This rumor has him leaning towards the Lakers

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Is it safe to assume that since Aldridge will be traveling quite a bit starting tomorrow, that he wont have a decision for at least a week?

Is it then also safe to assume that we'll have most of our FA business done by the time he decides? (at least in principle, i know it cannot be signed until july 8th

The team's reps fly to the players and meet them where they live more often than not.

@latbbolch: Heard that LaMarcus Aldridge was leaning toward Lakers, a sign that their brand is not only back but never went away despite appearances.

I'm guessing that the "lat" in "latbbolch" stands for LA Times?

Ah yes, "Clippers Beat Reporter". Bound to have the inside track on what Aldridge is thinking.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Maybe Aldridge is very attracted to Turkish women and is trying to find a baby mama?

I hear Toronto has a great Turkish community

Yes the article I posted has a link to the times article. Seems fluffy

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Indeed.

Funny that our "insiders" have broke ZERO news/rumors this summer.

So far every one of them just cut-and-paste Woj or Stein.

@MySportsLegion: The Lakers aren't wasting time, they'll meet with LaMarcus Aldridge at 12:01 AM tomorrow night. (LA Times)

I broke that Batum and LMA won't be on the team next year and I named my source.

I think LA is going to drag his decision out and meet with as many teams as possible. Not only does he seem to flip flop on how he's feeling towards the Blazers on a daily basis (as reported by more than one person), he LOVES the attention and there's no doubt he's going to what to be courted by any team that shows the slightest amount of interest.

Hopefully Neil is meeting with him too at that time so he can silly string them when he opens the door

Get your tits off this thread!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's funny: I think it's actually kind of a step down for the Lakers to be pursuing LaMarcus. I mean, West, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, Kobe, Shaq... Aldridge?

Little do they know he gets cranky after his bedtime.

I would be so salty if Aldridge goes to the Lakers.

Yep. That's a jersey burnin'.

 

[illmatic99]

Fuckers

 

[magnifier661]

Same. I have 5 jerseys to burn if that happened. Got an autographed poster I may use for toilet paper and save his face for last. Wait for that moment after eating 3 servings of chili

 

[illmatic99]

Intersting that Aldridge gave them the first time slot.

Losing respect for this attention whore already

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Losing LMA without any compensation would hurt this team.

Cap for FA is useless when you consider Andre Miller was the biggest name to outright sign with Portland.

[illmatic99]

Where's Neil? Is it true that Aldridge already told Por, no?

 

[magnifier661]

I sure hope this is that Godfather ending I was hoping for.

I find it tough to believe LA can turn down that level of recruitment.

 

[riverman]

If Olshey has a plan to get a needle mover, he'll probably be busy meeting with that guy while LA says no thanks to the Lakers..

Just don't wipe your butt on your profile pic.

Awesome! LMA was tired of Batum, Parker's French accent will only piss him off.

the chances that old guys get injured is even higher on the Spurs roster, just what he wants!
