Exclusive Lamarcus Aldridge Will NOT Return This Off-Season (and why that's not a bad thing)

I only create threads for videos based on a topic that I think the entire forum would be interested in discussing, and that I think would be a good thread to have in general. So here you go: I list 3 reasons why Aldridge won't come back this off-season, and explain why he wouldn't fit in as our starting power forward.

 

Seems like a pretty short conversation...

He’s not a free agent.

Not worth trading for (don’t really have the assets.)

If the Spurs did want to trade him, this offseason makes very little sense. The deadline makes more sense — if they even wanted to — which I doubt and I’m not sure what we could trade for him anyway.

 

As long as he yield to Dame this time around I’d accept him back. Remember the days when Dame had to walk on egg shells for this guy? I hope he has matured since then.

 

I think if he come back, he will be playing back up PF and C. Collins have the best perimeter defense out of any big men we have had in a long time. He make the most sense at starting PF. And Nurk compliment Collins game well with his size and playmaking. Aldridge can come off the bench and focus on scoring which is really his thing. But I do agree with that we are probably are not gonna be able to trade for him this off season

 

Not interested.

 

I'd rather have Kevin Love. He'd fit better with the Blazers.

 

Fake news. The title should start “Why I think..”

 

Bullshit man. You think the CBA is fake news...?

You can tell me I'm wrong if it happens (it wont).

 

He is saying the title of the thread is a bit misleading is all. He is saying you should have put, "why I think" LA will not return. At first when I saw it, it did look a bit like it was some official release. I think that was Jinx was thinking.

 

Makes sense, and obviously some sort of miracle could happen where we somehow have the pieces to trade for Aldridge, Aldridge, but that's what itd be, a miracle, and that isn't even taking into account other factors. I dont see how we'd gather together $19M in salary this offseason thatd be worthwhile to trade for Aldridge.

I also asked for an people to explain why they disagree and if they think there's a chance, to explain how it could happen. Would've liked King to explain how it could happen, which could've made his point that the title should've started with "I think". Discussion is why I made this thread, not to be called "fake news" with no explaination.

Also, starting off a video title with "Why I think..." would result in the video performing worse. Bold titles grab attention. So I never focus on the exact semantics of a title and instead, focus on the point that's trying to be made. This video is outperforming at least my last 10. Maybe should've changed the thread title but I just roughly copy the video title.

 

Why would the Blazers release an official statement that a player not on their team won't be traded for?

 

A package with Whiteside or Ariza and our 1st round pick for Aldridge could match salary and would interest SAS.

I think its unlikely we see an Aldridge trade, although is unlikely we see a trade for any specifically named player. But it could be entirely reasonable if the Spurs rebuild and the Blazers try to contend that this type of trade happens.

Its not as though this is some ludicrous unreasonable trade idea fans are coming up with such as Milwaukee trading Giannis to Portland.

 

I assume HCP meant a story that had inside info, or anonymous source, vs what this is, fan speculation.

 

Whiteside is a free agent.......

 

Speculation that you can't trade free agents?

 

Yes, so he could be part of a sign and trade.

 

Incorrect, there are many sign and trades every offseason.

 

You must not have watched the video.

Bones addresses why the sign and trade wouldn't likely have a chance of working in this scenario. Also, free agency and Ariza's team decision are both after the draft.
