Rumor @TheNBACentral says Blazers looking to trade Aldridge

[Fez Hammersticks]

"The Portland Trailblazers are worried Lamarcus Aldridge will leave them in free agency. Might trade him if he doesn't commit soon." -@thenbacentral

This account has nearly 60k followers, not sure how legit this is.

 

[BBert]

"thenbacentral" LOL

 

[Rhal]

The accounts not legit for breaking news at all. Does a lot of tweeting about things already known.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

If he didn't commit last offseason...what would make them think he would commit now? lol

Not legit,IMO

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yeah, but it makes for great post-padding and arguments between S2 boardies.

*A thread to make you shit the bed.

 

[MickZagger]

Not.

Swayed.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Shut your whore mouth!

I thought it was written in stone this whole time.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Btw, I don't believe this either.

Unless Neil has something that he's worked on for a while I think this option is too late.

What do you mean?

I think they are feeding off of Jabari Young's article and LA's facetious comment

 

[H.C.]

I have a 100% belief that Aldridge will retire a Blazer.

And you're just as reliable as this source.

he will talk to reggie miller and then run to lakers

So he'll retire when the season is over and then un-retire before the start of next season?

Interesting...

The NY media has been all over LMA and the tone of their tweets/articles seem like they believe the Knicks have a legit shot at prying him away.

Chris Brousard was on NY Sports radio and laughed it off - "No way does he consider NY."

NY papers and "experts" are going to report every free agent all star is interested in signing with the Knicks. Next they'll be saying that Phil Jackson is going to talk Jordan into coming out of retirement.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Everyone knows that if the Blazers are going to trade LMA it will be to the Cavs for Kevin Love. Portland fans love Love!

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Being that he's an UFA the market would be slim without a commitment. And there are just a handful of (available?) players worth LA:

DMC - No way LMA considers Sacramento.

Who else? I'm not seeing a lot of options unless Neil goes into a re-tool and looks at quantity over a straight up swap, like a Jonas Valanciunas/DeRozen type package.

A lot of steam, like every deadline, but I think Neil doesn't do anything.

 

[noknobs]

So on the one hand we have legacy, more money, Aldridge's own words and Aldridge's own actions. On the other hand we have a tweet from a twitter account I didn't know existed a few minutes ago.

So really too close to call, could go either way.

 

[BigGameDamian]

So the handshake deal doesn't mean much anymore?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I bet LMA asked Kerr to start him so he could showcase his talents to NY fans.

You call one tweet from a random source, "a lot of steam?" smh

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Generally speaking.

Not the Blazers specifically.

It's been a lot quieter than than usual. I believe a lot of the significant moves have already been made (Rondo/JR/Mozgov, etc etc)

This is the very definition of Troll "Journalism". Can'tZano would be proud.

This forum would be so boring without Fez and BGD.
