    Well L.A. has been playing good the last few games, but can he do this consistently? With Brandon Roy's situation, until he can find a way to consistently play through his pain or find a way to relieve his pain temporarily during games Aldridge will have to be our #1 go to guy on offense.

    I've been saying since last year, even before then that i think L.A. has all star potential. He's quick for his size, athletic, tall and long. I hope Camby is teaching him how to become a better more consistent rebounding. He should really be a 20 and 10 guy every night.

    In order for us to make it in the playoffs though, he'll have to take responsibility of scoring this season imo. Yeah wes matthews is great, but Aldridge must be our go to guy he's an experienced vet. 

    I'm still praying for Brandon Roy, i just hope maybe later on in the season his knee will cope better. Theres gotta be something that isn't against NBA rules that this guy can take to play through the pain. You can just see it when he's on the floor, he even looks funny running that knee is really giving him problems. Quite honestly, i do not believe roy should be on the floor until he's found a solution to deal with his pain.

    This is a world the revolve around money, i'm sure he can find something he can take before every game to relieve his pain thats legal in the NBA. Maybe then he'll regain his explosiveness and return to the old dominant roy, the roy who i thought was the 2nd or 3rd best 2 guard in the league.

    Oden was definitely the best pick coming out of high school and arguably ahead of Durant in the 2007 draft. But the draft is art not science and we really needed a dominant center at the time. If we can get Oden for a short term low-risk deal. Lik...

    I dont think Bucks take on Batums contract when they have an identical player with the same contract for Sanders. Sanders and Henson seem like the only untouchables on that team
