It went so badly, no one even cared

That's what I think as well. If it had went well Morey would be blowing his roster up yet again right now.

Couple minutes ago: "Jared Zwerling: Source close to LaMarcus Aldridge's situation said he will not be returning to Portland. Spurs, Lakers, Mavs, and Rockets are front-runners."

Shit.

"On the bright side, the next free agency won't have a lot of talent, so less chances for disappointment."

Shit.

If true, let's go get Green or Monroe.

La for Bledsoe let's do it.

 

[BBert]

Yeah, Pops, Duncan, Parker, showed up wearing ALL of their championship rings.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Holy shit Chandler is gonna be 37 by the time that contract is up...

 

[illmatic99]

Funny to see these teams make rash decisions to try to lure Aldridge. And he's only going to 1 team.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Yeah just what we need! Another combo guard!

Shit.

Just so you know, Ric Bucher says he has a source involved in the negotiations that says previous reports about LMA not returning to the Blazers were wrong.

It just shows how the league views Aldridge. I wish some of us fans felt the same way

 

[PDXFonz]

But did they show him their retirement plans?

 

[BonesJones]

I hate this shit

It's also desperation. Some teams NEED to make the playoffs. Adding LA to a lot of western teams turns them into treadmill playoff teams.

 

[illmatic99]

Oh Olshey LOVES Bledsoe, fyi

If his knees check 0ut, I'd love that. He can guard SGs

They would also know that Aldridge doesn't want to just make the playoffs or he would have signed with the Blazers the moment he could. They are trying to design packages that show him they can win with him

He is 6'1" though... We'd have the midget squad back-court and the leagues largest front-court lol

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.

Bled is a terrific defender. He's not tall, but has ridiculously long arms. Suns viewed him as a SG with Dragic when they first got him.

Imagine Bledsoe and Lillard offensively. I know defense will be an issue but Bledsoe is a tough defender.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Phoenix also has 3 additional future 1st rounders

I mean I guess if his knees were good it's worth a shot. But we better be getting a pick back also. I know Bledsoe is called mini-LeBron, he is one hell of an attacker, just never truly paid attention to his defense.
