Exclusive The official Lamarcus Aldridge free agency thread

[PDXFonz]

Better chance LA goes to the Lakers than Phoenix FAMS.

 

[Tunchi]

I think Aldridge just wants to be 'The Guy' and be comfortable. That's why I think the Spurs wont land him. Mavs and Suns are those type of teams though.

Why cant he be the guy here? He said he'd resign with us so whats his problem?

 

[illmatic99]

Phoenix also has 3 additional future 1st rounders

And toss in a Morris twin for good measure.

Dame/Bled/Aminu/Morris/Monroe?

With CJ/Henderson/Leonard/Plums off the bench. And get some picks for next year

That's a playoff team

Because Lillard is "the guy" and there can only be one "the guy."

He changed his mind. Have you ever changed yours?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Because Lillard wants to be 'The Guy' too. Honestly we would be a better team with Dame as the leader. Teams take after their leader.

Who knows. Maybe it's personal, maybe he hates the winter weather, maybe he doesn't feel like the owner/management/coach is the right one(s) to put a championship caliber team together.

Shit happens.

 

[Scalma]

Gee thanks chris.

 

[Natebishop3]

Sauces

Gee thanks chris.

Dude it's Chris man. He's another guy you can count on to give you opposite results. This is good news!

Can there be a three way deal in a S&T situation? Like Bledose can be sent to NY separate from us?

Portland: Devin Booker and a future 1st (lottery protected)

Phoenix: LaMarcus Aldridge

New York: Eric Bledose

I'd love a deal like that.

Better yet, Booker and Kristpas to Portland.

I don't have a link to back it up but I am almost positive that the answer is no.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

New York would need to be getting more then. Maybe Vonleh?

What are they even giving up in your scenario? Cap space?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Cap Space and taking on a big contract.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

No sign and trades unless it's a huge lopsided deal. we have leverage if he wants to go somewhere and lose$27 million then let him lose it

Adrian Wojnarowski: The Suns are bringing Tyson Chandler into the meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge as part of their pitch, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[blue9]

Anybody know when his last meeting is scheduled for?

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude this is so old.

 

[magnifier661]

I think it ends tomorrow

 

[PDXFonz]

I never saw a date past today, but can't be sure he doesn't have anything scheduled tomorrow.

Cool!
How about a complete list of teams he's meeting with - that could help determine if this'll be over today or tomorrow. He's already met with HOU/DAL/SAS/LAL/PHX - who's missing?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Marc Stein: As one source sagely explains: Suns certainly have player to appeal to PORT in sign-and-trade if LaMarcus Aldridge chooses PHX: Eric Bledsoe. Blazers GM Neil Olshey drafted Bledsoe for Clips. If Aldridge springs surprise & chooses Phoenix, Suns could offer Bledsoe in sign-and-trade

 

[Natebishop3]

I feel like Monroe or the team is waiting to see what Aldridge does before agreeing.

Was supposed to be Toronto and Atlanta right?

All of the big moves will happen after LMA makes his decision. Once done all the others will fall into place.
