5 Best Landing Spots for LaMarcus Aldridge

Where do you think he should go?


New York Knicks

Dallas Mavericks

Portland Trail Blazers

Houston Rockets

San Antonio Spurs

[TheMoneyShot]

He'll probably go to Dallas.

[t-wizzle]

He should just stay in Portland.

[BigSpoon]

Spurs or Rockets would be very interesting.

[Seto]

Dallas obviously.

[jtoler]

Hawks haha. Never cared for Horford.

[Covy]

Portland or SA

Could play next to Duncan for a season before him and Kawhi become the future

[Conqueror]

He should retire.

[gauchojake]

Lakers obv

[jjgold]

soft

cannot help anyone

too old now

[Seto]

Lol at LA being "soft". Dude played with like 3 injuries in the playoffs and had zero help from any of his teammates.

He's the best power forward in the league when healthy IMO. At least top 3 (Griffin/Davis).

[jjgold]

best years behind him

He will get paid too

A glorified Stoudemaire

What league do you watch? I really don't remember STAT dominating with 45 point playoff games styling with the dream shake and a back to the basket game that extends almost as far as the 3 pt line. Last of a dying breed, any team that can snatch him with what won't even be 3/4 of a max contract a year from now by paying him the max before the cap increase is getting a deal.

Love Aldridge. Any team that gets him will be drastically better.

Spurs win it all next year with him as long as the other old guys can still walk.

[jjgold]

You have to be insane to give this guy a max contract he's in his injury prone years and will be a very good player ...like Charles Barkley says he's not a superstar

[Smoke]

Smokiest Lamarcus is a marshmallow

Toniest would you eat him?

[existential]

Spurs make most sense for any Texas team, he would get the most touches there. he'd get the least in Houston, though a Harden-Howard-Aldridge trio would be interesting.

hometown Mavs would just be too sticky. paying all that money at PF with Dirk then coming off the bench wouldn't make sense. only way it could work is if Dirk was willing to be traded (highly unlikely) and Cuban was willing to see him go (equally unlikely).

of course, business wise, Mavs could get a nice haul for Dirk from a contender since he's cheap at only $17M remaining over next 2 years. but that's only because Dirk left a ton of money on the table so they could sign Parsons. overall, things in Dallas are a mess with a ton of their own FA's to deal with plus likely no draft picks in 2016.

[lakerboy]

Lakers will try

[EaglesPhan36]

Think it's a pretty simple equation if Duncan retires.

If not, then I think it's equal odds him staying in Portland or going to Houston.

No way he goes to Dallas IMO.

[jjgold]

He is no Duncan

Dallas already has Chandler which has 10x more impact o game than Alridge

LOL...you guys are STAT GUYS

[Seto]

LOL...you guys are STAT GUYS

Lol fukking goof comparing a soon-to-be 33-year old defensive center to a soon-to-be 30-year old offensive minded power forward.

What next, Dallas doesn't need Durant cause they already have Dirk?

[Gonz312]

Portland, especially if they can keep their team together with Matthews getting healthy...but would love to see him in SA.

[jjgold]

I do not think he fits in San Antonio as his defense lacks he's most likely staying in Portland because they could pay him the most money

Spurs fan just had a haircut done to immortalize Aldridge:
