(https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA)Portland is finalizing a trade to send Nic Batum to Charlotte for Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson, league sources tell Yahoo.

Means Aldridge to SA.

Means Aldridge to SA.
How do you figure?

[RsxPiimp]

Da fuck? Too early to give up on Vonleh.

[The Gemini Method]

It is Charlotte...

[Shabazz]

Henderson can't shoot. Hornets need outside shooting and have needed to dump Henderson for a while.

Vonleh spent most of his rookie season on the bench injured or 3rd on the depth chart.

hornets are also shopping Zeller. Looks like they may target Kaminsy at 9.

How do you figure?

It's not a trade Portland makes if LMA is staying. If he leaves, it's for the Spurs/

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
(https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA)Sources: Blazers didn't make deal as first step of rebuilding. Aldridge was aware of trade, and Blazers did deal independent of free agency.

[RsxPiimp]

Batum and MKG tho. That's a legit perimeter duo, something Lance failed to provide last year. If they can get Kaminsky or WCS at 9, that would wrap a pretty good off season for Charlotte.

Wojnarowski is getting trolled, hard.

(https://twitter.com/rick_bonnell)I am told the @hornets (https://twitter.com/hornets/) will also end up with Jeremy Lamb in a separate deal involving Matt Barnes' contract. Barnes isn't going to OKC.

:lmao OKC
:lmao Lamb for Harden

[Mikeanaro]

Portland is fucked, a very drastic rebuilding IMO, on the other hand Charlotte is becoming interesting.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

^Interesting in the sense that nobody on their team can shoot.

[Franklin]

The rebuilding process begins for the Guest team :lol

[whitemamba]

LMA is gone, rebuild time.

[Shabazz]

^Interesting in the sense that nobody on their team can shoot.

They appear to be trying to fix that. They dumped Stephenson and his record low 3pt %. They'd dumped Henderson, who also can't shoot. They have picked up Lamb and Batum. They also appear to be shopping Zeller for a shooter.

[TDMVPDPOY]

LMA is gone, rebuild time.

lol if this happen in this order
spurs trade splitter to clear more space
lma signs with dallas
big name FA remaining with team or signing with any other team not the spurs
danny green leaving for bigger contract offer
patty and belli getting better offers then what they were currently on

spurs pulling a cuban breaking up a championship contender team to become a pretender when they only needed to do small tweek in the roster istead of going all hands in with a shit hand to steal a big name FA

[RsxPiimp]

#2 for Lollard, do it Mitch

Not at all. It's just moronic to want to trade the number 2 overall pick in a nice draft, for a career 42% shooter, a PG whose career best in assists WITH Aldridge on the team, is 6.5

You think Lillard is a franchise player, worth 100 million?

[RsxPiimp]

You think Lillard is a franchise player, worth 100 million?

He'll get max, whether he deserves it or not, it's another thing. He's way too young and he has room for improvement. Franchise player? it's all relative, I think he can be a face of a franchise, just like John Wall is. Doesn't put them in Lebron/KD or unibrow's universe, you get my point.


It's a pipe dream, but given our choices (D'Angelo Russell or Okafor) I'm not too excited with both prospects. Lottery is a crapshoot. I'd rather get an All Star caliber player and build from there. I personally like Lillard's intangibles. He lead the Trailblazers in most key advance metrics this year (WS/VORP/BPM) and even led the team in TS%. While he has flaws that's apparent in his 3 yrs in the league, the upside is still there.

You are way to impatient. Relax. We will get back to the top it just gonnna take longer than we want. But lets not fuck up by trading for and then paying non legit stars max money. No to Love, Lillard etc. yes to unibrow, Durant, Westbrook, Blake etc. All Lillard and his ilk can lead us to is a 2nd round ass whuppin at best.

[RsxPiimp]

Nah, I'm not impatient. Impatient is supporting to gut a team and throw away assets for DMC. I can wait, I'm just not too confident with the direction of the team. The current Lakers management haven't been exactly wise when it comes to handing out contracts either ($48.5 for Kobe, $100 Mil offered to Melo) so a hypothetical scenario of giving it to an All Star third year player like Lillard isn't exactly the worst idea. Heck I'd rather spend it on someone young than say Aldridge, Dragic or Rondo. But it's moot and hypothetical.


Also, Blake and Westbrook aren't exactly world beaters :lol.

Exactly,,,the cold hard reality is there are no "world beaters." That's why we (us & Media) keep reaching back for Jordan. Sure, Media tries with LeBron, but, they know. And we know, so it doesn't have a concrete foundation, so, it's just words and no deeds. Just symbolism and no substance.
