In the past he has been active right at midnight addressing his priority #1 - think Hibbert - and this year we've got plenty of money to spend. Who do you think he'll be going after at midnight? Or do we sit back and wait on LA? I wouldn't put it past him to try and sign someone during LA's free agent tour to convince him to stay.
Oh he's definitely going after someone tonight. My guess is still Monroe. I don't doubt the aminu interest but he's not someone you make priority #1 when you have $40 mil in cap space.
I read somewhere that the meeting with Monroe will be on the first day of free agency. Not sure if that means tonight or tomorrow. I'm going to try and find the link.
Free agent forward-center Greg Monroe plans to meet with four teams in the first 24 hours of a free agency. The Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers are on Monroe's list on day one of free agency, and there is a possibility he meets with other teams, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...knicks-lakers-blazers-bucks-pistons/29523847/
If it's true that Aldridge doesn't feel like the team gives him enough love, Olshey better talk with LMA first.
It's from the movie Say Anything, where John Cusak's character is trying to win back Ione Skye's character by standing in her driveway with a boombox playing a heartfelt song. Imagine he's in front of LA's house.
LMA first (though its in essence already done) D Jordan second (gotta ask)(Olshey connection as a substitute father figure) Monroe third (best chance to actually sign here and play next to LMA) Aminu fourth (someone has to start at SF)
