The SA game should've been a jumpstart to a win streak but he doesn't care. He's never believed in our playoff chances like Lillard and Matthews do. He's just walking through the rest of the season. He should've stepped up and played like a monster tonight but he didn't. He is garbage. I'm done with him.
 
I don't think he has quit and while Im not totally going to hate him I am becoming more unopposed to trading him if the right deal comes. Of course, if he demands a trade or publicly says he wouldn't resign we wouldn't get near the value, but potential picks and other young players could be ok.
 
My favorite players Hickson and Claver would never quit on the team. We should trade Aldridge for my favorite player of a few years ago, Petteri Koponen.

It's funny as I am feeling more and more the same way as I compare JJ and LMA. If we can sell high on LMA and keep JJ for 7-8 mil that may be a good way to go. My mind is not made up but LMA vs JJ is not that far apart compared to what we mught get in trade for LMA.
 
It's not Aldridge who has changed; he has always played half-assed. What has changed is everyone's perception, now that a real PF putting out effort is present for us to compare, alongside him every game.

Aldridge is a nonrebounding center who thinks mainly of his shooting, so he has to pretend to be a PF.
 
All you whiners forget that Aldridge actually helps Lillards game. Grab that cheese with you whine. It's boring.
 
I've noticed a change since the All-Star break. After he got his achievement, he lowered his effort level. The only time he plays well is against teams from Texas because his mom is there.

Listen, I like Aldridge. He presents a unique set of skills that few power forwards possess, but he has an over-inflated self worth and he's only a couple years away from expecting a very big payday.

Fuck looking for young guys and picks, I think we should try to deal him for another legit star. Either a wing, or a center.

How about Aldridge for Larry Sanders, a re-signed Redick, and filler?

Lillard
Redick
Batum
Hickson
Sanders

That's a damn good lineup.

For Larry sanders, I would welcome any trade involving Aldridge. And im not saying Aldridge is untradeable. Just give me something I can be fine with. Not some no defense Monroe or pek. That's some bullshit!

What would you think of Sanders and Redick (re-signed) this summer?

I'd do that. But, I'd start Matthews over Redick.

Reunites Maynor with Sanders.

I love sanders but were going to overpay Redick (will have to give him at least 8m) and overpay Hickson (Giving hickson 8m+ a year is the same as it was giving it to Humphries and now look were Humphries is) seems a little reckless. Wouldn't mind trading him to the Rockets fo Asik/Robinson/Parsons

Think MIL would go for it? Gives them a legit All-Star to pair with Jennings. I don't see any other way they're getting someone like Aldridge to that city.

Aldridge would make the all star game every year in Milwaukee.

I think they would. We need to get Olshey on this. Start signing a petition. Something.
 
Sanders AND Redick. And it's not a bad deal.

Nor a good one either.

Unfortunately As LMA goes, the Blazers go. he's a jump shooting PF, with the odds against him/us. A game changing weapon when on, regardless how consistent he is or isn't your not going to find equal value of his effect in a trade.

I'd ask for a first rounder too.

I'm probably one of the biggest Aldridge supporters on this forum but I would do that deal. Sanders is an absolute monster and is a multi time DPOY waiting to happen.
 
If Sanders could shoot like Redick than maybe it would be worth it. We need to add a guy like Larry without giving up our offensive centerpiece in the process.

Sanders is a huge defensive centerpiece. As in he can make your shitty defense good for the next decade.

He's going to be Ben Wallace good on that end. Book it.

Hickson is just as good as Aldridge on offense and Sanders is light years better defensively.
 
If Aldridge has quit then I don't even want to know what Batum has been doing.....

11 fucking million $ per

Back in 2008 when I was going to all the road games, I waited for the players to come out after and I remember after one game when I was devastated that we lost, Aldridge came out smiling ear to ear like nothing had happened. It was disturbing.
