As it stands, assuming Aldridge signs a maximum contract extension with the Blazers next summer, his annual salary will pencil in at 30 percent of the Blazers' cap, wherever it stands when he signs the deal. Then he would receive 7.5 percent annual increases for the length of his contract.
Anything can happen between now and this summer. But Aldridge said he wanted to retire in Portland. He said he wanted to be the "best Blazer ever."
