Perhaps maybe we will sign Whiteside to a one year 10 mil deal then we will see how we are doing at the trade deadline. If we wait until then Spurs will probably know they aint making the playoff so it should be easier to get him. Perhaps Whiteside and Simons for him
LaMarcus talks some more; would be willing to go to Portland if Spurs want to go younger. https://www.nba.com/article/2020/04/15/qa-lamarcus-aldridge
Salaries wouldn't match up. Still would need several million more added to it. Not sure that trading a young prospect for a guy who will be 35 at the start of next season (assuming there is a next season) and is in the last year of his contract, is the smartest of ideas ever presented on here. Especially one on the downside of his career.
sports writers are combing twitter to look for any basketball ink right about now....all it took was an Aldridge emoji this time
man I would love it if a dude on our roster openly talked about playing for other teams. It would be great!
You're correct... I totally overlooked at this season is over in terms of moves being made. I would think one year left on his contract increases the chances he ends up in Portland. What do you think?
Nah, the amount of his contract kills any chance of him being a Blazer next year unless for some reason he gets bought out which I doubt. He's a free agent target in the summer of 2021 but it's highly unlikely he'd be a Blazer before that point. I could definitely see him finishing his career in Portland as a free agent though.
Thanks, we're fine at home. Luckily my wife has been getting paid through all of this so that part of it is the least of our worries. How are you holding up? I hope all is well with your family too.
