    Plus you have to trade him to a fringe contender team.

    Golden state, Indy, Houston, okc, chicago,etc

    I think really it comes down to two teams Clippers and the Bulls. Here's the deal, Aldridge wants to go to one of the Texas teams but neither the Spurs, Rockets or Mavs have the young star player that the Blazers really want. Clippers play in a big city with big city lights and they have the young star to send back in return while Chicago has Joakim Noah and (Rumor) LA said he wanted to go to Chicago. Now we can think of players\package deals to trade for Aldridge such as Kevin Love, Al Horford and Anthony Davis but the only way that's happening in though some three way trade unless Aldridge signs a contract extension and I don't see that happening.

    Aldridge doesn't give a shit about big lights. Have you been paying attention? He is reserved and likes not being in the limelight.

    I can see a clipper trade because of the connections and contention, but it has nothing to do with "media market". But who do they send back? Fuck Blake griffin!

    Do we really know what he wants? He's made comments that alluded to his dislike of being in a "fishbowl." Maybe he wants to be a second or third fiddle on contending team in a place that isn't as basketball crazy as Portland?

    Well it would need to be Blake Griffin + I'm not sure. I just think those two teams and maybe Golden State I guess might be the best trade partners for both teams. You have to meet in the middle it can't just be one sided.

    Well I guess you're right; but if he wants to go to a Texas state; it's not really a bright light destination. Yes the market is bigger; but hardly one of a player that wants stardom.

    Golden state is obviously the best plausible trade partner

    I guess that's my point, maybe he wants a place where he's a smaller fish in a bigger pond (so to speak) a place where he might be in a bigger media market, but could end up being more anonymous - especially in a city where the NBA team is the second or third most important pro franchise. Dallas, Houston, etc.
