Notice Young: Blazers “Would Execute a Trade For Aldridge,” Per Source

[mook]

I wonder if Cuban is considering picking him up at fire sale prices? Cuban has always been one to go for expensive, past their prime, former all stars. I wonder of Aldridge wants out of SAS badly enough to agree to play center next to 100 year old Dirk. DAL is, after all, home for him.

BNM

Hmmm. I can sort of see that working. I mean, not working well enough for them to do better than the 7th seed, but I can see Cuban going for it.

The one guy I can see him coexisting with and actually succeeding is LeBron. If Cleveland deals Love, you could see LaMarcus filling in the same role but playing better defense.

Well, of course, the last thing we want to see is Aldridge succeed. I was thinking about a Love for Aldridge swap last night. Only in my scenario, CLE gets even worse, doesn't make it back to the finals (ending LeBron's streak of finals appearances) and Aldridge is the scape goat.

Well.....I guess Stotts made Lamarcus look pretty good back in the day...now he's being overshadowed by David Lee

Yeah, but as a Blazers fan I'm sort of resigning myself to the inevitable success of that bastard and also us not getting Paul George. In my worst case scenario George goes to Cleveland for Love and they trade maybe Frye/Schumpert for Aldridge.

That'd be a pretty badass team. I absolutely hate LMA, but I couldn't help myself but really enjoy seeing what LeBron could do with it.

I'd love to see that. Aldridge really isn't particularly useful without the ball in his hands and good luck with getting to work with the ball when you play with James and Irving. His defense has also grown...ponderous. It probably isn't any better than Love's these days but Love at least provides more spacing on offense. Next year, we'll be hearing that Aldridge feels his talents aren't being properly utilized in Cleveland and he just needs a new environment.

I would not be surprised to see the Lakers offer their pick for him

Do you think he regrets leaving here now?

oh yeah...big time

 

[craigehlo]

I don't see many teams needing an overpriced, soft PF in the top 10. All those teams would make a deal with the Knicks for KP if they were looking to pull off a blockbuster for a better PF at fraction of the salary. Sactown at 10 seems like the only plausible deal. Please make it happen Kings!

Winning 60+ games every year isn't good enough for him?

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

According to Stephen A. Smith, LaMarcus Aldridge is "very, very unhappy in San Antonio right now. He feels the Spurs have compromised him, his productivity. They have hurt his game. As a result, he wants out and he wants out in the worst way. He wants to be gone."

The San Antonio Spurs are looking to trade Aldridge ahead of the draft.

Aldridge signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Spurs in 2015 and he has a player option for the 18-19 season.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha damn Spurs wanted him to be a team player ya know

 

[santeesioux]

I think he thinks he's still the guy that scored 40 plus in those two Houston playoff games. He probably thinks he can be a number 1 on a team that good, and gets incredibly jealous when another guy on his team gets more attention like Kawhi, Dame, and Roy.

He doesn't want to be coached at this point. Pop would chew out Duncan and other vets late in their career if he thought they were dogging it or not playing within the system. He's too fragile an ego now.

 

[trailblazer18]

And Pau Gasol...

BNM

Gasol looked awful in the playoffs.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Gasol looked awful in the playoffs.

Yet the Spurs want to keep him (and have convinced him to opt out of the last year of his contract and re-sign with them for less money) and want to move Aldridge.

But he's close to his family. I don't understand.

Even as someone who didn't outright hate Aldridge despite what he did, I admit this is making me happy.

 

[blue9]

I'd trade Meyers for him.

Fuck no. Meyers at $10M is far less of a liability than LA at $20-whatever-M.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

A league source told the Express-News that Portland Trail Blazers would execute a trade for Aldridge to reunite him with star Damian Lillard. Aldridge, who played nine seasons in Portland, but left the Blazers in 2015 to sign with the Spurs. The Blazers haven’t closed the door completely on a possible return. The team would be willing to complete a trade for Aldridge for matching salary only, according to a league source.

If Aldridge is coming back here, it better be for MAJOR cap relief.

Turner/Crabbe/Meyers for Aldridge +

I'd trade Meyers for him.
