LaMarcus Aldridge: I keep telling Damian Lillard I’ll return to Trail Blazers

[exstatic]

I think you’re overvaluing what Chicago can get if Markkanen demands to be traded. Porter played like 15 games and is set to make around 28 million (easily one of the worst contracts) and not many teams would want to pay Markkanen, a big, substantial money the following year. So getting back DeRozan and Collins seems to be an obvious win.

But I am curious to know your opinion. How much do you think the Spurs would have to give up?? A second? A first??

Why would Markennen demand a trade? It’s a very un-Euro thing to do. Even if he did, they could surely get a better return than a rental DeRozan and Collins in some 3 way grab bag trade. They would likely market him alone, and accept bids.

Rumour has it, he wants out.

So, then Chicago showcases him as the big piece in any trade, and markets him alone.

I guess we’ll agree to disagree on that too. Chicago has a few bad contracts so it would be in their best interest to try to get rid of those in the process.
