LMA just rolled his eyes...ya, I peeped that! Let me bump that 30% chance of him joining the Knicks to 32%.

Aldridge is really good and right now he's in the sweet spot of his playing career. We'd be very very lucky to grab a player like that judging by who we are and what we are. Hell all we have is money to offer him and less money at that.

True, but I think that we also offer him a chance to do something big in the East. He'll just rot away on the Blazers...they're not going anywhere. The Knicks can't go anywhere but up and plus with him and Melo on the same team with a rising cap, I think that many players will line up to join the squad. Who's going to Portland?

Sorry.. none of these guys in the west leave the west to play in the garbage east. People have been saying that for years.. never happens. The last thing on an athletes mind is taking the easy way out. If you're trying to win a championship there is no easy way out.

I remember Kevin Love was supposed to beast in the east too.. uhhh.. yeah never happened.

Kevin Love just made the playoffs for the 1st time in his life, and could very well make the finals.

Portland is battered and bruised.. LMA knows that. I would move Batum before he becomes a free agent for a little more scoring punch and aggression from the 3. I would also try going small with LMA at the 5 next year and run.

And literally almost had nothing to do with it and doesn't play at the end of games and will probably bolt to where? The western conference.

We need a sign outside of MSG when free agency starts that says..

"The Eastern Conference Sucks..

..Join us?"

Going to team up with other superstars is looking for an easy way out.

This is by far the most boring series in the playoffs...yawn

You don't think these cats know that Lebron James lurks in the east? :lol:

As long as he's in the east the road ain't ever easy.

They're down 0-2.

Could have easily been 1-1 or 2-0 in their favor. The Hawks won more than 20 more games than them, but the difference doesn't look that big in the playoffs. Lebron would make short work of them

So far Washington has been looking as the strongest team in the top half of the East playoff bracket.

More like going to play basketball with some of his friends and win some championships.

Classic LMA being soft & getting flustered.

First Zach bodied him on the previous possession and now this.

All these series have been pretty boring to me. Hope it picks up in round 2. Still relatively early tho.

I look at it like this. Do u want to go against Lebron and maybe Chicago depending on health...or the Warriors, Clippers, Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies, Thunder, and soon to be Pelicans?
