Honestly I think it's only between two teams. Spurs and Portland. Spurs win. So I don't even know why Dame is trying if it's even true he is meeting with him today. What could he tell Lamarcus to change his mind? Lamarcus will never be happy wherever he goes. Will be jealous of Kawhi after duncan and manu leave. I read that in his whole 9 years the closest team mates of his in order were Jamal Crawford, Wes, and Alonzo Gee. THREE dudes out of 9 years. Two of them only playing here for a year.

I'm rooting for Miami if he decides to leave. I bet they would send us Whiteside, Windslow and filler for him. Miami are desperate to get a "big three back" and they would have it with adding Dragon and Deng to the mix.

We could basically release any other players, and still have about 10 mil to play with.

Highly unlikely he goes there but I know what you mean. Wish we could get something in return but I feel it's the Spurs with nothing in return.

If LMA still goes elsewhere, Dame will go HAM when we play LMA's new team. He's the type to take this personally.

Like Gilbert Arenas pledging to score 50 on every coach that left him off Team USA. We remember how that went, right?
 
If MIA sends us Hassan and Bosh for LA then i will be thrilled.
Hassan absolutely abused some of the top bigs in the league (incl DJ), he almost made Gibson and Gasol cry after he blocked them 100 times in a game last season.
Bosh is a good filler for LA and he's a good guy that you want on your team.

Too bad LA is so stupid, why wouldn't you want to play for Riley in scarface city competing at the easier conference? planning on winning championships with Brandumb Knight instead?

It would be tempting for many reasons. 1.) he would go to a team that knows how to win a title 2.) they are in "win now" so they would be willing to mortgage their youth for one final push 3.) they would have a legit 3, with Deng and Dragon added to that mix 4.). He would most likely be the starting PF for the east allstars

I don't think they would send Bosh. It would have to be Hassan, windslow and filler. They give us good youth, we give them a legit big three.

And I agree with you. The age of Miami would work better with the amount of years Aldridge signs for. Spurs will be nothing, with the exception of Green and Leonard after a year or two.
 
Reading this thread tells me a lot about the dynamic of leadership on this team. Must of us read that Dame is flying down and though to ourselves "we got this... Lillard time!". That's how much confidence we have in Damian, we believe he is going to march in there and bring Lamarcus back. Honestly I think he just might.

Something tells me it won't be butt missing and schmoozing though, it Errol be Lillard saying how the new lineup with Lamarcus and he will kick everyone else's ass. He will preach to him about loyalty and the fans. It will be like a motivational half time speech.
 
No way they give up all that.

Being that LA is an UFA...

I think you could center their package around Winslow and fillers.

I'm thinking
Bosh
LMA
Deng
Wade
Dragic

is a pretty damn good team, could easily come out of the East. From our end, we'd be thrilled with Whiteside/Winslow/Filler. In fact, some here would rather have Winslow+Whiteside instead of LMA.

Are Bosh and LA both going to play at the same time? Who is the center?

Would be curious to see what Riley is pitching to him. Would be surprised if they gave up young talent outside of Whiteside due to his contract.

I would actually prefer it and Aldridge is my favorite player

Bosh Played and is used to playing center when they made their championship runs with LBJ

Riley is in a slight pickle because his youth is far younger than the old vets he has. Offering a mega deal to Bosh, then trying to keep Wade at 20 mil, Miami needs to be in the contending mix. He knows Bosh, Dragon, Wade won't be enough

I could be talked into Winslow/Whiteside. Portland needs a SF although I'm not thrilled with Winslow but he does have some upside. Whiteside all of a sudden showed up last year. Liked him out of college but then he didn't do anything and then goes crazy last season. Flash in the pan? Not much of a sample size. Still, he is a defensive center and we need a SF....decent trade although Miami gets the best player by far.

Unless the two of them can work together to bring in a third star I don't see it working.
 
I like this Miami idea.

Works for Miami.

Works for our rebuild.

Someone needs to convince LaMarcus.

Aminu can be our starting SF while Windslow gets groomed to take over.

Dame, Hedo, Aminu, Leonard and Whiteside looks decent for a starting core. I would hope we use what's left of our cap space to grab a better SG

Leonard/Whiteside is an intriging combo.
 
Huh? Bosh a good filler? Bosh is better than LA right now. That trade would make no sense for them.

Enter Pat Riley. He can be quite convincing and LA/Bosh have Texas history.

Only Aldridge haters would say that. Throughout the league, it is known that Aldridge is much better than Bosh.
