This all got started when i was listening to the MSP this morning. Everyone is expecting LMA to sign an exstension this summer and keep this happy little nucleus together but what if he demands max money? I know the Blazers are not going to max him out but if he were on another team and was the #1 option and didn't have 2 vacuum cleaners for centers he would probably be a 20/10 guy. At his age with his athleticism, speed, and length he would have a real good shot at a max contract. But it does not work to max him out on this team, and outside of him we don't have a legit option at PF AT ALL.

So, everyone (including myself) hasn't even thought of the terrible possibility of LMA ruining out little picnic here by testing the waters after next season. I mean the difference between 60 and 80 million seems a little silly to us common folk but it makes a big difference to these players historically. What are the chances that LMA and the Blazer dont agree on an extension?
