[Shanemansj13]

Lakers and LaMarcus Aldridge

 

[DJ Fieri]

Already reported that he's getting 3 years/$20 million.

He signed? With who?

 

[DJ Fieri]

I hate having to bust my ass at work during FA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read that the Tristian Thompson deal is not done yet. Now LeBrons agent is saying they are still far away. Is that already being at 80 and wanting more?

Ed Davis, Blazers

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Barry Jackson, Heat reporter - talking about a potential S&T with Portland involving Whiteside, Deng, and salary fillers.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather keep Whiteside IF we know we can sign him next year.

Cavs probably trying to go lower...I would imagine

I think there'd be a fair amount of debate on both sides... I don't either take is crazy

Agree.
It isn't clear cut at all.
Aldridge is REAL good.
Thing is, neither he nor Bosh wants to play center.

They would be a nightmare pairing match up for opponents though.

Why would they want Bosh and LA. So Bosh would play center, that is not good.

I have no clue what they want.
This came out of nowhere.
Never say never with Riley though.
Maybe Wade is pissing him off?

Usually though, where there's smoke there's fire.

Maybe LA wants to play on the East?

Let's just end all of this BS:

Aldridge signs with the Spurs
Deandre Jordan re-signs with the Clippers

There - I hath spoken!

 

[Shanemansj13]

You know what would be real interesting? A Bosh-Aldridge sign-and-trade.

 

[Retroram52]

definitely wanting to see what this kid can do. heard he was a pretty good rim protector before he got the boot outta Washington...

Off-the-court stuff CL67. Many folks I have been reading indicate he was headed for the first round until the extra-curricular activities got him thrown out of school. Could be the find this year.

If they can make sure he doesn't turn into another Cousins.....he'll be a stud.

That was my first thought..

 

[Retroram52]

Pat going after Aldridge makes little sense especially if he ships Whiteside out of town.

Maybe additional teams are needed to make a trade happen that works for everyone.

Good point
