    If Aldridge is looking for an easy road to the Championship, which is what everyone is hinting at, he should just ask the Blazers to drop him to the D League for a season.

    Or man up and dont take a max. Just a nice healthy secure contract that allows us enough money to go find a 3rd all star or upgrade a couple positions, which will in turn hopefully make our bench even stronger.

    Larry Coon (via twitter) believes LMA is the Lakers #1 choice on the FA market.

    The evidence that the Lakers will get Aldridge, Matthews, and Lillard keeps accumulating.

    I am sure it is. But LA or NY would be a big mistake for LMA. I would be really surprised if that was his choice. I think he would be miserable in those two massive media markets. He should consult with Dwight Howard first.

    Where should LMA sign?

    Sign on the signature line just below Neal Olshey’s signature.

    I'm sure LMA is #1/1b on almost every teams FA board. Only the Texas teams really worry me.

    Wouldn't it be easier just to make a move for Kobe instead of turning our entire starting lineup to the Lakers?

    I wouldn't give up Steve Blake for Kobe. And I'd give up Steve Blake for a homeless guy's dirty socks.
