    I would love to see Aldridge play in San Antonio and I'm a Houston fan all the way. It would be fun to see how far Pops could take Leonard and Aldridge and what types of creative ways he could get Aldridge easy buckets with his range(even more range that Duncan!).

    ...that being said - would be nice if Houston scored one of either Love or Aldridge because our PF rotation leaves a lot to be desired.

    Can we just annihilate the Staples Center and its bandwagon fans from the face of the earth?

    It makes me so mad that the Rockets have to fight and claw to get their way into contender status when other teams are just gifted it over and over.

    Good series of tweets that outline what LMA could earn if he signs the max this summer vs . if he signs a 2yr w/ player option and signs the max next summer. Could be a viable option for the rox.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2. If Aldridge signs a max deal w/ the Spurs (or any team other than Portland) – he can sign for a max of 4 years &amp; 4.5% annual increases…</p>&mdash; Tommy Beer (@TommyBeer) <a href="https://twitter.com/TommyBeer/status/614078531807629312">June 25, 2015</a></blockquote>

    Nah, it's the Lakers. Different than the Bulls. Like the Yankees... it's a legitimate draw. Always has been, always will be. Everyone wants to bang a model at least once.

    Im a Rockets fan and I would Love Lamarcus Aldridge to sign with the Rockets. I couldn't careless about the Spurs or any other organization.

    I would easily give up Ariza, Terrence Jones, Papanikolao and Clint Capela these years pick or future picks. We need our 3rd star, pleeese Morey make it happen!

    Rumors are spreading fast that Russell will be the Lakers pick. Have to think it is due to Aldridge possibility.

    Clarkson-Russell-Kobe backcourt is pretty ridiculous scoring combination.

    Umm, we were gifted the MVP runner-up to pull us out of mediocrity which in turn landed us Dwight.

    A lot to be thankful for.

    I don't see other teams gifted. It's just the way they worked contracts and when they expire. Add into it the draft too.

    LOL sorry bro but this is a bad homer post

    We fk'in stole Harden in a lopsided trade.

    And Dwight freely chose on his own to sign with us. You know just like LMA is going to decide

    At this point,

    the Spurs look like a -1000 favorite to win the sweepstake.

    Hard to imagine this will go a different direction.

    Is there any way we can sign LMA to a 2 years 33 mill contract with the first year being 12 mil so we can keep ariza?Then use MLE on Lull?

    Or just sign him to a one year wink wink deal telling him wed resign him next year when cap rises?

    So basically what you're saying is that we should expect the next NBA Lockout to happen around 2020, give or take.
