Exclusive The official Lamarcus Aldridge free agency thread

Yah he's so sold he's taking second meetings and dinners

think about it...the fantastic food......

 

[illmatic99]

Good point!

So a flight from either pdx or oak means he should be there now. If Aldridge doesn't see Dame tonight, its prolly all for naught. Again, going back to the story of Dames trip to LA was revealed by Dame's agent...

 

[BBert]

Every team Aldridge meets with tells their media schills their team is the front runner so those other teams may as well not waste their time.

This is golden.

Word is that LaMarcus needs a little more time and is genuinely torn by the choices in front of him.

Man, it's going to be depressing when Aldridge announces that he's taking his talents to Sacramento.

 

[santeesioux]

Fucking hell, is he still having dinner? I want to hear how he's going to be hosted by another 4 teams tomorrow already.

This is gross

Desperate and pathetic

Touche, he was traded. But made a stir, right? Multiple teams We're going after him. One more season, he would've been doing the same thing as LMA. And he was an unproven playoff player, notoriously bad defense. I guess I'm just butt hurt about the treatment haha. Either way, any team would love to have LMA on their team. Regardless of only making it to the second round. And agreeing with most of you, Isola is so sour about the Knicks lol.

I hear that Chris Paul guy really sucks. Never made it out of the second round.

Hes just trolling the Western Conference teams. He'll re-sign soon enough.

 

[Cippy91]

Did Damian really fly out to meet him and is the meeting gonna happen today or are we just being fed bullshit? not sure what to believe

And then last season happened. Even if he was outright lying at the time, it kept the media from running a lazy story about him wanting to leave every day.

What was worse is when they started running these stories during the playoffs about him leaving

@ramonashelburne: To sum up Aldridge race: Spurs, Suns are leaders.Portland trying for a Hail Mary. Mavs trying...Lakers flailing. Knicks in the green room

A hail mary huh? well that's promising lol

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

It definitely did not add to my playoff enjoyment. Imagine that against months of the same story ran for months.

Seeing as she had written us off since the beginning of FA, and even before that, its an upgrade on our ranking. Wev got a chance! Lol

 

[Sedatedfork]

Dame starts rambling, and LMA says "you had me at hello"

 

[Blazers Roy]

Why are the Suns even a factor for him? they don't even have a 2nd all-star,Knight's nickname is "Brandumb Knight" and Bledsoe is injury prone.
Is it so tempting for him to live in Arizona and play alongside Alex Len?

I'm sorry, but after this off-season i simply don't think LA has the required intelligence to win a ring and even if he will get one as a gift he still wouldn't know on which finger to put it on.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Suns are friend zone material

 

[Cippy91]

Honestly I think it's only between two teams. Spurs and Portland. Spurs win. So I don't even know why Dame is trying if it's even true he is meeting with him today. What could he tell Lamarcus to change his mind? Lamarcus will never be happy wherever he goes. Will be jealous of Kawhi after duncan and manu leave. I read that in his whole 9 years the closest team mates of his in order were Jamal Crawford, Wes, and Alonzo Gee. THREE dudes out of 9 years. Two of them only playing here for a year.

He's always been mercurial and that should have tipped off management at some point that you can't count on him like other franchise players.

You were all told he was lying. He has wanted out for a couple years.
ANYTHING other than "i stayed for the money" will be a lie

Apparently Neil and him have a good relationship though so who knows. Should of never believed he would sign 5 years here. Dude held a grudge about being the "shadow" behind Roy,Oden, and Lillard eventually. Jealous. Even though we did everything around him

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If LMA still goes elsewhere, Dame will go HAM when we play LMA's new team. He's the type to take this personally.
