Sources: Suns have legitimately closed the gap in pursuit of LaMarcus Aldridge. Tyson Chandler, perimeter talent. They're a real factor.

[spursfan09]

The Suns? Are you kidding me? Really?

[Duncan2177]

[Malik Hairston]

I'd love to knock the Suns out of the playoffs again. A little harder to do without Splitter, but still doable.

That's... kind of the team Portland has already.

Suns?

This isn't true... Suns can very easily offer Morrii (12 per year), Tucker, Goodwin, and multiple draft picks to Portland rather than Bledsoe. Similarly, they could swap out some picks and add Len, Warren, or rights to Bogdanovic if they needed to.

While it's true the Suns can't sign Aldridge to a 4-year Max outright, their sign/trade offer is very compe ive a return for Portland and would net Aldridge a 5-year Max, so money isn't the problem.

Sign and trades no longer allow players to sign five year deals or get max raises under the newest CBA. The money for him to leave would be the same either in a sign and trade or in an outright signing.

So I know this will sound like a TSPENCE or other throwing against the wall, plus it looks like a real source(s) may he on this.
And this is double hearsay but...

I friend of mine is good friends with LMA's kid's mom. He just got done talking to her and she said that LMA told her the decision has been made. He will be a spur. No word on when he will announce, but she said the decision has been made.

God I hope it's true

Straight from the Baby Mama's mouth? Sounds legit.

[timvp]

If he signs with the Suns, I'd just laugh. I mean, I'm not sold that's even a playoff team since PHX's guards don't really have enough playmaking ability to take advantage of LMA and Chandler.

[goliath]

The Suns? Might as well take the extra money and stay in Portland.

That's not even as good as POR tbh

no way he doesn't just re-sign in Portland with Damian Lillard over playing for the Suns.

In my eyes, the choice for LMA is quite simple: money with the Blazers, rings with the Spurs.
