Even Bosh isn't at the same level they have him at.
I like LA, he is a fine player, but a big man who is coming off a season where he averaged less than 1 block does not sniff max money.

Or less than 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Seriously, ive never understood the big hoopla with Aldridge. Hes a damn good jump-shooting big man, and hes young - but thats all he is, nothing more.
If only...
I'm convinced that TP was responsible for getting Batum on the Spurs radar in the first place. I hope TP has started already putting on the full court, free agent press on him, during their summer practices for the FNT.
As I've said before, the Blazers will face a significant challenge in the coming 2-3 year window. They will be seriously challenged in trying to keep this young bunch together and happy.
There's no doubt that the Blazers have a young, good-looking, compe ive squad. Yet that could be their biggest hurdle. They have a very bright future, if ard can keep the team together. That will be his biggest challenge. No matter how deep Allen's pockets are, they simply will not be able to pay everyone. At some point, human nature will take over and these young guys are ALL going to want both extended minutes and extended contracts.
I seem to recall just this past offseason, weren't there some mild rumblings from Rudy Fernandez about how his PT would be affected?
Remember, no matter how rosy and cozy the team atmosphere is now, human nature WILL eventually take over. Good luck.

Oden is more important to the future than LMA.
Guys, it's a non-issue. Whatever Tlong says is the truth, he speaks nothing but the truth, you all know this!!
What were we thinking?
The Blazers will find it difficult to keep all their players together. After watching him play a lot the last couple years, I'm not sure that Aldridge is worth a long term max contract. He doesn't shot block, rebound or play great defense, and he never takes over a game in the last few minutes. He doesn't have a "go to" move that will produce under pressure defense. Given all that I don't see how he should be paid 12 mil.
This is the Darius Miles screwup that will end up counting 18 million dollars against Portlands cap. Welcome to
HAHAHAHAHAH
Non issue
Aldridge is no better than a healthy Ilgauskas. Actually, I take that back, Ilgauskas has better defese, presense and block ratio
Aldridge is as good as big Z on offense and Dirk on defense
*BUMP*
Apparently it does son: http://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-anton...aldridge-2672/
Y'all bragged that he Spurned my Lakers. From the looks of things, I'm kind of glad he did. He did us a favor.
Look on the bright side DPG, at least he comes off the books in 2019. 730 days is not a long time when you really look at it from my perspective as a non-Spur Fan
