    I'm sure he will head to GS once he's a free agent for a free ring

    I hate to say it, but this might be our best/most realistic move to better the team.

    With that said I would sit Dame down and make sure he is cool with it and then I would sit LMA down and make sure its crystal clear he is our third option and the need is for him to focus on rebounding, defense and setting picks.

    Probably what Pop told him...

    If he isnt 100% agreement, no thanks....

    Because not even Orlando can be that dumb. But I think they'd do Ross+25 for him.

    League sources inform Jabari Young of San Antonio Express-News that the Portland Trail Blazers have not ruled out a reunion with All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who the Spurs are said to be shopping. Portland could attempt to bring the polarizing big man back with a combination of first-round draft picks and current players.

    A league source told the Express-News that Portland Trail Blazers would execute a trade for Aldridge to reunite him with star Damian Lillard. Aldridge, who played nine seasons in Portland, but left the Blazers in 2015 to sign with the Spurs. The Blazers haven’t closed the door completely on a possible return. The team would be willing to complete a trade for Aldridge for matching salary only, according to a league source.

    The Blazers do have three first-round picks in the draft, starting with the No. 15 selection, as well as No. 20 and 26.

    The Spurs interest in moving Aldridge would likely depend on how much salary they can free up in pursuit of a marquee free agent.

    If Portland were inclined to bring Aldridge back, he would be the second, or possibly third, scoring option behind point guard Damian Lillard and shooting guard CJ McCollum, who has flourished since the initial Aldridge-focused setup dissolved in 2015.

    If it was as simple as his game declining, that would be one thing, but he still has the piss poor attitude that made me completely okay with him leaving in the first place. He's a cancer. He clearly never bought into the Spurs culture. Why would we want him back here?

    So what would you give to get both Aldridge and Danny Green?

    This might be the best thread I've ever read.


    LA better not be a blazer again. Ever. You burned the bridge, and we have no one that wants to fix that bridge.

    No thank you. I've seen enough of his game-stalling back down moves to last a lifetime. I'd rather draft three new rookies than take Aldridge back.
