@TheAmySchwartz
One month before free agency begins...and LaMarcus Aldridge's Portland home is for sale. Take it for what it's worth. #Blazers

Could it be?

I never really rated him, but if he goes to the Spurs, he'll probably become a beast.

[Lebron23]

I was checking his stats and bio. Last 2 years were the only times he averaged a double double in his NBA Career. And this season he was an All NBA Second Team.

[Haymaker]

I'd rather have Marc Gasol, but Aldridge is always welcome. I don't remember the last time a coveted free agent wanted to play with the Spurs.

[HOoopCityJones]

Wish there was some actual Trail Blazers fans around we could see panic.

[Rocketswin2013]

Portland will have to blow it up.

[gyu]

When he's around, bad things happen to the Spurs like 13 in 35 seconds or losing up 5 with 28 seconds.

I prefer M. Gasol (the closest player in the league to replace TD) but won't say no to Aldridge (bye-bye Splitter). But no to either if it means losing Green - need perimeter defense more than a big man.

[BlakFrankWhite]

Meh.....I'd still back Thunder to beat spurs

[Ruler]

Yesssss :D

I hope it's to SA, not some other BS team that he wouldnt excel on. Only thing I'm worried about is Kawhi being overshadowed :/

That actually looks legit...............usually when u see players in other teams uniforms it dont look right but that looks like hes already played for em.........

[buddha]

so glad Portland is going to suck. I don't hate the city of Portland, mainly just that ******* Damian Lillard.

[Spurs m8]

He looks mad in a Spurs uniform.

Lillard is going to get exposed next season tbh

Hopefully he won't cry about missing all star this time

[buddha]

Lillard is going to get exposed next season tbh

I expect that bitch to put up 25 ppg on under .400 shooting

[Smook A.]

This pretty much confirms he's leaving. Why else would you be selling your house right before free agency? :oldlol:

I can definitely see LMA ending up in either San Antonio or Dallas.

[pastis]

damn he will leave for SA.....

i think he is a little bit overrated but still a top 10 calibre of player who just isnt able to deliver top performances over a longer stretch.

would be funny to have him as the starting PF over Dirk....but LMA said it would be akward to start over dirk and not hearing dirk in the player introduction:lol

[CarlosBoozer]

Go to the spurs, big man! :bowdown:

[Springsteen]

Meh.....I'd still back Thunder to beat spurs

Tim Duncan destroyed Durant in the WCF closer, imagine him coming off the bench for Aldridge. :eek:

Honestly I felt like they should've gave him a shot cause Manu was playing like booty if I'm not mistaken.

I remember he was doing decent when he was on the Hawks.

Agreed. he played well with the pistons too

[toxicxr6]

Tim Duncan destroyed Durant in the WCF closer, imagine him coming off the bench for Aldridge. :eek:

No way Duncan comes off the bench next season.. He is still far too good as a starter.. If LMa comes to the Spurs I'm sure splitter gets traded.. Which is a good thing.. He was useless last season. I think Aldridge has a lot more potential in a good team.. People call him a playoff chucker but I think Portland is to blame for not having any consistent playoff players and Aldridge was forced to take more shots than he should of.. That won't happen on the Spurs. I think he can be a decent defender too and the Spurs will bring the best out of him on the defensive end.. He has some range Which will fit well with Duncan needing to play closer to the basket.


Now Danny green.. There are reports that teams may offer him as much as 12M/year which i think is crazy and if he wants that much I hope the Spurs let him go. I think you will find he gets exposed on another team.. Spurs have always been able to squeeze more out of thei guards.. Once they leave they tend to drop off a lot. If splitter is going to be traded then maybe the Spurs can trade for another 3&D player. Big men always have more value. Maybe they can trade for batum which apparently is on the trading block... And Portland will need another big if alridge leaves.


After that all Spurs need to do is address the point guard duties.. Maybe have to try and sign a better bigger backup in case Parker stinks it up again

Green cant go.. he and Leonard is the core/future of the spurs..

[toxicxr6]

Green cant go.. he and Leonard is the core/future of the spurs..

While green has been very good as a spur he put up what 11.7/4/2/1 something like that this season.. That is not worth 12M/year like some teams are apparently going to offer.. No thank you... Plus as I mentioned Spurs have a knack of getting the most out of their shooting guards..and I feel there are quite a few players available that could slot into that role quite well at a lot less price.. If green would accept something around the 6-8M/year I think the Spurs will keep him.. 12m/year is far too much and I feel whoever he signs with will end up regretting offering that much

[Dbrog]

I'd rather have Marc Gasol, but Aldridge is always welcome. I don't remember the last time a coveted free agent wanted to play with the Spurs.

My buddies and I were talking about this the other night. The answer might literally be Rodman (traded)...20 years ago :eek:

[Spurs m8]

As much as I love Danny Green, dude does struggle to find his own shot and can't handle the ball.
Its also easier to find a Danny Green type than a big fundamental.

If LeMarcus/Kawhi means trading Green, so be it tbh

Hopefully can keep them all though

[bdreason]

Why does everyone assume he's going to the Spurs? Is he from there?

As a Portland fan I do not think it would be catastrophic to lose LMA. We'd still make the playoffs next year.

If he's gonna leave he will let Portland know, and they will pull a sign-and-trade so we could get something back.

Obviously I don't want him to go, but if he does I won't be heartbroken, and I would only want to see him in a Spurs uniform....

[aj1987]

Beverly
Harden
Ariza
Aldridge
Howard

The spacing on that team would be RIDICULOUS! Harden, Bev, and Ariza are very good from deep and LMA basically only takes midrange jumpers. If they can use the spacing and keep setting up Howard for open shots, he should average career high in PPG. Well, only if LMA decides to go there.

[Spurs m8]

His kid lives in SA, idol is Duncan, all the right vibes and shit, this man and Kawhi will bring the Spurs their first B2B

Cheers

[Genaro]

I want him on the Lakers but I don't think he would go to a team in rebuild mode when he's not that young anymore.

[BlazerRed]

Damn. Lillard can carry us to the glory land now! Oh wait..

[SexSymbol]

Maybe he's getting a new hose in Portland? Never thought of that?

Don't be so ****ing naive:oldlol:

[BlazerRed]

Just saw a tweet from a Portland reporter and apparently he's selling his Portland home and building a house in Bend (3-4 hours from Portland, close to the mountains and much better weather). He's just going to be renting in Portland for the basketball season.

One can dream, please stay Mr Aldridge.

[Milbuck]

Aldridge is Kidd's nephew. They have the same agent too. I'm not saying he's coming here but I'd be shocked if he didn't.

top 4 in the east next season.


but aldridge to the spurs is more likely.

but if he goes to houston... man........... the league will have a problem ...

As a Blazers fan, Aldridge leaving would be hard, but I could live with him on San Antonio or Dallas. Just don't join Houston.

[Clifton]

Whose shoes would you rather fill, Duncan's or Dirk's?

I would be nervous to go to SA. They were one of the top 4 or 5 teams this year with a Duncan who's pushing 40. The expectations would be tough. If he joins the team and they don't win a title, everyone would hate him.

And I think that's what would happen... the Spurs minus Duncan run on fumes. Even at ~40 years old, it's his defense and intelligence on the court that permeates through the roster and makes them contenders. Even with Pop I don't think this team is a serious title threat without him. Not unless he is replaced by either a wrecking ball (like Cousins) or a player of Duncan's defensive ability and wiles (Marc Gasol).

Now, I think Dallas might have a roster he could take to the Finals, with the difference-makers on defense and in the backcourt (I'm assuming here that Tyson Chandler is still good. Do I need a late pass?)

Put Aldridge on that team and they win maybe 3-4 games more and get to the second round, no way the win the chip.

[SilkkTheShocker]

About time. He tired of losing in the first round every year. The Blazers suck balls

I don't think anybody views LA in the same light as Duncan, so it wouldn't be that much pressure. The real difference is that Aldridge has a legit chance at a championship with SA and it is unlikely in Dallas. The rewards definitely outweigh the risks, so he should go to SA.

[BlazerRed]

Snow is better weather?
Bend gets 300 days of sunshine a year on average. I'd take the few days with snow over 200 days of drizzle a year.

Plus yes, I much prefer snow to rain. Snow isn't wet (well, not often here in CO), rain is.

[KNOW1EDGE]

Snow is better weather?

FYI Bend is very hot during the summers and has all the seasons. Yes, it does snow there as well. It's close to Mt Hood but it is not the Arctic Circle.

I hope he stays, won't be surprised if he leaves, and hope that if he does leave he goes to SA.

It's really not that close to Mt Hood. In fact it's a good 2.5-3 hour drive from there. It's closer to the three sisters/mount bachelor.

So if Aldridge moves there, he would mostly be there during the summers. Why would he want to be somewhere "very hot"?

You're right, he should move to Utah.

What? No. I'm just saying, that your free time comes in the summer if you are an NBA, and a "very hot" summer does not sound ideal to me.

[veilside23]

wont be surprise if LMA walks and blazers get the 1st pick next year :D

[RoseCity07]

It's funny how all teams that called him overrated are on their knees trying to s*ck Aldridge's dick to get him to come. It's the Dwight "Stay" campaign all over again:roll: Only worse, he isn't on your team as a free agent:oldlol:

Never thought I'd see the day where three texas teams drop to their knees to beg and open wide.
