Lillard, Batum, Matthews are all still relatively young, and should improve. LMA himself is yet to turn 28. Why would he want to leave right now?
Steve Kyler @stevekylerNBA 19m Please lets all take a deep breath --- LaMarcus Aldridge has not asked for a trade.
LOL, so true. Usually it's the New York media thinking the NBA farm teams are just going to give away their best player.
Yeah, I was going to comment on STOMP's post, too. What is discouraging is that the LMA Hate Squad takes any rumor and treats it as legitimate, and that you're being "childish" if you question them on their idiotic trade scenarios.
Even if he did, just hope he keeps his mouth shut in the public. We don't need his value plummeting at the wrong time.
I don't know if this has been stated already, but what if we got Noah and signed a big like Josh Smith, Milsapp, or Al Jefferson to start at PF? I know Al sucks at defense, but maybe Noah could offset that a little?
Okay, so these reports of Aldridge asking to go to Chicago or Dallas could mean two things: 1) Aldridge is hearing all these rumors about being traded and he's trying to influence where he will be dealt. 2) The Blazers are trying to trade him and they wanted to lessen the fallout with the fanbase so they leak rumors that Aldridge asked to be traded to put the blame on him.
I don't think the Blazers are actively shopping him. I think they're getting calls and the offers might be getting better and better. It might get to a point where an offer is just too tempting not to take. But it would have to be big.
Could be either of those or it could just as easily be people making rumors up. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I don't believe for a moment that Steve Kyler has credible sources or in other words he knows. He's guessing.
3) They are complete bullshit, and people like you buy them and act childish when others call out the "sources" as being questionable, at best.
