If Portland Trail Blazers fans aren't freaked out enough after their team lost 100-86 to the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 on Sunday, here's some news from a report by*the Oregonian's Jason Quick on the future of soon-to-be free agent LaMarcus Aldridge:
Some Blazers players have already said they are worried free agency will take Aldridge away from Portland this summer. Earlier this month, before a home game, a Blazers player estimated the chances of him returning to Portland at 50-50.
…
"I don't want it to be perceived that I'm not happy, or I'm not staying on because I'm not signing a three-year deal,'' Aldridge told The Oregonian last July. "It's just financially smarter to wait ... and I'm looking forward to signing the five-year deal when the chance comes.''
But one Blazers player cautioned that Aldridge already has enough money. Happiness is what he is truly seeking, and that could be found in being closer to family in Texas.
It's the tricky thing about Aldridge. No one ever really knows where he stands. He is fickle. Moody. And unpredictable.
Can't win big with him. Quality player, but not elite.
Put him next to a defensive center.
Still chucks too much.
I'll take him on the Spurs. Lets see what he looks like with an elite coach and quality depth.
He shot 13-34 last night... that's just ing embarrassing for a big man. Dude is way overrated and soft.
Didn't see the game. Isn't most of their team hurt?
The entire team shot like last night. Especially Lillard. Just one of those nights.
b-but I thought Lollard was the best player in the NBA?!

b-but I thought the Spurs were going to repeat?!

I thought Mathew's injury was a non-issue?

Lollard = Beno's
Been wanting LA on the Spurs for a long time, but it's not likely to happen imo
, who's gonna fill their void of fall-away mid-range jumpers?
We can give him cash coke and es....what can yall offer...Gay sex and The Alamo....
Hes not coming to Houston so don't even start that bull . Dragic and Rondo didn't come and neither will LA. If he leaves Portland it will be to Dallas.
Why would they be worried
He is a soft jump shooter
All that size for nothing![]()
Shot (38.2%) worst than that pathetic Duncan (39.6%).
He won't go to Dallas unless Dirk retires.
