    I think he would have an even better shot at winning a ring (or rings) in CLE because of LeBron and Kyrie or GSW because they are already title contenders and their best layers are still young. If riding someone else's coattails to multiple championships is his highest priority he should force a sign and trade to one of these destinations.

    But they do have a HOF first class coach and arguably the a top 5 PF/C of all time. Now the Blazers could offer him the most money but that's something that not many big men players have the chance to do.

    That HOF first class coach is close to retirement, as is the Top 5 PF/C of all time.

    I could just see them luring Aldridge with that scenario, then those guys bail. Especially Ginobli -- it's time for the King of the Euro Flop to turn in his sneakers, I think.

    Well, they can both do better - but even if they both play to their potential we're not advancing.

    At the end of the day Lillard is the suppose to be the presumed sidekick superstar. Players leave teams to join other other stars not to join role players like Batum.

    Luring in Aldridge could get Pop and Duncan to stay a few more years. Aldridge could just sign short term, get his ring(s) and come back. Who knows?

    Batum is a role player. A very good, multi-talented role player. He usually plays his role quite well, and did so in Game 1. That loss is in no way shape or form on Batum for not carrying the team or doubling his already pretty good output. He cannot, will not, and is not expected to carry the team. Damian Lillard and Aldridge are supposed to carry the team. Damian in particular has self promoted himself to the max as a player who will carry the team. This is on Dame. Not Batum.

    Could happen. Either way, Aldridge would be a fool not to interview other teams. I don't think his mamma raised no fool. Or something like that.

    I think this is what's making the backlash on his performance so swift. If you're going to hype yourself, you gotta live up to your own hype. This is the same whether you play basketball or make phones.

    Exactly. I don't recall the quotes in that one article before the series started, but again he was shooting his mouth off about how he was going to show the world how good he is (my words not his).

    He didn't.

    But he still can.

    The Blazers have always been blessed to have great power forwards.

    This is ridiculous! At least these idiots could wait until after the playoffs to speculate on free agent moves.

    I can't remember, did LeBron say he was going to stay with the Cavs during his first stint in Cleveland? (not being sarcastic, I really don't remember).
