LaMarcus Aldridge

[Proudiddy]

I previously brought up Jimmy Butler, which i would love, but problem is, a lot of that situation would be out of our hands. Jimmy is an RFA, and the Bulls have said they would match any offer. Not to mention, we have to clear cap,room to make him the offer.

But, what about this... i'm sure with everyone's disenchantment with Al following last season, you wouldnt mind dealing him away prior to FA... Hendo hinted at the possibility of opting out. Aldridge has been non-committal to the Blazers. Cho is intimately familiar with Aldridge from his time in Portland, so there's a connection.

So, trade Al to a tank-team with room, as his contract would be yet another asset to them as it will expire after this season. Hope Hendo opts out. Make a max offer to Aldridge. We then have a versatile, matchup-problem big who also plays defense. We draft a scoring wing. If we do all of this, we have the best offseason in the second incarnation era.

Yeah I've heard that, but money talks. And San Antonio isn't getting any younger either.

We have a better chance at Curry in 2017 than LMA.

We also have his comp on the bench who we refuse to develop.

The only big UFA who will garner multiple max offers that would come here would be Steph or a local guy. Aldridge, no chance.

Yea no way we could pry Aldridge away from more appealing options like Portland, Dallas, or SA. Our best shot is a guy like Deandre Jordan but he wouldn't help much because ultimately we still need perimeter shooting.
