Blazers expect to lose Aldridge

[gts]

"Sources told Stein that the Blazers have been pressing for more concrete signals from Aldridge's camp about his plans before the July 1 start of free agency and are ‎increasingly fearful they have little chance of retaining the All-Star big man once he hits the open market.

On the list of teams Aldridge will consider signing with are the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks, sources said. Aldridge is actually thinking more and more about a free-agent jump to the Lakers, sources told Stein this week."

I see him on Lakers. I really want him to go to Lakers, love them, Cousins to fall to them. Because then i think Knicks look as similar as you can to that situation.

I don't see him on any of the texas teams where they need to jump through hoops just to clear space to sign him.

If we can get Aldridge, then I wouldn't hesitate to part with Randle and 2 for Cousins.

What do you mean 'we'.

Thunder miss the playoffs once...and you jump ship?

[Rocketswin2013]

I hope he goes to the Lakers. Not for any of the reasons others might, but I do hope he goes.

I feel like Aldridge would be using the Lakers more for leverage than anything else, dude has Joe Johnson syndrome, he wants to go to a place where he can be "the man." San Antonio isn't a good fit either.

If he goes Spurs or Mavs, I can still root for him. If he goes to Houston, Cavs, or Lakers, I will consider him a traitor.

Also, holy crap didn't know he was looking at the Lakers.

Bro, I'm an Oregon-born Laker fan. We can be allies!

That is treason. It is the worst kind of Laker fan.

Damn man.. what about my feels?

[longtime lurker]

The Blazers moving Batum opened up some space for them. I feel like they might have enough room to sign both Marc Gasol and Aldridge. I don't know why they didn't sell him on this angle. Lillard, Gasol and Aldridge would be a formidable trio. Not to mention they'd have 2 young up and coming bigmen and could sign a some swing men to balance out the roster.

Ha, what a pipe-dream. I wish.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Damn, Blazers losing Aldridge, Batum, Wes, Lillard, RoLo, Walton, and Sheed all in one offseason.

Lucky they got that scrub Vonleh. Guess he's the new franchise player.

[RoseCity07]

Just heard it's official. He told the team he won't resign. Wow.

He sort of flip flopped on the franchise. I hope he goes to Dallas or the Spurs.

Any other team makes 0 sense. Work with Pop or go to hometown.

I wish we could get something in return like a draft pick.

Damn. Lillard is now our best player.. and the dude is overrated. Imagine if we lose Wes too..

If Lakers take Russell tonight we'll know they have their sights set on going after Aldridge
