[ESPN] Sources: Aldridge to start free agency with Lakers, Rockets

He will go to Spurs, any supposed insider claiming something else is just playing.

 

Ooops

"So the Houston Rockets came in with their charts and numbers and golly-gee-we're-gonna-conquer-the-world-as-soon-as-they-start-handing-out-trophies-for-what-you-do-on-paper routine, not to mention a pair of studs in James Harden and Dwight Howard, even though the rest of the cupboard would be left bare."

 

OMG enough with Doc!

He said himself he has NO SOURCES in Houston.

His % thing on LMA is embarrassing.

It's time to move on.

 

(((LOL)))

 

Here is Doc's complete string of nonsensical tweets for reference:

Good point. I was just clarifying for someone who missed and was optimistic after seeing the 1st tweet.

 

I like how Doc hedged his bets. Really fine job, almost like a true ESPN "insider".

 

You guys used to spend hours and hours trying to decipher all the different DR posts and Tweets. They all transcribe as the same line, "Come closer, Put your ear up close. Whispers... I don't really know, lulz."

 

Doc Rocket?

More like Crock Rocket amirite?

 

What a horrendous sentence, even for Fran.

 

686 posts in a thread about a guy who's not coming here?


Lets not gut our team for a guy who has us what, somewhere between 3rd and 5th on his list? Actively explore the trade market for available PG upgrades and drop a few assets. I don't see why that's not Plan A.

 

Man **** that piece of ****.

 

how can Plan be based on players that are unavailable. LA is a free agent and available. there's no reason why you don't go for that. If morey didnt even attempt to court LA who definitely fits houston, you would just be complaining why that didn't happen.

 

Morey won't be gutting the team or getting rid of players if he isn't sure that LMA is coming to HOU.

What makes you think that the Rockets are between 3rd and 5th on his list? Because the media doesn't talk about the Rockets? Hell, i just watched an NBA TV update where they said that LMA was going to meet with the Knicks today - they listed all the teams that LMA has met with but failed to mention HOU ...so yeah I wouldn't read too much into what you are hearing from the media just yet.

For all we know, the meeting between LMA and HOU went well - if basketball really is his main priority, then SAS and HOU have to be right up there.

 

Why Bucks over Blazers?
Or Knicks?
Or LOLakers?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Monroe met with 4 teams: Bucks, Knicks, Lakers, Blazers. All offered the max, I'm told. Chose Bucks because they're the most playoff ready.</p>&mdash; Howard Beck (@HowardBeck) <a href="https://twitter.com/HowardBeck/status/616631199847555072">July 2, 2015</a></blockquote>

because the bucks have a more promising future than those other teams for the next 3 years.

 

What a crock. We got further last year than any of his other suitors last year, even with two starters down. Bare cupboard, like we don't know how to get quality role players.

 

I would have chosen the Bucks too.

Knicks = horribly run franchise

Lakers = great young talent coming in but will be a while before they might contend again

Blazers = uncertainty of LMA/Matthews (AA gone too) - might not make the playoffs in the West

Bucks = young squad, already made the playoffs - only gonna get better AND benefit of playing in the EAST

 

This. He loves the attention and his tweets reads like an old man that just discovered the emoticon app.

 

Blinebury is an old timer, not sure if people take his column seriously....I don't even think he believes in advanced stats ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
