LaMarcus Aldridge plans on signing extension next summer

[julius]

If he's going to sign it then why doesn't he just sign the damn thing? Does he think he's going to get even more money?

you do know that if he signs it next year he'll get an extra year, right? and more money?

How do you figure? Isn't it that he could sign a 4 year extension that starts at the end of this upcoming season, or he can sign a contract at the end of this next season for 5 years.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

extensions can only be for 4 years, including the current year, so essentially, 3 extra years is the longest they can be, if done in the expiring year.

if there are 2 years left on a deal, you can only extend to 4 years, so an extension of 2 years. and so on.

if he plays out next season he will be able to sign for 5 years.

I know . . . like my neighbor who can't speak, he signs every day.

It's a 3-year extension versus a 5-year extension. Both start after next season, and have nothing to do with the last year of Aldridge's contract he signed under the last CBA.

In order to have a 5 year, he must play out the existing contract.

I don't get why LMA doesn't sign 7 three year contracts and play for the Blazers for the next 21yrs.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

id be happier with 36.5 10 day contracts per year

Does anyone know if LaMarcus is still dating Penny Marshall? I hate how as soon as he gets a little famous he goes all Hollywood.

She's an avid Clippers fan. Obviously he is signing there next summer. Look at their chemistry

Yes. If he waits, he gets more money on a longer contract.

"I should be able to leave a mark on a big-time franchise that is going to be seen forever. And I will be able to say I played here my whole career. This city has embraced me and grown with me. I have so much history, it just makes sense to stay."

How very Timmy D of him.
