone that might not come back at full strength.

That's one of my big worries as well. I absolutely love Wes, but not 12+ per year, injured, not being able to land other free agent WES

This is our big summer. After we max Dame and either max LA or bring in a replacement, we won't have much cap space. If we throw a bunch of money at Wes and he can't come back strong, we would be seriously screwed.
 
So in summary:

Out:
Aldridge
Batum
Matthews
Lopez
#23 pick

In:
Monroe
Aminu
Henderson
Plumlee

bleh, we get a 35-40 win team with relatively big contracts, and little hope for improvement in the future.

Hope there's more coming our way

Yep, it would be almost as bad as the Brandon Roy debacle where we have zero flexibility if things don't pan out.

Also, I would much rather lose Matthews and Aldridge if it means Olshey can have room to operate in the next few years. Obviously you want to tie up Aldridge, but if he bolts, then why would you sign anyone other than a top tier free agent to a large contract?

If LA left, I don't think it would just be Aminu and Monroe coming back. I think there would be another player. Don't we have enough for two max deals?

Sure, about 40 mil.

20 for Monroe, 8 for Aminu, and about 12 mil left. Who would fit that, and would he be a true difference maker?

Monroe's max is 20? I thought it was lower as he is a 6 year player and under. I not sure I want that guy for 20. I know it is splitting hairs but 16.5 ok. 20? Oh man....
 
if you say 16 (max) for Monroe, and MLE-ish for Aminu, you could sign a 7-9 yr vet max

Actually I don't think so. If we lose all the players you suggested, then we would have 43 mil in space. Monroe's max is actually 15.9 mil, 8 for Amniu, leaving almost 20 mil

About 17, and 8 for Aminu, so we'd have about 15 left for either a trade or FA.

Gay? Would Sac give us a pick to take on his contract?

Dame/Henderson/Gay/Monroe/Plums

with CJ/Aminu/Vonleh/Leonard off the bench.

So about 45 wins?

Would you be happy if it was Danny Green?
Monroe
Aminu
Green

The starting lineup would be

Dame/CJ
Green/Henderson
Aminu/Crabbe
Leonard/Vonleh
Monroe/Plumlee

Is that a playoff team?

No Monroe is a 15.9 mil max player. That is absolutely the most he can get
