    LaMarcus Aldridge tells The Oregonian he will not sign a contract extension with #Blazers this offseason, but plans to do so next summer.

    Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 1m
    Aldridge said it makes most sense financially to wait because he can sign for more years (5) and make more money ($108 million) next year.

    Aldridge cont: "... I just want to get a 5-year deal. I feel like that’s the best decision on my part."

    Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 1m LaMarcus Aldridge said he wants to finish his career in Portland. One reason why: "I want to be the best Blazer. Ever."

    If this is just him trying to say the rich things then it is a bad idea. I wouldn't be preaching wanting to be he best blazer unless you really do plan on re signing here...

    But, what if he's just trying to bait us into not trading him, because he's afraid that we'll stay good if we do, and he'd rather cripple us by leaving for nothing, giving his new team in Dallas one fewer contender to worry about?

    So this means bye-bye Wes next summer probably, Barton+CJ better show a hell of a lot because that spot will open up.

    Good to hear this news though!

    Wow what a boost to Lillards image...that's all I can think about if that scenario were to play out. LA would definitely take a step back from the spotlight, or he would be in it as a villain.

    He handed copies of the playbook to the spurs this year because he couldn't risk what a championship would do to the expectations of him re-signing.
