I sure hope they get something done soon that makes all sides satsified, LMA is my favorite player on the team and I think he's as much a keystone to this team's future success as Brandon or Oden are.

That "report" said nothing new, really. It said that the Blazers are expected to lock up Aldridge too and quoted Pritchard giving one of his generic, GM-speak quotes. There was zero informational content to it, IMO.

It's not realgm though, it's just their news aggregator ... on the other hand it is from Portland Tribune, so ...

I agree. He doesn't get half the attention the other two get from the media, but if he continues to work on his defense he could really be the catalyst that holds it all together. What I like about LaMarcus is he has a real quiet intensity and a great work ethic, and you just know the kid does not want to lose and wants to prove everyone who said he was too soft coming out of college wrong. I like how he mentions what the ESPN guys said about him and how Portland was wrong to take him in 2006 even to this day.

KP was willing to give Turkoglu a 5 year, $720 million deal but won't give Aldridge anything?
Nope, nothing at all. KP has no love whatsoever for LMA, or any of the Blazers for that matter. Only a matter of time before he runs this team into the ground and we ride him out on a rail.

He'll ride out of town on LMA's right shoulder with Nate McMillan riding shotgun. This team's obviously going nowhere!
In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if something happened before Friday.

Pritchard landed his first San Antonio interview in Rick Fox's living room.

Good deal. 74 million though. Where is that figure coming from?

I will be shocked if Aldridge gets that much. About 130% more than Millsap got? 50% more than Bargnani?
I doubt it. Guess we'll wait and see...
