He'll be locked in his bedroom with the Sears Catalog forever.
No talk by Tlong about the horrid extension for Aldridge?
5 year $65-$70mill extension.
He's making Al Jefferson money at minimum or more. Jump shooting bigmen who have the nickname ghost mode shouldn't make that money.

If he develops into an Amare Stoudemire type talent surely he'll be earning that type of paycheck.
You figure that Rashard Lewis is making 22 million for shooting 3's that's not a bad price for a big man as talented as Aldridge.
I still cant believe that.![]()
There are a lot of reasons why I could see a team taking Aldridge over Amare, but he'll never be the kind of talent Amare is.
Because Bynum making at least 1$ makes sense to you?
Because Bynum made Howard beseech: "no mas!"...and we rang for the 15th time.
Another one of your copy and paste jobs.. I'm sure we are all ing sick of reading this you damn pooch
I'll just bet you are.
tee, hee.
Yeah, they probably overpaid. No one should be making max mney like that unless theyre a franchise player.
Good for aldridge though.
He's better than that softy Pau!
^Tlong fails yet again.
Pau Gasol's 2008-09 stats followed by Aldridge's:

By fouling out ?
Well, you can clearly see that Aldridge is a better value.
Only if you failed grade 2 maths.
Blazers overpaid for both Roy and Aldridge. If the players weren't willing to take team-friendly contracts, the Blazers should have let them both hit the market next summer. There would have been virtually no downside from that approach as they have committed the max to Roy and nearly 90% of max to Aldridge. Signing these two also severely weakens their position next summer when Oden comes looking for his extension.
C'mon, Cully, don't recycle your own material, you're better than that!
A good signing, much better than signing underacheivers like Artest and Odom.

You can't possibly believe that.
The Lakers bought 5 seasons of Artest plus 4 seasons of Odom for the same price that Blazers are paying for 5 seasons of Aldridge.
Lakers paid below market prices for both of their players while the Blazers bid against themselves and overpaid for both Roy and Aldridge.
I think Aldridge will prove to be worth his contract.
Odom has been an underacheiver his entire career and Artest is a cancer.

Time will tell.
