Aldridge wasn't impressed with the meeting with the Lakers even with Kobe in the room. Apparently the old Lakers pitch magic has gone south or maybe he is just not a good fit. D. Jordon is probably the guy that will sign. If not, I like an UDFA center we have that is looking pretty good at this juncture.

they better woo DeAndre Jordan if its true Aldridge is not going to the Lakers....No Alrdidge, No Love, no Tyson....they better make a good pitch to DeAndre who I have heard really like Dallas.....

I hope so. All indicators point to Dallas at this moment! Will happily settle for Monroe too

thats where the Haywood contract would come into play

the Raptors want cap room-

I HOPE they give us Ross and someone they want to get rid of for Haywood...that would be AMAZING

PG-Kyrie
SG- Shumpert
SF- Bron
PF- Love
C- Mozgov

bench
PF/C Thompson
PF/C Varejao
SG/SF Ross (through HAywood trade)
PG- Mo Williams (through mid level)
PG- Delly
Pet- Mike Miller

and then add in 2-3 vets at min to fill out the bench- James Jones if he wants to be back...

GOLD..


cut dem checks Danny Boy

That would be legit. I heard Mo was getting close to signing with Memphis though.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Houston is another dark horse for Aldridge. That would be crazy

 

[Shanemansj13]

High-scoring free agent guard Monta Ellis has checked into a downtown Indianapolis hotel and will begin discussions with the Pacers this evening, according to a league source.

Looks like Monta will be a Pacer soon.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think this happens:

Spurs - Danny Green
Cavs - Love, TT, Smith
Grizzlies - Gasol, Jeff Green
Heat - Wade
Knicks - Monroe, Rondo
Kings - Lawson, Cousins
Bulls - Butler
Warriors - Draymond Green
Blazers - Matthews
Wizards - Pierce
Pistons - Harris, Jackson
Pacers - Ellis, Hibbert
Rockets - Smith, Beverly

Still not sure about:

Aldridge - 1 Spurs 2 Lakers 3 Mavs
Jordan - 1 Mavs 2 Lakers 3 Clippers

Chandler 1 Clippers 2 Mavs --->Suns

So far looking good.
Lakers are out for Aldridge. Suns added to the list.

The one I didnt predict was Chandler to the Suns

"At some point, somebody gotta just keep Kobe locked up in a basement with duct tape on his mouth until they're done with free agency"

 

[Shanemansj13]

Adrian Wojnarowski: Suns GM Ryan McDonough and staff — with Tyson Chandler — still in meeting with Aldridge now in Los Angeles, sources tell Yahoo.

I wouldnt be surprised if he went to Phoenix.

 

[Shanemansj13]

"I mean, how bad is Kobe in these meetings?

Is he just muttering, "He's soft ...bitch ...I got five, he's got shit ... but, yeah, join us.."

 

[LAD]

I'm not sure why folks think LA wants to play in Phoenix. What basketball reason would make him shun the other good teams that want him?

 

[LAD]

What would be funny is if SA made all those moves to get LA and he stays in Portland. At least the Lakers hadn't lost anything if they don't get LA.

What "all these moves" did they make?

They traded Splitter which was already in discussion for this offseason Aldridge or not.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Steal of the draft by EVERY expert.




Lot's of "if's" falling in line rather quickly for Riley.

Meanwhile, Love has scheduled a meeting with the Lakers... WHY?? If he knows he's going back to Cavs.
It can't be about money because he KNOWS exactly what the Cavs have to pay.

good call! ya know it looks like you were right about that

 

[purguy12]

Who will strike out Lakers or Knicks. Monroe might be the last one standing.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Tristan Thompson deal was 5 years $80 mil. I thought it was 4 years. So $16 isnt nearly as bad as 20. I thought he was worth 12-14, especially with the new cap coming up. So overpaid a little.

 

[lakersrule]

Yeah, the Suns will only get him if he wants to go there. A sign and trade would mean an extra year for him, though, so there is incentive for him.

Not anymore. He'll still only get a 4 year deal.

 

[Clayton]

Or the market is telling them how valuable their product really is

 

[Macho Grande]

I guess Aldrige felt he was worth more than only 3 minutes of Kobe's time.

 

[LAD]

I guess Aldrige felt he was worth more than only 3 minutes of Kobe's time.

Why would that matter since the final decision isn't up to Kobe?
