It'd have to be a sign and trade with the Blazers.
I'm thinking Doc is right. Our meeting is trying to get both Robin and Aldridge here. Obviously unlikely but I think that's the small hold up...
Woj says we're serious consideration! Yay!
What great player are trading for?
Way more than I'd want to pay for him and more than we'd offer in a sign and trade. Here we come Koufos?
I doubt you get Ed to change his mind, though that happens sometimes. But I don't see why we couldn't sign and trade him if Portland is up for it.
Pretty sure it's different for RFAs?
Yeah they have to sell Aldridge as the guy who brings people over. Come here, have a little faith, we'll put a team around you that is...
You just fax an offer sheet over, he signs it. Three days since then. It's possible the Lakers are the team he's talking to, but I doubt it.
Pretty much. Tell him ow we can find him a Center to play with (probably Lopez or Koufos) and how the other pieces we have (including Kobe) would...
On occasion. He's not necessarily the most mobile guy, but he gives 100% effort on the floor.
Koufos is decent defensively. I'd say above average.
Agreed. This is bad news for the Lakers in terms of finding an impact player this summer. It really looks more and more like they're content to...
It was implied that Aldridge wanted to know how specifically he'd be used, who he'd be playing with, and that kind of stuff. Houston uses...
I have no idea what kind of shenanigans Riley would have to pull to get Aldridge, but I'm almost convinced he can't do it this summer.
No news on DeAndre who I believe has a meeting with the Knicks either today or tomorrow. We won't sign both Harris and Aldridge because Aldridge...
Steve Kyler has a pretty good idea that Harris has a deal in place.
It could be a pity party in the respect that both parties know Aldridge isn't going there, but they can both make each other feel better by talking.

We're interested in Koufos and Amar'e. :)
