    It's not tampering, it's just bullshit. How has Aldridge never fit in exactly? The city and team love him. And the team has not "made it really clear" that Lillard is the face of the franchise instead of Aldridge... Even Lillard says it's Aldridge's team.

    I don't think random ramblings on a sports blog constitutes tampering. If it did, this board would screw the Blazers over every summer.

    They're grasping at straws. Teams like Lakers and Knicks have cleared cap space to sign a superstar but they're not going to get one. Sucks to be them.

    It's a major radio host though. I've lost all respect for her.

    Furthermore, it's stupid. Getting Aldridge would hinder the development of Randle. Keep your hands off our players.

    I'd consider him Kobe's ball boy if he was a Laker

    I'm not going to even try to make sense of this article. Literally it's :smiley-lol_hitting:


    But no, it's not tampering. Media can say whatever they want.

    If that article was tampering, Mike Conley's agent could sue the hell out of RipCity 2

    Two of the biggest lies in the world. 1. The Lakers are attractive to FA. 2. UCLA is still a great basketball program.

    "Aldridge is arguably one of the best power forwards in the game today"

    Credibility (if they had any) lost.... :crazy:

    Shelbourne called the Afflalo deal before it happened. Don't be quick to disregard such a report.

    This article is hilarious. LA may go somewhere else but it wont be to the lakers. That team sucks and at this point he wants to win, not be kobe's bitch.

    I'm just wondering if LA and his agent is one oh her sources. LA knew ahead of time about the potential deal.
