    Don't the Lakers have oodles of cap room? They could just sign LA.

    I still believe Aldridge is staying. This year was an anomaly and he's a smart man. I doubt he decides to leave unless Spurs can offer him a contract and still keep their core. The Spurs are the only team I would fear taking him away from us.

    There is absolutely no incentive for Aldridge to go to the Lakers.

    Not really. Howard didn't get anymore endorsements in Los Angeles. Those deals happen when the team is relevant. They aren't relevant now

    So. he also has a apartment next to Durant in Miami. Does that mean he's going to Miami too?

    How do I know this? My friend lives right across from Durant in Miami

    But he doesn't. He lives in Portland because he spends the most time there

    Aldridge didn't get a max contract the last time around, and imho Tellum/Foucher are coaching him on how to get one for sure (with whatever incentives are possible) this go around . . .

    With the Blazer organization I don't think he has to do much other than just sign on the dotted line...Other teams know this so if they have any prayer of signing him, they know they have to max him out.

    I believe the Blazers are ready and prepared to offer him max. There is nothing he can do to help or hinder that objective.

    If we need to win game 4 to keep LaMarcus then maybe LaMarcus could help the cause by making a fucking shot.

    Seriously, has he ever shot this badly? He was lucky to get rim last game.

    I don't know if you were being serious. But he was absent last night. His teammates were absent the first two games. Maybe he just thought hell with it 'if it dont matter to them, it dont matter to me' and was caught off guard when he realized they came to play.

    Perhaps they will all show tomorrow night.

    LA had a better 2nd half, and his D was OK last night. I just wish he was a more willing passer, but the problem is with the offense not providing him any cutters to hit.

    I was serious.

    And I think he'll be back.
